I read the article. In-fact I started this thread asking for clarification to whom these laws apply. Then you went off on a tangent about Zuckerberg and implied i'm a "chud." So let me state how I think these laws apply, tell me if this is correct.

The Nation of Brazil passes a law that says the users of a website have to abide by Brazil's laws. I don't know what they meant by that, I assume lemmy.ml that is not hosted in Brazil isn't expected to know nor care about what Brazil's laws say. But if that were the case, then Facebook also wouldn't be expected to know nor care about what Brazil's laws say. The citizens of brazil that use facebook? Sure, they should be subject to those laws. But why should any other entity that exists outside of Brazil be obligated to know nor care about Brazilian law?

Those details seem pretty important, and the article doesn't address them at all, it merely says that Brazil's supreme court says that website are required to "deplatform" and "delete posts" of users who broke the law. But why should lemmy.ml abide by brazilian laws?

Which countries laws "ALREADY APPLIED TO EVERYONE ELSE?" Cause I'm pretty sure that isn't how laws of other countries work. I understand that you want countries to pass laws making it illegal for people to make fun of you on the Internet, but that's a laughable notion.

That is the natural extension of your line of thinking is it not? Which users are "persecutable" by brazilian/Israeli law? If it's not just the citizens of Brazil (which i'm ok with, obviously a nation should be able to pass laws that apply to their citizens) but everyone "persecutable," doesn't that mean that a country that is sufficiently able to persecute anyone in the world is now justified to enforce their laws upon the entire world?

So is lemmy.ml breaking the law in brazil right now? And rather then laughing at the notion, you think it's a good thing? Yea you should probably change your name to Avatar of Fascism.

So you are telling me that when Israel makes their definition of "anti-semitism" illegal that everyone in the entire world that uses the internet has to abide by it? That doesn't seem desirable or sane at all.

>In 2014, after years of debate, Brazil's Congress ratified Law 12.965/2014, the Internet Civil Framework. This law required social media companies to delete posts and deplatform users who broke Brazilian laws. However, it placed the burden on Brazilian courts to identify the posts and accounts.

Is this meant to apply to all "users" of the platform or only Brazilian Citizens?

If it applies to Brazilian Citizens, that's all fine and good. But if I break brazilian law by criticizing their government, is lemmy.ml expected to "deplatform" and "censor" me?

Sure, but that basically means there are approximately zero countries hosting US Armed forces that would try to kick them out just because Iran was launching rockets at those forces.

Probably more likely that those countries will support Iranian leaders getting replaced with people who won't shoot missiles into their air space.

Whether Hudson's theory is correct or not, breaking up Iran is obviously something that will take place over multiple administrations. What Trump has done, directly attack Iran, is just the start. Gulf War 1 was 12years before Iraq was actually overthrown.

The photo should just be an Israeli flag.

No one except liberals attempts to classify individual arms based on some inconsistent and dubious concepts of "magnitude of lethality" that is related to the prowess of a user wielding such a weapon.

Literally all of them. Even the US with all of it's intentional violence has had Car Deaths as the number cause of death for children below 18 for a while.

🙄

In which we equate Nuclear weapons with individual arms. It's the mental equivalent of assuming Communism means you have to share your tooth brush.

i started to respond but there are so many things wrong with your inane hypothetical i quit a couple paragraphs in. just fucking light up some neurons

Yikes. It took you multiple paragraphs before you understood how goddamn reactionary the Austrian response is. And while you understand it's wrong, you refuse to accept it. Liberal to the core. Please do not vote again for everyone's sake.

Yikes. Normalizing exotic scenarios. My daughter is afraid of thunder, a much more logical and reasonable fear. Any kid that is afraid of going to school because maybe someone will be on the news is a victim of abuse. If you can't trust your fellow man, you can't be trusted to participate in society.

Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason),

Why? Who is abusing their kids by trying to convince them that they should be afraid of school?

Do you think that the average person is a killer but the only thing that stops them are the tools they have available?

So it turns out that Iranian air-defenses were even weaker then reported, and their massive response after launching 400+ missiles, was 9 confirmed hits. Meanwhile the latest threat about a memorable strike was wishcasting by the supreme leader.

What a joke. Iran will be the regional whipping boy until the regime changes, or the US collapses. Not sure which will happen first.

If there is no reason for them anymore, because there aren't cars as a form of private transportation then hell yea I'm on board.

Which is a completely irrelevant point here

So if the point isn't to save lives, what is the point?
