Want to be an evil motherfucking commenting in the comment sections of youtube and reddit? Ok. No anonymity. Buying public data on people? Flag that shit and send a notice to the people who's info got sold, since obviously personal privacy doesn't exist anymore. Uncomfortable with your sexuality because you're a repressed homosexual or like being pegged? Fuck it, your porn history is out there for everyone to see. You'll either let your freak flag fly, or you're going to have to repress that shit more and jerk off without the internet like we all grew up doing. Bring back personal accountability and shame. Anonymity clearly doesn't work. It's less about "fixing the internet" and more about enforcing baseline data collection and retention rules, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. It's a law with real teeth that lets governments and citizens go after data brokers and assert sovreignty over their own identity and data online. It's less about anonymity and more about not allowing any private entity to acquire and exploit the data of hundreds of millions of people for whatever means they want. And yes yes yes, it's never going to completely be gotten rid of - onion routing and the dark web give bad actors a ton of tools to avoid enforcement. But if it's explicity illegal and treated as the bad behavior that it is, it will significantly reduce its negative impact. That's far afield from THIS specific issue, but goddamn, the dude would not have been able to target and conduct his terroristic assasination plot - but for the easily accessed personal data marketplaces online.

Right, we're talking around each other. I agree with all of your post regarding data protection and how it's done in Europe. I was more referring to the general concept of civility and lack of accountability the internet fosters, particularly here. Just now, Redneck Mutha said: Now This is crossing a line. Dude, be yourself. Don't repress it, embrace it. Unless you're a pedophile. Then repress that shit.

I do find it fascinating that many of the same folks that are clamoring for EU-style regulation of food dyes and ingredients, the "MAHA!" types.....are opposed to a similar GDPR regimen here. Both would be really good ideas that would substantially improve the quality of life in America.

Evangelical Christianity is man made.

June 21Jun 21 the guy who assassinated a democrat had mental health issues. Shocking His manifesto sounds about as logical as half the shit the president tweets or you’d hear on AM radio.

Yeah, the insanely pro life guy and who was a member a radical evangelical church and who has a hit list of democrats, abortion providers, and abortion advocates was totally not motivated by any right politics. Nope, just random mental illness and nothing else to see.

That would be helpful. Stop feeding stochastic terrorism, and create fewer stochastic terrorists. Naah, that’s too easy.

Let be fair, not to discount the leadership but our corporate oligarchs creating rabbit hole content feeds to whatever agenda the crazy person finds themselves diving down also plays a massive part in the equation. Then there is personal autonomy. That's often offset by a lack of any efforts to help folks with mental illness even when the signs are clear, if there is money to even pay for it.
