#43A digital Fahrenheit 451 burns a lot less bright it seems.
I don't think its the fact that its digital. They are quite literally banning books and scrubbing anything DEI related from all their records, but people don't seem to have noticed much.

#44Next week American ISP's will block Annas-archive, people use VPN's, they get confused. The cycle goes on
It's only the domains that have been seized. US ISPs don't block websites in the same way they do in EU or China.
Oh, that's funny. The only ISP that services my current domicile blocks sites all the time in the name of "safety," including several I need to access for my job. I have to use a VPN just to get things done. There's no appeal process or channel, either. Thankfully, I'm a month out from moving somewhere that has actual choice in providers, though I'll probably still use the VPN anyway.

#47AI companies can download books but people can't? Is that right?
Yes, perfectly okay for large companies for billionaires. As long its structured as a corporation, with the super wealthy as the majority owners, have the connections to get federal laws passed to grant monopolies and enable congress insider trading, everything is okay! Some examples, there are probably hundreds more: 1) Its okay for pharma companies to provide addictive drugs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackler_f…

Yes, with FDA approval. You can dispute whether the approval should be granted in the first place, but that's not at all comparable to some drug dealer slinging fentanyl on some street corner. Not to mention this happened decades ago, before the current wave of corruption in the whitehouse. Finally, isn't the whole point of laws and regulations is that there's vaguely some review? I'd far rather have prospective drug dealers having to go through FDA approval before they can sell their drugs, than have them sell whatever they want, without giving safety or efficacy lip service.
>2) Coke can use cocaine, or coca leaves, but no one else: https://blog.oup.com/2014/03/coke-cocaine-coca-cola-capitali...
Again, with the proper licenses. Believe it or not, you too can buy methamphetamine legally if you have a prescription! It even has a snazzy brand name, desoxyn.
>3) This one is hilarious and an ingenious innovation by current administration -- Ban on CBDC, locking out Fed Govt from providing crypto alternatives
What does this have to do with corporations?

#48Since when does a judge in NY get to tell Greenland they can't have their registrar sell to Anna's Archive?

cTLDs do things very differently

#49This is pirate radio all over again.

#50So what stops them from just changing it to NotAnna's Archive and operating under that domain?
Isn't that what's been happening to the Pirate Bay for 20 years?
They lose one domain, so they just register a new nearly-identical one
