The Land of the free sure likes taking away freedoms and banning stuff
People there have chosen that by voting republican. I mean, he told what he planned to do and got voted for anyway…
Freedom, but only for rich, white douchebags
That’s why I consider that tagline, ‘The Land of the Free,’ to be the failed punchline of a bad joke now. It hasn’t meant anything since before Reagan took office at least.
I don’t consider it valid so long as conscription exists, but now it’s an utter joke
China : Discovers Anti-gravity
USA : Law preventing study of anti-gravityGood luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Ah yes, the “free market” in action.
We are rotten to the core.
Awesome, so on top of all the other crap, like a economy that is going off a cliff, the US wants to actually get further behind on AI, just so that assman van make a few extra dollars
The paste does not go back in the tube…
They are afraid. Very afraid. Good.
Just try to stop me. Or anyone for that matter.
The “does it connect to the wifi” mfers came up with this one I’m sure.
Exactly.
We will just put Trump porn on the whitehouse.gov site to show you how little control America has over its digital economy.
I thought software and thus code was protected as free speech?
Free speech and expression is one of the many previously-thought-to-be-inalienable rights that are in the current administration’s crosshairs. If I could flee this country for, say, the Netherlands, I’d do so in a heartbeat, unfortunately I can’t.
The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights…
… like the right of shareholders to make money.
This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!! \s
Seriously tho it’s a bummer to see how many people here promote all this horseshit.
I’m surprised usually Hawley is pro running
This is running. It’s running away from competition.
Being open weights, if I, resident of Ijustmadeitupista n take it and make a very slight tweak, would it be OK for this rule?
And, if my pal from China takes a US open model and tweaks it to criticize CCP, will it be banned?
I honestly think politicians should think just a bit before trying to legislate things they clearly don’t understand.
I’d like to point out that it is only one single proposal. If this does not get shut down, then it is time to be worried. But for now, it might just be one glue-sniffing Congressperson sniffing the wrong kind of glue one morning.
It is a single proposal but maybe anybody with an extra terabyte sitting around might want to hold on to a copy
I already have every version downloaded on my nas, more cause I hate redownloading things and am a pack rat.
