Introduction/Definition/etc

 

If you are citizen of

an European Union member nation,

you may not use this service

unless you are at least 16 years old.

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

PBWorks seems to have added this

as an alert/ or whatever

on top of the content of this site...

 

As an American Hosting company,

maybe they are required to,

but as far as I know

content should not  be limited,

one of the goals of the internet

was exchange of information,

PG-13, voluntary parental guidance

is recommended

as some of the content

may not be suitable

for younger ears/eyes, but

how to learn,

what to learn from and

other things,

might not be in the realm

of international law...

 

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

Regulatory information on why that is...

 

Enforcement

 

definition of the "service"

reading content

or creating content

given only open to myself,

not sure full service is meant,

or not

 

What Can Be Found?

 

Reasons to argue with the notice

 

And reasons why that would be a waste of time...

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

Easy, free/cheap legal counsel for resolving it...

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Hosting Company

 

EU privacy stuff with FaceBook

and other services,

on the international stage,

 

Content Creators

 

Readers

 

Vulnerable Populations

 

I don't want to have to read,

therefore looking for any reason

to burn the book/ destroy content,

and other reasons to limit liability

for those we don't generally care about,

so Go Figure...

 

Rights People

Fairly ironically, rights conflict,

readers rights/ vs content creator's rights

popularity may have something to do with it,

IDK, IMNSHO, so very unpopular stuff

may have more rights than popular stuff,

say Mien Kopft (????)  Some Hitler S,S,

propaganda, far more offensive, in retrospect

than most of what is up here,

Vs. The  BIble,

 in areas where the majority of people are not

christian, nor religious,

shelved under fiction, and popular fiction,

at that, blasphemy in a strict environment,

possibly humorous in a non totalitarian

state, so religion and politics weave their

wormy little ways into our lives,

whether we want it to or not,

but I digress,

and taking a nap,

sleeping much at all,

might be a good idea.

 

Late night/ early morning drivel

may not make the most sense,

editing in the am/ after some rest,

might be in order,

but might not,

free writing and not editing

thyself, is likely also prudent...

 

Maybe I said it,

but only to myself,

since privacy is lacking

in the modern digital world,

your emails could be made

public, even published,

given current ____

insert 18 minute gap here?

 

Freedom People

 

Given PBWorks, formerly PBWiki

is somewhat crippleware,

have to pay to get my full editing history,

maybe it is incompatible with freedom,

of the Richard M. Stallman variety,

so moving along before I die,

cannot connect, and lose data,

because of hosting restrictions,

and/or automagic backup system where

turn over to a fall back WikiPedia or simiilar

generic and more flexible hosting service

for archiving purposes..

 

 

Assumptions

 

.Com want to make money:

money in the post .bomb era is difficult

ads are not really good,

so hosting with ads worse than this,

currently???

 

Ubuntu Snap proprietary licensing

and the commercialization of things

starting out FREE, to be coopted to

NONFree, or variations of that,

are rather annoying, and possibly

illegal (IANAL) but violating

GPL? Version?

LGPL?
Perl Artistic License?

Creative Commons

 Non Commercial

 Non Derivative

etc...

Common Sense?

 

Minors

 

Not really pretending to speak for kids,

internationally, it would be difficult to

understand all the kids situations,

and country influences on them/it

so wonder how to even go about that?

Kids dying of starvation while some

pompus (sp?) ass bemoans

First World Problems?

 

Required reading in local and

international circles, and not a

wonder how safety of authors,

revenue stream and countermeasures

against stalking, harassment, attacks,

etc isn't part of the publishing and

other notoriety issues involved

in publishing...

 

 

Time Limits

 

EU may settle down

Brits may remove themselves

from the EU.

PBWorks may become international

and international law may catch up

with internet self publishing,

and other issues, far beyond

my pay grade, as some places say...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Indetermined at this point,

noticing the notice that popped up

and wondering about what it means,

for viewers, author(s), and other

concerned citizens, of the world...

 

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

What restrictions do you

think there should be on this?

 

On information in general?

 

On the people who give homework?

 

On content in general?

 

Should book burning be allowed on the internet?

 

What of freedom of speech,

in the digital age?

 

How does that differ from hate speech?

 

How do you manage disagreements?

Warfare?

Debate?

Endless whining?

peaceful resistance?
