Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single .. Please speak up!

As the anniversary of the Twitter Wave of 2018 approaches I’m pouring one out for the ones who slunk back to twitter to talk about *checks* politicians and the same bigoted twitter personalities that they’ve been complaining about for the past six years

No one:

Absolutely nobody:

Not one single person:

Me: this format implies that “nobody” is saying “nothing,” which is a double negative and means that people are, in fact, talking about the topic at hand.

#PPLCyberhaine & #Censure
Proposition de loi contre la haine en ligne : déluge d'amendements pour généraliser la censure

Pour la première fois dans l’histoire de la régulation des nouvelles technologies, ce texte déposé à l'Assemblée nationale le 20 mars 2019, exige donc un retrait en 24 heures. Mieux, il dresse une liste fermée de contenus dits manifestement illicites concernés par cette obligation.

Article (très) complet et (très) important : https://www.nextinpact.com/news/108020-proposition-loi-contre-haine-en-ligne-deluge-damendements-pour-generaliser-censure.htm

Last night's v2.9.1 release of #Mastodon had some bugs around audio uploads, so here is a small patch to take care of that:

#Mastodon v2.9.1 is out 🎉

A new moderation API, audio uploads, and domain blocks that extend to subdomains automatically

So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)

This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.

WE'VE FIGURED IT OUT

Google a une liste méconnue de tout ce que vous avez acheté en ligne, et personne ne comprend pourquoi

Dans un onglet méconnu intitulé « achats », Google garde une trace de tout ce que vous avez acheté, depuis la création de votre compte gmail. Cette liste est quasiment impossible à effacer.

Vous ne vous souvenez peut-être pas d’avoir acheté le premier album de Zaz en 2010 sur Amazon, mais Google, lui, s’en rappelle très bien. (...)
