>Here’s Why Trump Is Right About ‘Shutting Down’ Parts Of The Internet

>>51905915
See the "can't stump the trump" videos on Youtube (with all kinds of bizarre 4chan/Internet jokes, like characters smoking marijuana, insulting people freely etc.), which have been retweeted by Trump in person. He doesn't care about whatever you say online. He's a free trade guy, in his own words, and he wants you to even have guns to protect yourself.

In short, he will in no way "censor" the Internet. He will just hire the best American network engineers to figure out ways to combat terrorist proselytizing online.
>>
No it's not right

he has a point. who the fuck said fb, for example, must be a global service? i understand it is in its interest to predate every market they can, but as a US company its jurisdiction is US soil, unless they incorporate locally

if they wanted, they could just ban/block radical islam countries like syria, saudi arabia, france, sweden, etc and it will stop most recruitment

if they dont want to abandon those markets, they could rebrand themselves as a local social network and call it a day

Yeah it's bullshit but post an archive faggot. That's as clickbait and article as it gets; and its about the clickbait candidate.

They already do that. Most western countries including America can't access Al Qaeda et al.'s websites, bomb making wikis, and so on. There's already great firewalls but they're much harder to run into than China's.

It's insane to give the government authority and precedent to silence oppositional voices or things it sees as 'threats to public safety'. What might happen later on? Will they use it to silence /k/ and /pol/ if a Shillary type takes office? /g/ for using that terrorist operating system? He's using the whole think of the children bullshit. If you think you're worried about the NSA watching what you're doing now, it'll be a thousand times worse if Trump had his way. Even one catchy nasheed post might get you b& from the internet.

Well as the Patriot Act, and the NSA both have proven, there's absolutely no way this could be used to fuck over anyone but the people we hate, and not ourselves. Nope, you can trust politicians, judges, IRS agents, the media, spooks, pigs, etc. to do the right thing, and always look out for your best interests.

we have no real way of knowing who is and isn't a terrorist. the only practical way of guaranteeing that we can monitor all terrorists is by monitoring pretty much everyone, which is a widescale violation of the constitution.

Not even vaguely feasible. The author is clearly retarded. Does he think terrorists don't know how to use Tor? Has he never heard of a VPN? Does he really think ISIS couldn't have their buddies overseas run the website for them?

Go ahead and block all traffic to Syria. Now the ordinary citizens of Syria have no way of talking to people while ISIS and friends operate unimpeded. You have made it so ONLY terrorists can communicate. Good job.

>Now, all the internet service providers that together comprise the core of the internet are American.
Not really true. And even if it were, people would stop using them REALLY quickly if they started hijacking traffic. Indiscriminately redirecting all traffic to the NSA would be a great way to have no one ever trust American ISPs again.

Blocking it inside the country is one thing, but spying on foreign citizens would get people furious.

I don't doubt that some jihadis couldn't figure it out. After all, we've already had some morons give away their position through Twitter.

>>51905915Even if it does work (most probably I have no doubt Milo contacted Weev before writing that) doesn't mean you should. It sets a precidence that these things are OK and whilst in theory it is a fine way to stop ISIS which we almost unanimously agree is bad what is the government starts shutting down things that aren't so bad.Also this wont stop them from using the internet it will just force them to move onto TOR or something which is even harder to track.

I agree with Milo on a lot of stuff but his anti net neutrality and views about cesnoring the 'bad' guys go against my views on free speech.
>>
Then what can we do about ISIS?
>>
>>51905915

If you accept that Trump's clarification on the statement he made is genuine, then the next question is, where to draw the line and say too much of the traffic from a country is used for directly supporting criminal activity, such that the country should be disconnected from communicating with the outside world over the internet.

Surely, even for folks that are interested in preserving civil liberties to a maximum for all humans, there's a point at which a country becomes too much of a risk; unless you make such an extreme estimation that potentially censoring even a single comment constituting free speech sets an unacceptable precedent no matter what the consequences are as a result of all the rest of the communications from a given country.

the fact is that

b) they can route data on the phone lines like telecomix did or just get some israeli vpns
c) america controls this infrastructure because historically they've been "trustworthy enough". if they use internet access as a weapon of war then they demonstrate a specific threat to their rivals and motivate an alternative.
d) he presumes that ISIS runs its social media from syria.

I think you will find after all the back tracking and clarification he has done on what he originally said, is that what he want's done is basically what is already being done.

Why are people so upset about this? He clearly doesn't know how to word what he wants, which is taking down ISIS accounts on twitter and removing any ISIS sites. Yes they can always use something like Tor, no your freedoms aren't being violated anymore than they've been violated by the RIAA and MPAA doing the same shit with torrent sites.
People are just looking for a reason to hate Trump because they actually believe the mainstream media who paints him as a Mexican hating racist who hates women and wants to kill all muslims before becoming king. Even watching one of his speeches would show that narrative is bullshit.
>>
>>51909979
>b) they can route data on the phone lines
What phone lines? Do you think obvious communication lines are going to be left open if the US formally goes to war with ISIS, especially under Trump? Cutting off your enemy's communication is one of the most basic tactics there is.

If you start trying to import a bunch of German, French, Italian, or even more Spaniards (European Spaniards are six times as likely to be sodomites, Democrats and Catholics than the "normal" Mexican variety; 666 = Mark of the Beast!) into the US to help you destroy it, and raise taxes, Jesus isn't going to like it one bit, this I assure you, faggot.

He said people use free speech as an excuse, which they do. ISIS is our enemy. Trying to protect their unalienable rights while going to war with them is completely silly.

Actually don't waste your time, because I clearly didn't. You however are willfully ignoring that there are plenty of bullshit laws already in place which have been used plenty of times to take down other sites. Megaupload is one example, all the domains ICE seized being other examples.

So are you actually going to try to argue or are you going to keep avoiding the points? The laws exist whether you like them or not. Why shouldn't they be used for something good instead of the corporate shilling they were created for? You don't need to support them to support using them.

>>51914728
What about their right to free speech? Religion? Owning guns? How about their right to life? We are violating ALL of those by going to war with them.

I choose not to involve politics into /g/.
But fascism has been under an unfortunate strawman for a long period of time now. (I must admit, just as communism has). But it's not simple, because there are many different types of fascism that run at parrallel to the root word.
It is better defined as explicitly "for the good and the health of the people". As in capability, not equality, not liberty, but ability. Almost a meritocracy of sorts.
There is a belief that only equality and liberty can be achieved after ability. And that the only way to retain the maximization of liberty, is through an eternal fascism. While you won't have a maximum amount of liberty, it will be less likley to be corrupted.

This is a very long discussion to be had. But if you're interested in reactionary reading try out this book. He isn't a fascist either.

I'll just remind you that NSA hadn't find anything of value related to the terrorism. And that's 2014, with ISIS and whatnot. Why so? They weren't looking, obviously. They were spying on citizens.

Censorship and mass espionage is NOT a good way to fight terrorism, proper investigative effort is. You've got to use field agents, you've got to check all available info seriously, not just "hurr durr let's gather Big Data and analyze the shit out of everyone's online trends" crap. God, Tsarnaevs were even reported by Russia as likely terrorists, but US intelligence dismissed it without much thought. This is what should be worked on, bot more regulations in the Internet.

Only proportionally, but that still ignores the WHY they're being shot more often. Blacks tend to live in far worse economic situations and have far more run ins with the police than other races proportionally.

A lot of that is due to all our manufacturing jobs leaving the country. Look at Detroit for the best example of this.

He's only saying it to appease the masses in the hopes of getting elected. He might be able to temporarily hold back the tide but really we need to prepare for this automated future and electing fools like trump is the exact opposite of what should happen.

I don't think it's a non-issue. Sure. Blacks are disproportionately likely to become criminals. That, along with the issues of race and policing, are part of the very complicated issue of race in America.

You are trying to focus on to one area when all of these things are connected.

You have no idea what's coming.

Your opinion is still in the majority because most people aren't informed about the coming trend of technology. But that's all about to change because McDonald's is not only testing out self serve ordering screens in various joints, but they're also testing out their new machines to quite literally make all the food without human intervention.

Robotic automation will replace most low skill labor within the next 10-20 years and no one is addressing this.

Why shouldn't we care about creating jobs right now? That sort of automation is years or even decades away from being cheaper than human labor.

I literally said that police killings of blacks is a symptom of a much larger issue. Please re-read my post.

They're not racist in intention but their actions are enforcing racial divides. Groups like BLM are playing right into the hands of those who would enslave us.

Is there any discussion on how automation could potentially help? e.g. if one area is "automated" how could it open jobs for human workers in another area?

You are saying it is a non-issue but I disagree.

>Why shouldn't we care about creating jobs right now? That sort of automation is years or even decades away from being cheaper than human labor.

Because when it is your society will not be prepared due to regressive policies and will be left behind by the rest of the world.

The shift will be gradual, but if we do not prepare we are going to end up with a truly horrendous societal structure. Think massive underclass.

>>51917481
I don't think you understand business at all. We have had the technology to replace cashiers completely for a while, but we haven't. You know why? It's too expensive compared to just hiring someone. On top of that people would have to get used to the new system (drives away older people) and you'd have to hire lots of people who actually have skills to maintain the machines when they break and malfunction. As long as the costs of hiring a human remain lower than the cost of replacing them then humans will still be doing jobs.
Maybe in 20 years we'll see the start of it, but for many jobs it will be a nonissue.
If anything it's just more reason to bring back manufacturing jobs which aren't as easy to fully automate.

Honestly, EU should just cut all trade ties with the US already. Shit's too fucking retarded.

The only jobs that are safe are ones that require imaginative thinking and design. Beyond that even most white collar office jobs will be stripped away by artificial intelligence. Those people will be left out in the streets along with the blue collar job seekers.

Oh? And how do you figure we fix this issue that will exist decades from now? I'd be willing to bet most jobs will still be here 30 years from now, especially the skilled ones.

>>51917540
The idea that police are targeting blacks to kill is completely and utterly false. There is a problem with police killing people in general, but it's not just blacks. The reason blacks are killed by police in greater proportional numbers is because they tend to get in trouble with the law more often. The core of the issue is why that's the case. BLM ignores it however.

You really think it costs roughly $10,000 (minimum wage annual salary) for one of those touch screens? lol.

Yup, their job is safe among others as well, but those aren't blue collar warehouse jobs either.

I'm sorry, but you are deluded, the writing is on the wall. The moment companies can replace humans they will, they are not guided by emotion or a sense of obligation, just profit.

We're not even far away from having driverless cars, a far more complex problem than taking orders in mcdonalds.

When self driving cars reach critical mass several things will have happened.

>no taxiing jobs
>no haul jobs
>cars as a service will slowly kill off the sales jobs.
>no more bus drivers

This will leave millions unemployed, and it's already begun.
>>
>>51917681
Unskilled workers make up the majority of workers.

When the majority is starving and homeless, do you think they'll just lay down and die?

No, they'll riot.

Better to be defensive than reactive. That's how nations are made and unmade. We need laws in place now so the damage is never done to society in the first place.

Funny you mention that, because Google just announced they're opening up a new business designed for a driverless taxi service.

Let's see, you'd have to lay tons of people off (huge PR nightmare, also the logistics takes time and therefore money), hire contractors to install the machines, the cost of buying and shipping those machines (and the logistics of knowing what to ship where), the costs of downtimes associated with the conversion, having to hire skilled people who know how to service the machines (That alone is what, a $40k salary job at the very least? Probably more like $50-$60k) and then you'd have to deal with the lost customers due to luddite boomers hating anything computers. That's a very simplified list of things you'd have to deal with to get rid of cashiers. It's simply not worth the investment.

>Yup, their job is safe among others as well, but those aren't blue collar warehouse jobs either.
What's your point?
>>
>>51917722
>The moment companies can replace humans they will
Then why are there still human cashiers at Walmart alongside the automated checkouts?

>they are not guided by emotion or a sense of obligation, just profit.
See >>51917792
Like I said multiple times, the costs associated with converting to a completely automated PoS are not worth the investment. It's cheaper and easier to just hire actual human beings.

>When self driving cars reach critical mass several things will have happened.
>>no taxiing jobs
>>no haul jobs
Again you assume just because the technology is there that they will instantly switch, which isn't how it works.

>>51917753
You're reacting to it right now. It's not science fiction, it's just reality. There's no reason to blow it out of proportion though.
>>
>>51917792
Most of those problems can be dealt by simply not trying to do the switch overnight but rolling it out gradually.
>>
>>51917985
That'd just spread out the costs though. But it really doesn't matter, because the fact is that automation isn't anywhere near replacing most no skill jobs. When it becomes a real threat it will naturally work its way up the political ladder.

Different guy, but he's right that they don't necessarily have a moral obligation to keep away from automating if it increases profits. The free market will dictate whatever makes the most sense to each individual company. For some that will be a gradual shift to automation, while for others they might not change much at all.

Either way, it isn't the position of a government to be worrying about problems like this. You can't legislate job creation. Smart people will survive and adapt. Others will move elsewhere or probably go on welfare.
