Null 🥝 Joshua Moon Megathread

[Tom Homan's Alien Removals]

I honestly don't see Casey Putch becoming a contestant in the Ohio governor race. To me Casey Putch screams meme candidate that the Internet will shill for a while and then forget about when they inevitably lose.

We've seen this before with past meme candidates that were shilled by the most unhinged corners of the Internet but they failed to gain any power where afterwards people quickly forget about them later on. Two examples I can think of are Patrick Little where he is a failed Republican candidate from California that ran on a Neo-Nazi platform (he lost badly to establishment Republicans in his bid to become a U.S. senator) and Andrew Yang where he is a failed Democratic candidate from New York state that promoted Universal Basic Income as his platform pitch during the 2020 presidential election (he would ditch the Democrats and start his own third-party called the 'Forward Party' that is going nowhere). Hardly anyone really remembers Patrick Little and Andrew Yang anymore, they got their five minutes of fame and now they're hasbeens.

I doubt the average Ohioan even knows who Casey Putch is at this point and Jersh is probably wasting everyone's time with a meme candidate that probably won't go anywhere. Even news media (including right-wing news media) doesn't really consider Casey Putch to be a serious candidate and they consider him an afterthought. So it's probably going to be another failed venture by Jersh in a sad attempt to put Kiwi Farms as a household name.

Also, even though I have my own objections towards Trump, I will give Trump the rare Ws where his administration have not only reclassified marijuana from a schedule 1 to a schedule 3 drug (something that should have been done years ago) but his administration is also going to sanction the moralfags from Europe that are pushing for censorship on Americans (and I assume this will be expanded to other developed countries outside of Europe that moralfag over America as well). Fuck Europe and if you ask me, any asshole that wants to implement censorship over subjective reasons simply have no place in the Western world and they can fuck off to Iran or North Korea for all I care (because free speech is one of the founding pillars of Western civilization in the first place).

So when it comes to Trump for those two things, a W is a W so I'll give credit where credit is due.

it's funny, because hate speech and obscenity are two sides of the same subjective censorship coin.

Josh is seething and spotlighting random people he doesn't like to his users for the holidays.

The guy was making fun of Casey for his terrible video. This is what Josh was seething at.

The only thing that really needs to be clamped down on is doxxing due to the IRL harm wannabe vigilantes can do. Though a better example for harassment would actually be the Sharty.

I actually read this thing Josh is crying about and it is essentially an analysis of Josh's own actions to stay resilient. There are even some good things in here that Josh missed or didn't read because he uses AI to summarize things for him because it is the Holiday and he has no time for anything besides seething at Indians. He claims to want more transparency... right?

CDNs sit uncomfortably within existing legal categories. CDNs often stress that they do not control the content they help deliver.

When Cloudflare dropped Kiwifarms, pressure shifted downwards to transit and Tier-1 providers that had previously operated quietly in the background, and while some of those providers appear to have blocked routes associated with Kiwifarms, others did not. Some of the providers who acted also eventually reversed their decisions: Null explicitly asked Kiwifarms users who were customers to complain, underscoring that informal pressure campaigns can go both ways.

If these actors are going to be drawn into content moderation, policy frameworks need to recognise that explicitly. That could include transparency about when and why traffic to particular networks is blocked, basic due process standards when connectivity is restricted, and clarity about the legal obligations of backbone (‘mere conduit’) providers. Without such measures, there is a risk of pushing governance into opaque infrastructural domains or of making governance decisions based on who shouts the loudest, raising concerns about accountability and procedural fairness.

Recognising CDNs and large DDoS-mitigation providers as critical infrastructure, with associated resilience and transparency obligations, would be one way to align regulation with their real role. It would also make it easier to consider how to address the small number of sites that deliberately opt out and attempt to harden themselves.
