French #court blocks popular #porn site… #subdomain

As a result, the court ordered blocking of “fr.xhamster.com,” including the “fr.” prefix. This means internet service providers have complied with the order and blocked xHamster at the DNS level but only with the “fr.” prefix. So #xHamster remains accessible in France — until regulator, Arcom, finds a way to close this embarrassing loophole.

#Steam's new #disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your #games, #GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

So if the absence of #ownership on Steam isn't new, why the new message? My assumption is that it arises from recent pushback against game publishers ending support for online games, rendering them inoperable, and in some cases revoking the #licenses to those games outright. That too is nothing particularly new, but #Ubisoft broke the camel's back earlier this year when it ended services for The Crew and stripped the license from people who had purchased it. That sparked a "Stop Killing Games" consumer campaign and, more pointedly, a new #California #law that requires retailers to warn consumers that the digital games they buy can be taken away at any time—as this message does.

The main #problem in my eyes 👀 is that some people don't understand the difference between theory and fact or they know the difference but believe in alternative facts. You can't argument with someone who says, that he understands but don't feel the facts. For example climate crisis - "I don't feel the hottest year because it is cold at the moment." 🤪

The puzzles made visible through “fake news” are hard. They are socially and culturally hard. They force us to contend with how people construct knowledge and ideas, communicate with others and construct a society. They are also deeply messy, revealing divisions and fractures in beliefs and attitudes. And that means that they are not technically easy to build or implement. If we want technical solutions to complex socio-technical issues, we can’t simply throw it over the wall and tell companies to fix the broken parts of society that they made visible and helped magnify. We need to work together and build coalitions of groups who do not share the same political and social ideals to address the issues that we can all agree are broken.
