AlexGolumbia hits a grand fucking slam here: Mike Masnick and other self-absorbed, nominally “leftist” online activists loathe DRM, even tho 1) it’s the exact type of narrow technical fix (rather than a political or social one) that they champion in other contexts and 2) they love encryption of their own communications and files. Also, Richard Stallman-esque opposition to DRM is intellectually incoherent. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/booksToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booksToRead</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/booklover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booklover</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodan</a>

AlexWay too many liberals who should know better spend all day correctly railing against Big Tech as the destructors of democracy but then acting like repealing Section 230 (something that other countries do just fine without and which disproportionately benefits Meta and Alphabet in the US specifically) would be intolerable. It’s absurd. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodan</a>

AlexSo glad Mike Masnick has berated people over Section 230 so that Grindr scammers can continue to make people fear for their lives.
