De-anonymising social media : Comments

By Chris Whitfield, published 30/1/2020

Where possible, and as a matter of principle, it is better to expose social media to existing law and existing enforcement methods rather than introduce overspecialised specific legislation.

Social media does no harm to anyone except a few lame brains who take themselves too seriously and can't differentiate harmless waffle and real life. It is not compulsory. There is no need for pompous pontificating from people who think they have some deep insight into a non-problem.

Apart from the creation of a totalitarian state it is almost impossible to control social media.

Meanwhile check out the book titled The Shallows by Nicholas Carr and his Rough Type website too where he describes the all-the-way-down-the-line negative or culturally destructive results of social media.
And of course the easily most destructive user of social media is the Golden Haired GOLEM of "greatness", or the liar-in-chief that now infests the White House.

I tend to disagree with this control freak p control proposal. If we had a bill of irrevocable rights, maybe it could fly? But failing that it just steals our alleged right to free speech. As for CCTV monitoring its use?

Would only consider that if unbeatable space age lie detection was also covertly deployed and particularly when politicians are on their feet given vent to their election promises and reasons for decisions on expenditure.

Without question, the Chinee and Russians have sort this same sort of control to control the spread of information and the revealing of the literal truth/political wrong doing and political crime!

Almost every computer has a built-in camera and that could be activated remotely to identify miscreants, who will hardly ever be law-abiding Australians but offshore operators intent on spreading fake news/sowing dissent and division!?

And haven't they been successful at that!? As we attack each other and promote geed is good control!?

Personally, I'd be happy to be personally held to account for my opinions and shared facts!

But I wouldn't ask the same of other folk or mandate unbeatable space-age un lie detection supported online truth-telling, as that would destroy most political careers!

She swallowed a spider to catch the fly.

We invaded the windswept tenement, disarmed the occupant and made it public space. And now we complain about the lack of respect for oneanother.

We could go on and swallow a cat, and then a dog and so on.
Or we could quietly hand the old man back his rusty sword, respectfully vacate his house and repair the door on the way out.

Correction and apologies for autocorrect.

Un lie detection should just read lie detection. Grammarly has a habit o separating words and sentences to turn what I write into complete garbage. And has required me to junk it and rewrite again and again.

And unique elder abuse! ,

The Microsoft word I paid for and own for life is no longer mine or operational. All I need Is a seven-year-old password. And a lesson to be sure to write down these complex passwords and store them safely or tatoo them in mirror reverse on some part of your anatomy!

That said, would be if I paid a king's ransom for a new (Indian?) version? And the blackmail, word/sentence separation and repositioning,l tactics employed, it would seem, by Grammarly as their marketing method,l doesn't promote their business model, I believe.

Alan B,

I offer free support....

"All I need Is a seven-year-old password."

I suspect you mean the product key. Go here to find out how to get the product key for your version...http://www.lifewire.com/how-to-find-microsoft-office-product-keys-2625117

Alternatively ditch Microsoft and get one of the open source free programmes eg... http://www.openoffice.org/ It doesn't do everything the Microsoft programmes do, but I suspect it would cover all your needs. I use it.
