  • My point is you shouldn't make assumptions. Just because you can't track all of my activity doesn't mean I'm a bot.

  • Nepal has banned all pornographic sites in 2018.

    Hahahahaha, no. I was in Nepal and definitely watched porn. The censor must have been terrible because I didn't even know it existed.

    So, yeah, tiktok won't be banned then.

  • Good opportunity for Nepali entrepreneurs to make a Nepali clone. Does one already exist?

  • That's the same with any copyleft project though. and we could just fork it if that happened

  • I did, but the article doesn't load. Unless OP posts NYT articles in the comments, then all some of us can do is guess..

  • NYT doesn't load without JS. Please paste article in the comments.

  • You dont know that tho. I have multiple lemmmy accounts. Most if them are anonymous, but when I post my own content, I use my real name.

    The only thing I use my "real name" Lemmy account for is self - promotion, but that doesn't mean I dont participate with other accounts.

    Folks have the right to anonymity.

  • Is there any GDPR like entity for greenwashing in the EU? Would love to see them get fined hundreds of millions of euros or 10% of their revenue, whichever is higher

  • And after your teaching them the difference? How many could differentiate then?

  • But wouldn't the reasonable conclusion at least be "wow these are big words and it says scientists wrote it; must be more trustworthy"

  • This. It depends on the source. Always consider the source.

    Even a video essay can be credible, if they cite their sources

  • Complerly agreed, except that YouTube has privacy issues if you know how to protect yourself.

    One of the reasons I love YouTube is that there's no authwall, and there's tons of alternative front ends... So it's completely anonymous

  • There are folks on YouTube that cite their sources. Don't ban the platform just because many of the uses suck.

  • Some would argue it's more accessible in video format. Personally I think it's best to write an article and then do a breif video summary that links to the article "for more info"

  • The only reason advertising was banned on reddit was so they could monetize. If the content is relevant to the community, I don't care if the person sharing it created it. I appreciate the submission.

    Let the votes decide the quality of the content.

  • They are not condemning Israel for the current assault on Gaza. They are condemning Israel for the settlements (which is a blatant war crime that has long been criticized by every country except Israel and the US iirc.

  • The settlements have always been recognized as illegal, but I guess its good to reaffirm it.

    Its a war crime to move a civilian population into a military occupied region. This crime has been ongoing for decades.

  • Citing it helps people understand the historical context when learning about what's actually going on there
