Images of a modest middle class vacation
FBI: this should make you feel bad, that modest middle class vacation is at the cost of the publishing company CEO’s second yacht being smaller than he promised his children. It doesn’t even have a helipad!
.world pre-emptively blocked the piracy comms because they are ostensibly based in Germany and have to abide by EU rules re: promotion/discussion of copyright infringement.
Despite the fact that they were never even issued a warning for such an obscure internet forum, and plausible deniability because the content wasn’t even theirs, they thought it’s better be paranoid safe than sorry.
ETA: so now .world has a stricter and more draconian policy regarding the discussion of piracy than Reddit, a publically traded entity based in the US, which has even harsher copyright infringement laws.
Slight nitpick(a)
You wrote 西 (xī) which means west. You probably meant 习 (xí), referring to the president.
Also in “Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China” you wrote 金 (jīn) which means gold, when it should be 就.
…how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don’t really see much oppression happening.
Must be a new anti-白左 legislation of some sort.
.world has one disadvantage: It has to follow the laws of the Netherlands, Finland AND Germany.
So theoretically, if something’s legal for the Dutch and Finns but illegal in Germany, it’s not ok on .world. I believe it used to be smaller but I think they expanded admin teams? Idk how a single non profit website is somehow beholden to the laws of 3 separate countries.
It would be hilarious if they expanded this further. They add a country where alcohol sale is illegal? Recommendations for cocktails are now against TOS. For all. Add Singapore? Oops, discussing procurement of chewing gum is now against TOS. USA? Kinder Surprise is against TOS.
It’s Spez’s Lemmy account.
See, poor student drowning in debt? These people are having a mediocre vacation! Don’t look up how much money the publishing companies make btw
