What about people with cognitive disabilities? What about people with mobility challenge? What about blind people?

It's telling you think trying to help minorities is eroding "our" rights. Us and who?

Nothing. I'm referring to be your standard ceramic one-seater. Girls need pee toilets too you see, or at least I'm yet to know of a women's urinal which women actually want to use.

Agreed. Humanity is already dead to me, as it were. I've seen it once, and it was enough.

Good idea, but I don't know how you stop people pooping in the pee toilets.

People are increasingly relatively poor within their own societies particularly compared to the wealthy and ultra wealthy increasingly visible on the internet.

Charismatic autocrats have done a good job falsly directing blame for this to socialists. It's maddening to behold people basically cheering for their own chains.

Using the block chain is completely unnecessary though, so they've clearly got a money making angle.

If it isn't open source and non-profit, it won't work. ICANN for example could integrate it into what they do. Only then could it be part of internet regulations fairly.

That is what I mean yeah. Regulation and strong institutions to uphold the rules.

I somewhat vindictively hope it's every bit as bad as predicted this time, less actual nuclear war of course. But enough so that there's just no way any amount of social media shadow fails to prevent daylight getting through.

Next time we have progressive leaders there needs to be done what the tech bros and oligharchs feared: proper regulation of social media as journalistic organisations unless they e.g. remove algorithmic sorting, and take steps to remove anonymity.

My idea is you could have avatars/pseudonyms linked to a third party open source identification API which uses encryption keys. It doesn't reveal who you are to law enforcement (no one would want to use that) but it does reveal you are the same person regardless of your pseudonym if you get up to naughty business, leading to your reputation going with you to any participating platform.

I dunno man, rhetoric like that. Doesn't sound like you'll be the most easy person to share this earth with either. Better to figure out another way forward them encouraging civil war, no?

A scary possibility indeed!
