Replace Hollywood/Disney with Twitch and nothing is different.

You still need to get lucky to be famous on Twitch (or Youtube) for your distribution channel and have enough influence that whatever you make, people will care about it.

Also they don't own their audience in this case, Twitch does.

Having 1000+ services seems like an overkill for an ecommerce company. I certainly hope they aren't doing something silly like a service for each payment type or a service to manage inventory and another service to manage orders.

2010-2012 Tumblr was truly a magical experience. It wasn't a social media for your real life friends or news, it was just a place for fandoms to share tons of gifs. And there was a lot of creativity once people started sharing their own art as well.

It's such a shame that we probably won't have another website like this again. I guess some of that stuff has moved to Discord now or sub-communities within Twitter, Reddit, etc but it's just not the same.

None of this sounds good for individual liberty. It just becomes an issue of are you lucky enough to live in a state that doesn't hate you

And if the people choose to vote to limit individual liberty of others then this decision is still good for individual liberty?

Making it easier for states to ban abortion is good for individual liberty?

I never claimed the entire protest is illegal. I'm just trying to question the notion that in Canada when you protest and despite how disruptive you are, the Canadian police can't touch you or stop you without invoking emergency laws. I haven't seen it in recent history so I wonder why it's the case now.

Right so then let's continue the thought process. You are saying under Canadian laws, if a group of people are protesting, they can break whatever laws they want within the context of the protest and the police can't do anything? And if we look historically within Canada, we will see that this holds true? That the police never shut down any protest without emergency laws being enabled?

>The police couldn't touch the protest for weeks not because of inaction but because your right to protest is a human right. They required the national emergency to remove our right to protest in order to label the protest illegal.

So you are saying under Canadian law, if you protest and do something illegal like blocking roads, destroying property, etc then Canadian police can't do anything? So if I go back in history and look at other protests in Canada like the ones against the pipelines for example, then I will see that the police didn't act against them?

For now yes, but I would say it's really meant as replacement for Instagram rather than Facebook. So videos only seems fine compared to a service that was primarily for pictures.

They can always expand, but I feel like these social media services usually have a hard time pivoting to a different medium after their initial success.

I assume none of the existing regulations or laws that involve public companies apply to DAOs? Like can you pool the money and then do nothing or go against what was agreed upon?

How is fraud handled in this case? Name and address is relatively easily accessible public info. Do they notify the person that there is an invoice against them before they ship the product?

Are there big issues with the current system that exists today to prove ownership of a property you bought? Is real estate fraud common enough?

I never went through buying property before so I honestly don't know, but most of the people I know just hired a lawyer and got it done and it was never a thing they had to think about afterward.

What problem was "real estate on the blockchain" trying to solve?

Out of curiosity, is your customdomain in this case something without any personal info on it? I have a custom domain with my first name and last name initial .com, but now I'm thinking if I want this setup, maybe it's better off getting a domain with random words so even if email leaks, no personal data is leaked.
