China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery and slave labor.

so, just like the united states when it suited them, no? do read about united states in nineteenth century once. oh, and: you do realise that slavery in some circumstances is still legal in the u.s.?

oh, typical techdirt eu-bashing, this time again because we have regulations.

(i wouldn't be surprised if they're conflating regulations with panic on purpose and packing valid criticism of llms and image plagiarism generators with the ridiculous tescreal screeds just to discredit the former; masnick's primary stance was always extreme tech libertarianism and american exceptionalism, and the whole publication follows this)

i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

i don't expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.

the aggrieved attitude of “but i am a socialist” is really adorable.

 

from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.

further reading in polish (but translates via google well): more technical and less technical, but with more political/economical details.
