I believe voter registration enables making sure that each citizen only votes once. It’s not that you’re barred from voting, it’s more for tallying and preventing multiple casts.
The difference is that not every state requires an SSN to obtain a driver’s license, and voter registration is granted provided you’re a citizen. An SSN is typically provided at birth or with granting of citizenship, but an individual or their parents have to apply for one (I think). Also too, resident noncitizens that work in the US are supposed to get an SSN for IRS reporting purposes. This is why SSNs aren’t typically considered a citizenship document.
I’ll go further. I think the U.S. should be like Australia. Voting should be compulsory. You can return a blank ballot if you like, but you have to return a ballot.
We can't even get VR and AR right ans we don't even really know what to do with it. What are we going to use neuralink for? Turning off our TV with our minds?
Sure, I agree. But it's not "there" yet. I've had headsets since the DK2. I love VR but it still needs a few years and there's no real killer app yet. AR is the same if not worse. The Apple headset is interesting but it;s still not close. I'm looking forward to see where it will go.
The original intent of corps was to be progressive. They would close after a job was completed. Somewhere our elders decided no, we should keep them open and shovel trash into peoples lives and keep them down with employee abuse and corruption.
Side note:
My favorite corruption story was when that oil platform blew up and years before we found out that the MMS (which oversees contracts between O&G and the US GOVT) was having sex and cocaine parties in the offices.
O&G and ALL INFRASTRUCTURE should be nationalized and heavily regulated.
The real villains, the owner class, are untouchable, they won and are effectively destroying human habitability of earth unopposed to keep running up their ego scores in the face of the Armageddon of their making, unless you count empty rhetoric.
There’s no victory to be had, and no hope if you’re paying attention.
So yeah, I’ll take a little joy when the truth is inflicted on their doting Stormtroopers who enact their sociopathic orders, who will still believe in the cause no matter how hard daddy capitalist slaps them around.
So they received a take down request from the Indian government, mistook the users for being in India, followed the law that they’re required to follow in India, and when it was brought to their attention that those users were actually based in Canada they went back and allowed the posts. This doesn’t seem as malicious as people are making it out to be, they should probably work on their geo-blocking, but with 3 billion users in 150+ countries with their own local laws it’s probably safer to be aggressive when it comes to removing content when requested.
Well they don’t, hence why they’re taking down posts as required by the countries they operate in and willing to accept a noticable false positive rate to do it.
Your first comment was incredibly vague… I was responding to this part:
Glad corporations get the power to make these decisions.
However, a high false positive rate is different than assuming every post is “guilty until proven innocent”, and they aren’t mutually exclusive either. Current example here would be the automated removal of CSAM on Lemmy. A model was built to remove CSAM and it has a high rate of false positives. Does this mean that it assumes everything is CSAM until it’s able to confirm it isn’t? No. It could work that way, that’s an implementation detail that I don’t know the specifics of, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it does.
But really, who cares? The false positive rate matters for site usability for sure, but the rest is an implementation detail in an AI model, it isn’t the court of law. Nobody’s putting you in Facebook prison because they accidentally mistook your post for rule breaking.
Actually… you might be on to something here. He may already have gone. Might explain the erratic behavior. The dumb shit he says and does looks an awful lot like brain damage 🤔
