Sure! What’s the name? Your comment cut off after “instance”.

Like zip or mov. Don’t buy those. Any smart person and corporation already has those blanket banned.

I can’t open that link because I block .zip domains lol

Perhaps the military should have a system in place to not allow emails to be sent outside of very specific TLDs if it’s that sensitive? And perhaps have an automated contact book, instead of relying on someone typing out the to: address manually to be able to make that mistake in the first place?

Seems like some very basic security measures for something so serious.

Actually really huge security threats. It’s a very good idea to block them. I especially did because my girlfriend works for the government and does some secret stuff that can’t really get out, and she deals with a ton of real .zip files. I think everyone regardless of who they are should make sure to block them.

Damn, lemmy.zip, eh? If that instance is public, I don’t see that being a good thing.

Tons of businesses, people, etc, are all banning .zip and .mov TLDs for security purposes. I’ve personally banned all those domains from my network as well.

Bold move.

That’s not true. There are both native and web apps that do this.

Your app is the best. Hoping for volume button for comment navigation to be added one day, and then its basically perfect!

“Reposting” as in linking to their content? Most other companies pay Google for that service.

Google has apps that rehost content instead of linking to it. Also, many people only view the headline or the brief description, driving views away completely.

How are those companies going to drive views to their site? Do you think Microsoft and Meta are going to play ball? They aren’t. Do you expect Lemmy instances to pay whenever someone uploads a Canadian news article?

Like I said, search engines rely on content to work. You can already request your website be removed from Google, and prevent it from ever being crawled again. Imagine if everyone did this, Google would literally be useless. Google needs content to work. Google shows ads in their search engine, so they are getting paid by simply linking to your website.

Who said Meta and Microsoft wont play ball? Who said Lemmy is going to have to, is Lemmy a search engine? You’re losing the point.

Our country is a literal South Park meme right now. We’re just waiting on the bubble gum and Bennigans coupons.

Ya, because people like you are okay with Google censoring and blocking news to Canadians for… some reason? Not sure why.

This is borderline fascist legislation. Restricting the flow of information on the internet so that Canadians are forced to turn to traditional mainstream media for their news. It was never about money.

Oh, there’s the south park coming out. It’s clear you’ve never created content online. What Google is doing is wrong, and Canadian journalists aren’t wrong for wanting to be paid for views that are taken away. It’s quite literally Google that is restricting the flow of information, so not sure why you’re blaming Canada.

All Google needs to do is pay pennies per click, just like they do with everything else. They are being a greedy American company who will slowly learn that they can’t treat the rest of the world like they do Americans. Look how great Google is. https://youtu.be/cA_cJAFF8Ss

Right. Which isn’t DDG wrongdoing. I’m not going to give DDG a strike for being caught in the crossfire.

I’m already only using the basic necessities from Microsoft because they are a shit company, just like the rest lol.

But we will also see what Microsoft does. They may comply and make Google look even more childish.

I switched to duck duck go a year ago and honestly I get my news quicker and more reliably from Lemmy, TikTok, and previously Reddit.

It’s actually scary how much I see from 50 different angles on TikTok before any news outlet even covers it, if even. Saw a stabbing in Toronto from multiple angles a few HOURS before I even seen an article about it.

I know Lemmy hates TikTok, but can’t deny it’s great for being up to date ASAP when it comes to news. At least for right now.

Excuse me. Canada is gaining like 100K new people per day. That’s 41 mili… 42 m… 45 million to you!

Don’t care. Google is also being a baby and blocking Canadians from Canadian news.

Perhaps we should all move away from Google? They clearly can’t be trusted when their response to pay Canadian journalists for rehosting their content is “nah, we instead are going to block Canadian news”.

I don’t think it’s unfair to pay someone when you’re rehosting their stuff or driving away clicks by giving an article summary. Especially when there’s no Google without links. Just like Reddit doesn’t work without users submitting content. Not to mention it’s bold to play this game when there are plenty of Google alternatives now.

Feel sorry for them.

My parents have starlink. Muskrat raised the price less than 1 month after them having it. Then over the next couple months, rolled out a data limit of 1TB per month.

Their speeds also went from 250mbps down and 50mbps up to 10-15mbps down and 5mbps up.

They currently pay $150 per month for bottom of the barrel shit internet that drops signal multiple times per day. When they contacted support, support blamed it on third party routers, despite them using 100% starlink hardware.

Enjoy that, Mongolia.
