    In which case some rich cunt will patent it and nuke the internet of its details

      Good luck scrubbing anything off the internet with even a little social momentum. If people think its good enough to share, then it’s never fully getting scrubbed.

        Do you think there would be significant momentum behind someone posting what amounts to detailed patenting information?

        Presumably someone without a following that absolutely no one that runs any of the social momentum sites would want someone else to have?

      Tough to get a valid patent when the prior works were published publicly before you ever applied for it…

        Worst kind of poster, sees a ratioed a comment jumps in for an easy jab. If I’m wrong so be it but you added less than anyone to this thread. You could have corrected me but nothing was easier.

          It’s your burden to show when things like that happened. You just said a vague sentence while acting like you’re adding to the conversation.

          You weren’t.

        Sure its not, I am delghted for you that you can still see the fappening nudes but if you think for a second that US hosting companies will be allowed to host content that has been flagged under this procedure you ae dreaming.

        Its not conspiritorial to recognise things can be made very difficuly to find on the public facing web.

          US hosted companies

          Thats like saying you can’t sell drugs inside the police commissioners office. Yeah, everyone understands that, doofus. Nobody that wants to release information that a nation state level actor wants suppressed is going to do it within their borders.

            This is intentionally obtuse, how is something going to gain traction without being hosted on services that are answerable to the US before someone else were to patent it and start the process.

            Tell people down the pub and upload it to what? Pirate bay? Tiktok?

            It would be incredibly difficult, the law is ripe for abuse.
