A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The problem is usually in the broadness of the definition. Less democratic regimes can easily use this to forbid material about opposing views and parties. Double-edged sword.
I think the problem is that social media has been used for great evil so an attempt to curb that is good.
At least it's a democratic body. Way better than Musk being in capricious control of deleting speech rights.
Cant less democratic regimes do that anyway?
