    I think we're on the same page here. I think bill C-18 is ludicrous and self-destructive and contrary to how the 'net/web has worked from its inception.

    And I don't believe the #government should be saying what is or isn't #news, or who can and cannot #speak/#broadcast. And since the purpose of broadcast #licenses was to share a limited #resource (#spectrum), and the #internet doesn't have that limitation, shouldn't be involved in #regulating the internet at all.

  3. Dneska mi přišel #mikrofon pro mě, pro holky a bezdrátový klopový. Dělal jsem s Eliškou takovou variaci na #podcast, abychom vyzkoušeli, jak to funguje.

    Teď jsem to pouštěl Leničce v autě cestou z šachů a mohla se u toho posmát, protože tam Eliška samozřejmě dělala hrozný hovadiny 😁

    Až si člověk říká, jestli to nerozjet doopravdy... 😀

  4. Al final la #UAB, després de tot el rebombori amb el seu perfil a X, ha decidit tancar el seu compte en aquesta xarxa social i passar-se a Bluesky:

    https://www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-premsa/detall-noticia/la-uab-inactiva-el-seu-perfil-a-la-xarxa-social-x-1345829508832.html?detid=1345946718942

    No cal dir que a la meva feina sóc l'únic que creu que la UAB ara podria obrir una instància pròpia de Mastodon. Em deceb aquesta decisió? Una mica, però vaja, que ja m'ho veia a venir.

  5. @DecaturNature The shopping mall angle led to some legal decisions ~1980s, possibly before. I don't know if there's been any subsequent online equivalent. I can't point at anything specific (though I may be able to turn something up on request). But that's where I'd start looking.

    Pruneyard v. Robbins is the canonical case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyar (SCOTUS, 1980), finding for the plaintiffs that a free-speech right did exist.

    This is probably the remit of the EFF / ACLU / EPIC and similar organisations.

    For the record I've long had an issue with the notion that free speech rights are only a matter of direct government action. There are a few reasons for this:

    • The right to exclude speech from private property ultimately relies on government sanction for that exclusion.
    • Spatial monopolies, whether of commercial, educational, recreational, or even residential spaces, trade private control (and powers and limitations) for public ones, whether or not those private concerns are for-profit or not-for-profit. E.g., what are the free-speech rights on a private school or university, or a religious institution, or a park, or a residential complex?
    • Common carrier provisions were enacted in transportation, and later communications systems, specifically because those systems, though privately held, exercised so much power over commerce, travel, and communication. The idea that free speech is absolutely limited to government interactions in that context strikes me as ludicrous.

  6. I recently read a couple of Elmore Leonard crime novels -- "Riding the Rap" and "Out of Sight".

    I don't read that much contemporary fiction, nor do I have a deep background in crime fiction as a genre, so you'll have to make do with the remarks of a relatively ill informed reader.

    I can see why Leonard is a both popular and respected writer. He knows how to structure a gripping narrative, and his dialogue rings true.

    On a more critical note, I can imagine these two novels providing future students of US culture with material for a study of the anxieties and aspirations of middle class white men in an America seemingly riven with disorder.

    In "Riding the Rap", Leonard's background as a writer of westerns comes across; the US marshal protagonist brings order to a lawless frontier by acting on his own initiative rather than a mere agent of a federal bureaucracy. Here though, the frontier is no longer in the west, but in Florida, and the threatening nonwhite others are no longer American Indians but a Puerto Rican hitman and a Black Bahamian immigrant who, as part of his assimilation to Black America, adopted an Islamic name.

    Leonard's depiction of racial attitudes intersects with his representation of socioeconomic class distinctions. The two nonwhite criminals act for a while as henchmen to a drink and drug addled wealthy white playboy, whose kidnapping plan drives the plot forward. His exploitation of his senile mother's wealth and the revelation of her ugly racist attitudes point to the class and status tensions that exist between a decadent white upper class and the Appalachian coalmining heritage of the US marshal protagonist.

    These racial and white populist themes recur in "Out of Sight", where middle aged, middle class, white bank robbers are contrasted with African American home invaders, the latter being characterized by their cruelty, treachery, idleness, lust, and greed.

    In both novels the middle aged male protagonist beds a much younger female character; some readers might find these glimpses of the fantasy life of ageing men unintentionally ludicrous.

    I think I'll reserve final judgment on Leonard until I've read another of his books. "Swag" is supposed to be good, but neither my local second bookstore nor my libraries have it available at the moment, and I don't want to pay full price for it.
