    Grundsätzlich lobenswert wenn auch #Qwant teilweise im Eigentum von #HaltdieFresseSpringerPresse ist und sich beim #Leistungsschutzrecht #LinkTax nicht mit Rum bekleckert hat (weil sie die wahnwitzigen Forderungen der Verlagslobby zumindest teilweise bezahlen).

    Insoweit ist Qwant ein Hostile Actor gegenüber den Interessen der Internetnutzerinnen und Internetnutzer und als solcher unwürdig, zur Nutzung in Erwägung gezogen zu werden.

  6. Australia Pushes for Existence Tax to Cover Up Failed Link Tax

    Australia was completely humiliated when their link tax law went down in flames. Now, they are taxing Meta as compensation.

  16. Walled Culture the book, three years on

    Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

    Duncan and guest Tim Burrowes (ABC MediaLand) also discuss the fate of the Oz government's attempts to impose a link tax on DataFarmers. Which went wrong in all the ways tech activists warned about, and more;

  25. @titaniumbiscuit @SchreibeEinfach

    #Uploadfilter wurden eingeführt mit vielen der negativen Effekte von denen die Leute mit Ahnung vorab intensiv gewarnt hatten.

    Übrigens hat #YouTube - wohl wissend das die neuen Haftungsregeln jeglicher kleineren europäischen Konkurrenz schwer zu schaffen machen werden - kurz nach der Entscheidung die Zwangswerbung + Anreiz zum Abo massiv ausgebaut und damit seine Einnahmen nocheinmal deutlich gesteigert. Bei gleichzeitiger Verschlechterung der Nutzererfahrung.. aber die haben ja kaum noch eine Wahl, den nur die größten aller Plattformen können diese idiotischen Haftungsregeln ohne größere Probleme stemmen.

    Das #Leistungschutzrecht #LinkTax hat auch - wie vorhergesagt - nicht wirklich funktioniert, da es von völlig falschen Voraussetzungen ausgeht.

    Alles in allem war die Reform für Nutzer schlecht, für viele Urheber schlecht, für den Wirtschaftstandort schlecht aber sie war gut für ein paar große Verwertungsgesellschaften und Digitalkonzerne.

    EPIC FAIL😒

    Wir alle wünschen uns mehr europäische Digitalunternehmen... aber zur Wahrheit gehört auch, dass unsere Politik seit Jahren alles falsch macht, was man falsch machen kann. Von #Uploadfiltern über #Leistungschutzrecht #LinkTax zur #Chatkontrolle und #Vorratsdatenspeicherung .

    Nie geht es um die Interessen der Nutzerinnen und Nutzer... sondern immer um die Interessen anderer.

    So wird das nix.

  43. @wolf480pl @1br0wn @jmaris I totally share your frustration about having fight bad proposals like #ChatControl, #EUProtect, and #LinkTax over and over. I do this for a living. 🫣

    But consider this: how do we know that those bad proposals are unpopular? People keep on voting for far-right, conservative, and economically liberal majorities both nationally and in EU elections. The result is people in power who support mass surveillance and other rights-crushing policies.

  48. Yes, let’s “Make it Fair” – by recognising that copyright has failed to reward creators properly

    A few weeks ago, the UK’s regional and national daily news titles ran similar front covers, exhorting the government there to “Make it Fair”. The campaign Web site explained:

    Tech companies use creative content, such as news articles, books, music, film, photography, visual art, and all kinds of creative work, to train their generative AI models.

    PS: As a IT guy, you should also understand, that actually cutting off an internet service that has millions of users that WANT to access it, it going to be very difficult.

    Even more so, as few credible european alternatives exist, a fact not helped by europe caring more about legacy media companies than user rights which would be one of its few selling points. (Just remember the #uploadfilter and #linktax debacle.)

    Europe dont see users as people having rights... it sees users as something that should be milked without rights from european companies instead of US ones. 😒

    The #EuropeanUnion and the goverments of the member states have done very little in the last 2 decades that benefits me as an internet user but have done lot of things that violate my interests in multiple ways.

    So I trust them even less than just the - wise - distrust anyone should have about even a democratically elected goverment.

    The very idea of a #linktax /publishers right is incredible stupid and unjustified.

    Digital platforms are perfectly right to deny legacy media paymemt for something that legacy media benefits from far more than the other way arround.

    The internet does not need legacy media, but legacy media needs the internet. With this basic fact out of the way, it is painfully obvious who should pay whom - if at all.

    We made a similar mistake in Europe with the idiotic copyright reform of 2019. It achieved absolutly nothing besides making life more miserable for every european internet user and further reducing the already weak european digital economy.

    European search engines - that cannot afford years of litigation from greedy legacy media - now pay for news while Google - who can afford any law suit while legacy media cannot afford to be not listed on google - does not.

    The idea is idiotic and should be trashed.

    The internet does not need legacy media, but legacy media needs the internet. With this basic fact out of the way, it is painfully obvious who should pay whom - if at all.

    We made a similar mistake in Europe with the idiotic copyright reform of 2019. It achieved absolutly nothing besides making life more miserable for every european internet user and further reducing the already weak european digital economy.

    European search engines - that cannot afford years of litigation from greedy legacy media - now pay for news while Google - who can afford any law suit while legacy media cannot afford to be not listed on google - does not.

    The idea is idiotic and should be trashed.

    Und das ist - neben der zweifelhaften grundsätzlichen Sinnhaftigkeit - auch einer der Gründe warum ich alles derartige strikt ablehne. Denn einmal eingeführt, ist der Weg zu einer Ausweispflicht für alle nur noch sehr kurz. Du musst beweisen dass du Ü16 bist..... bei der Gelegenheit protokollieren wir gleichnochmal alle Daten die wir jetzt eh schon haben. Für später..... irgendeinen Nutzen finden wir schon.... und sei es der Verkauf an den Höchstbietenden.

    Zwar mag so eine #Klarnamenpflicht manchen attraktiv erschienen, macht sie es doch - theoretisch - einfacher Hassposter zu identifizieren, allerdings ist der Preis dafür durchaus hoch.... auch viele vernünftige Stimmen würden damit verstimmen.

    Australians "Springer Konzern" die Murdoch Medien Gruppe hat übrigens ähnlich wie für den #LinkTax auch hier massiv für das Gesetz lobbyiert. Hautpsächlich weil man sich damit über Umwege mehr Epressungsmaterial gegenüber BigTech und natürlich auch einen Gewinn an eigener Reichweite erhofft.
