Not sure if this was on purpose, but it seemed quite appropriate
It's Lisa looking at a sign that reads:
"Keep Out"
"Or Enter. I'm a sign, not a cop."
Copyright and license laws for you, not for me. This is the biggest theft ever.
In theory, the law applies to everyone. In practice, it doesn't apply to rich entities.
I'm not from England, but damm this is absolutely terrible. England already has a LOT of cameras everywhere to track people. They work hard to try and track people everywhere. Hence why this is scary cause this might actually go through due to how anti-privacy they seem to be.
They do track a lot, for no real good reason either. Most of the cctv systems you see are blurry, especially at distance, storage of high quality video takes a lot of space and money I guess. It’s a crime deterrent at best but lately most criminals don’t really give a damn, you see wannabe gangsters riding around on bicycles or scooters with balaclavas on, so the real criminals can blend right in with the wannabes. Police presence only seems to exist when football is being played also. This joke of a country could do with a reset button, probably been that way for a long time.

Best can do drop the sun into parliament.
Uk really is one of the worst countries with regards to privacy. Always trying to pass some shit that enables them to spy on you. Last year they wanted backdoors in all messengers, now this.
Well, not worse, than eu.
How do you opt out for already created content in the past?
I'm fully down with this as long as any model that is trained on publicly accessible data follows these rules:
-
All media that is imported his cataloged, I want to know what's in the model
-
The weights are open
-
The model is made publicly available.
I am all for publicly available models.
Not interested enough to support corpo media please post it on peertube if you can. but from the headline: yikes! And I thought they were done with the most vile political idiocy.
eu also passed this law
