In virtue of my heretically archaic views about biology and the importance of women’s rights, I’m the target of quite a lot of rude online behaviour. The other day, for instance, I learnt I was lucky I hadn’t been hanged yet. So you might expect me to be emphatically in favour of attempts to remove what the Online Safety Bill calls “harmful communications” from the internet.
This isn’t the case. In fact, I think the Bill’s proposals on this kind of internet content are a dog’s dinner. If implemented, they will undoubtedly suppress desirable levels of freedom of expression on the internet, and cause more problems than they resolve.

imagine the twisted mind you need to say people can "vote wrong" and be shilling democracy at the same time :)
@CapitalB nuja, das ist auch mehr oder weniger soon meta-paper ;) durch die quellen habe ich mich jetzt nicht durchgearbeitet. das sind geschichten die teilweise schon seit einem jahr in der wissenschaft diskutiert werden (meist mit safe&effektive abgetan :)
@niclas :D
i'm increasingly happy that i took the right bet not taking that stuff.

@NatePlastic sounds like the start of a lovecraft story :)
@khaosgrille
the subsidiaries should be stopped at one point for sure, but they are the way to fix a system which is broken by subsidaries, imho.
@khaosgrille
looking at other industries, small farmers won't come back after "suffering". it's already shit for them. sure, we can blame them for not acting right in the 90s, but if that means we're left with agrotech monopoly everyone is fucked, as industry cares jack shit for the soil etc. we will be left with totally depleted soil no fertilizers (which are getting rare) can fix. we already see this here in some regions. it will be dustbowl.
alternative is to subsidize small family owned farms (preferably using traditional methods), cutting funds to industrial farming. stuff will be cheaper, but we will have locally produced food for longer than the next ~20 years.
@niclas
> [...] what is happening is Big Subsidies to corporations, and very Small subsidies to family farmers. So they are closing shop en masse now.
that's happening here too, especially in eastern germany as things already were organized in big structures there.
@khaosgrille well, as long as the EU funding is coupled to bigger is better nothing will change. soil ruining practice is too profitable for the big agrocompanies, and likely the only way for the few remaining small farms to survive. even if they want to change to sustainable models, the change does cost money to get things going.
just letting the market fix things doesn't work anymore at this point as the agrocompanies got too big due to the broken funding model.
maybe things will just fix themselves in the coming cold hungry winter UwU
