Lmao. Just lmao.

Because, to do so, you’d have to first force the company to keep their internal copy of it archived, which you also can’t force them to do.

Of course you can. See documentation of business transactions for tax audits.

Also, it’s not like companies lose their code binaries while the game servers are still up and running. And it’s not like the code gets thrown out the window as soon as the servers go down or something.

Bro, you are both strawmanning the shit out of this and have no idea on what the fuck you’re talking about. You should stop eating corporate propaganda and be happy that there are people trying to work against corporate greed.

Aside from the fact it’s proprietary stuff they own… you can’t just mandate that a company must release stuff they own to the public. They own it, they can do whatever they want with it.

Wrong. Copyright, patent, trademark, etc law is time restricted. Biggest recent example is that even after decades of (successful) lobbying and corruption, Disney had to release Steamboat Willy into public domain.

What a coincidence. I saw Serious Sam on sale earlier today.

I personally like emblems, icons and heraldry on flags. Without them, flags are often enough just bars of colors.

I know about the alternatives. That wasn’t the question though.

Why can’t you just bring the reasons you think are important?

Vice versa for me tho

Care to elaborate? Like, why, maybe provide some resources, etc.

The difference is the number of athletes caught doping recently.

Look at the username. Downvote, report for spam, move on

With your sister? No kinkshaming, but that’s something different

Trans scientists inventing a gender that can has so little mass it can escape a black hole.

Could get on board with the latter.

Memes can be bad, agitating, stirring up shit, just like all other media.

IMHO you’re kinda right. There’s a trade war going on between the US and China, and data is damn valuable so it’s just logical to prevent the enemy access to your own citizens’ data, specially since we know how it’s used to manipulate elections (Russia’s been proven guilty of it for the 2016 US elections), but also Facebook was at least paid to do so.
Now I do agree with you in that the ban is probably due to the wrong reasons though. But it kinda doesn’t matter to me.

Yet I am not US citizen either, I’m an EU citizen, so my opinion on US politics ain’t quite relevant. I just wished we would do the same here in Europe and more consequently. Both the US and China do have laws that require companies to hand over there user data to their respective country’s agencies, which is technically illegal under GDPR for EU citizens’ data (they shouldn’t be able to leave the EU). So we should ban all social media that stores data on servers belonging to US or Chinese companies (leaving basically only fediverse instances on eyropean servers).
