RE: Germany Goes Full in on Internet Censorship

in #life7 years ago

It is obvious that law makers need to consult with developers and IT people in the industry to see what is plausible and doable before making laws of this nature.

Making laws about something you don't fully understand is silly. I'm sure they understand hate speech. What they don't understand is the realism of what would be involved in employing human staff to sit and read every comment and ban individual comments or users.

Artificial Intelligence is rudimentary at best. What the law requires is impossible.

Lex Non Cogit Ad Impossibilia

Translation: The law does not compel a man to do that which is impossible

Well in the case of companies, I don't think the law should compel them to do the impossible either.

Sort:  

also a very good point, but most of these politicians have long ago withdrawn from existing sense of reality or rational logic. It's all about maintaining and expanding their own power at the expense of everyone else.

It is a good point, but I think governments need the ilusion of control and power. It is not a question on technology.
