Nikki Haley vows to abolish anonymous social media accounts: ‘It’s a national security threat’::WPDE covers news, sports, weather, and local events in and around the Grand Strand, Pee Dee, and the Border Belt.
Ah yes, one step closer to a totalitarian state. Let’s go.
Fortunately it’s just empty, laughable rhetoric designed for Faceboomers who don’t understand the internet.
I pull uuuuuup
I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere
I looked it up, and it’s actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language’s feminine form of nimrod.
That could be close to the actual etymology. I believe “Nimrod” is the name of a person in the Bible.
I would love to see how the Trump base would try to pronounce her real name.
Such a move would lead to an increase in “civility,” Haley believes. “When they know their pastor, their family members can see it, it’s going to help our kids and it’s going to help our country," she said.
That’s what everyone said about posting next to your real name on Facebook. How did that turn out?
Pretty good, actually. It was nice of the traitors to upload pictures of themselves in the act on Jan 6.
I don’t have a pastor 😎
It’s telling that pastors are the first people she wants to see what people are saying. Got to keep those sinners in line.
Civility is code for “stop complaining about how we treat you”. Jesse Gender has a pretty good video about civility politics (2hrs 21mins): https://youtu.be/-1TL9id26Ec
Uh oh, social credit system coming from…the same people who bitched the loudest about the social credit system?
Always has been. I remember when the people losing their damn mind about drag were horrified at North Korea’s approved haircut list.
Ah yes, more of that American freedom I hear so much about as an American.
How will she round up all the minorities if they’re anonymous online?
She IS a minority.
So?
This is some 00s level politicians not understanding how the Internet works.
Oh fuck off, would ya?
Why even bother? It’s not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.
Terrible idea. Look, the nerds set up the internet and from the beginning never used their real names. There’s a reason for that.
So if these genius’ knew better, Hayley should learn from that.
“I’m an internet Originalist. What did the founding nerds think? That’s all that matters.”
I enjoy this take quite a lot and will be using it myself.
As long as you take the metaphor to its natural end. That is, to only apply that test when it’s convenient for you. Otherwise, ignore it completely.
🤦
The dumb part is this vow doesn’t even make sense on the face of it to protect national security.
National security is now anyone’s feelings about mean things.
Republican feelings. About anything really.
What insecure nation
The gop is a national security threat
So she wants reddit and youtube like platforms to be named individuals. Is she going to then go after all the forums that still exist? If so, I guess I’ll see you guys next in a Dialup BBS.
Don’t anybody tell her that the Fediverse exists. It might break her brain.
Can’t touch this 😎
This will help me afford a home! This will help me afford kids! This will make me feel safe at traffic stops! This will help my union at work! This will help our extreme temperature swings!
