That's what war is for and why it's so neat and legal. You can't "turn off " a nation. You can enslave a nation for the same purpose, "turning then off" so logically the the headline of this topic at that point is " should we begin to think about a state of autonomy for AI...?" since going to war/turning off seems impratcical, as we in general have no idea how this age of slave is outperforming us......

I don't see your point and you might be misrepresenting other points? If it were simply a matter of moving to another server on bluesky it would be a common solution. Also mastodon underlying platform allows a distributed backend for instances it seems allowing a level of autonomy. Then moving to another server includes the option of physically hosting your own which is further evidence of the distributed nature of the back end. Then of course the fact that Mastodon is based in Germany in my opinion makes that distributed nature feasible due to data handling laws? You cant do that on bluesky since it was developed to be based in the United States?

I'd really like to hear some law experts take over this topic and give the rest of us some direction. I see the issue like this though....... The obvious (?) solution of simply jumping to another instance is the philosophical solution to the problem. But, does this eliminate the reason for complying with the request in the first place? Decentralized platforms are still domains of tagged traffic so backbone networks with aggregate the traffic for the entire stack. Technically one instance is the same as another with no special privilege of autonomy in regards to hosting. So the saving policy to freedom of speech and anonymity is because the company is based in Germany in the case of Mastodon?

Back because we never left. The earliest concepts of opsec delineated user's created object history as the domain and responsibility of the local administrators. Calling it as a user "your" data is pretty much a joke. The same data exists on any number of proxies, routers, subdomains,...which they front-end while constantly creating new scripting languages just to facilitate "your" data being traded between the mirrors. So yea, for the most part refusing cookies actually has less of a positive impact than deleting your history before killing your browser session. Further, service providers own, market those mirror platforms and the sessions they spawn end to end by corporate privilege which were created to mock the entire idea of "your" data "your" session.

Comment But it WAS regulated...... (Score 1) 45

What became the Internet was created by the DoD to develop tools to use the Internet in a huge development cycle. Outside of that, regulation unfortunately means "turn you back, cover your ears while I do whatever I want and I'll have a present for you when you turn back around...." *says* corporate. My evidence is how little unsolicited freedom to use/develop/explore policies actually cane from the corporate entities.

Something new like changing a return type of a function given no other context? Or designing a new browser that doesn't use chromium with no other context? Two things that most people can't do while the second is something people refuse to do but im convinced an AI can do easily.....
