  • besch. Erkennungsrate

    Aha! Also müsste man ganz viele Kapseln nehmen, um das auszugleichen. Wenn das mit dem täglich Brot gehen würde, dann würde das absolut Sinn geben. Man hätte auch die Veränderung im Zeitverlauf im Blick. Natürlich würde man das mit KI auswerten.

    Ich denke, der Comic will das Gefühl ausdrücken, dass einem dieser neumodische Scheiß (höhö) völlig sinnlos und vage übergriffig aufgedrängt wird. Leider funktioniert das Szenario für mich einfach nicht.











  • Similar to copyright, enforcement requires surveillance and empowers censorship. But worse than copyright, it is directly aimed at information about people. So that is what gets surveilled and censored.

    Of course, there are positive uses, such as disappearing revenge porn. But in practice, it will always favor the rich and powerful who have the resources to actively manage their image. I don’t believe it is worth the massive surveillance and censorship apparatus, even before one gets to the obvious potential for misuse.

    Have you heard of the recent Russmedia case?


  • How did free speech help when the Nazis humiliated jews publicly in the 1930s?

    How did it help taking “jew-baiters” like Julius Streicher to court during the Weimar Republic? Obviously it didn’t.

    It seems obvious that I want the state to prevent hate speech, especially against minorities.

    You want the state to act against hate speech coming from the elected head of state. What about that seems like a good plan?

    You can’t convince people that Trump is a bad guy, and so you want the state to go after the bad guys. Maybe you can convince people that the state should smash bad guys. It’s not hard. But Trump is in charge of the state and not you. He’ll decide who’s a bad guy.








  • I was going to ramble on about Mediterranean history, but then realized, it was already not short.

    Have you ever heard of the 1961 Paris Massacre? It was a peaceful demonstration in a European capital. It ended with the police murdering dozens, maybe 100s.

    That puts the civil rights struggles in the USA at the time into quite a favorable context. But one shouldn’t view these events in France solely through the lens of colonialism or American racism, as the countries of southern Europe and northern Africa have Millennia of shared history. It is not like EG the European conquest of the Americas or the slave trade.

    Shipping is a very cheap means of transporting massive amounts of cargo (or troops). Currently, the Mediterranean divides Europe from Africa, but that is an anomaly. Historically, it has tied together the countries around the coast, for better or worse. The Roman Empire was based around that sea.

    Modern day Algeria was a regular part of France since 1848, like French Guyana today. Or like Hawaii is part of the US. But the inhabitants were very much second class citizens, which was justified through religion. Much of today’s (French) Islamophobia feeds from that history. But do not forget that other countries around the Mediterranean, as well as Russia, also have a history of war and oppression involving Islamic people.
