Agreed. Too much politics. I started my own communities for things I'm interested in and I recommend you try that.

Starting a wildfire is arson and criminal, the only thing that guy should get is jail. You'll get hired as a fireman because you're entrusted to protect the community and as a thank you, the community will pay you back. Does that make sense?

Doesn't mean capitalism is bad. Google has a search monoply, there are plenty of other search engines but how can they compete.

I agree the situation looks dire but it’s important people understand what’s going on.

Reddit actively removes posts mentioning lemmy. And google specifically pushes posts from reddit. It’s gonna be an uphill battle but slow and steady will win the race. the more valuable content that gets posted here the stronger lemmy gets. One thing hurting is a good native app for lemmy.

There will be a SECU Committee meeting on C-22 later today, where the committee will be performing a clause by clause review of Bill C-22, and voting on amendments. It may be the final meeting. You can watch it live by clicking the "Watch on ParlVu" button on the meeting notice page: https://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/SECU/meetin... Direct link to the upcoming live ParlVu video: https://parlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrows...

After bill C-22 leaves the SECU Committee, it will be sent to the House of Commons for the third reading and a final vote before being sent to the Senate.

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can also use the following tools to message your MP:

• The Internet Society's tool: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/kee...

• OpenMedia's messaging tool: https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1

• ICLM's messaging tool: https://iclmg.ca/stop-c-22/

You can also email Gary Anandasangaree (gary.anand@parl.gc.ca), Marc Carney (mark.carney@parl.gc.ca), and Sean Fraser (sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca), and tell them that any weakening of encryption or suspicionless retention of metadata is unacceptable.

Hi everyone, I think it's important for all of us to stand together on this issue. The internet is a place for everyone to gather and share ideas, and to create something positive for everyone. With this new power, the government will be able to spy and feed your life into AI systems in the future. Therefore creating a sort of "thought police" of the future. This is one step of many to control the population, don't think this will end here. I will also warn people, if you can help it, never use your real name or share your political opinions online, because it can be weaponized against you in the future.

Thanks, but I stopped working on it.

Thanks, I started this to get peoples perspectives. I've had much better experiences in other places, so no need to feel bad.

The FBI just wants the public to think their phone is secure. I got news for you, it's not secure. Look up Snowden.

Another logical fallacy. I hope these criminals get caught. Have a good day.
