@kaniini the smaller regimes just block everything that doesn’t agree with dear leader anyways

@kaniini @emsenn and for the most part google complies with China because they want access to that market Capitalism will sell out freedoms for profit every time

@kaniini @emsenn China is gonna do that no matter what because it’s China. They aren’t gonna use blocking gab as precident because they are China and don’t need precident they just have to threaten to ban google if they don’t get their way

@kaniini @emsenn that’s a meaningless statement fascists are gonna show you the door no matter what the rules are

@kaniini @emsenn I still don’t and never will buy the argument that blocking nazis means you have to block dissidents. They only called for a gab block because gab is responsible for mass violence and the media put pressure on google

@kaniini @emsenn you can’t have fascists in a free society and it stay free. This goes for software ecosystems too.

@kaniini @emsenn there’s a false equivalency there. No fascists government is going to make you block fascist apps. Democratic nations like Germany might under their anti-nazi laws. Freedom 0 doesn’t take the paradox of tolerance into account

@dwc @Matter but I get what you mean, I’ll consider it

@dwc @Matter speech is an action

@Matter @dwc then they can buy a commercial license or face copyright and breach of contract claims, see the readme

@dwc @Matter Thats why ive been working on this https://github.com/Laurelai/anti-fascist-mit-license

@chara Well it also means that i can enforce my antifascist licence as a contract

And it looks to me like i can make my antifascist licence enforcable *as a contract* if it includes an option to buy a commercial licence for the software.

So reading over this. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/13/gnu_gpl_enforceable_contract/

@dwc Software, like everything in the world was never not political.

@guerrillarain Because they quietly support fascism
