No, thanks to the people who elected Trump. This isn't going away when Trump dies.

Trying to legislate the world to go back to the way it was in 2023 probably isn't going to work any better than DRM does.

Guess we'll see, then. I suspect the result is going to be a bunch of websites going "huh? Where did all our traffic suddenly disappear to?"

Also Moonshot, Alibaba, Baidu. Can they also be reined in?

It doesn't matter who invented DRM. My point is that DRM fundamentally doesn't work. If you pubish a web page in a manner that allows humans to read it then it's also readable by AIs. A pinkie-promise not to is the best you can get.

And they may also want a magical unicorn for a pet. Simply wanting a thing doesn't conjure it into existence.

They want the same thing that people who want DRM want - a way to show their content to a viewer without that viewer being able to copy what they're seeing. It's just as impossible either way. As with DRM there may be tricks one can come up with to hinder it temporarily under some circumstances, but fundamentally data is data. If someone can see it then someone can copy it.

Because GitHub arbitrarily removes projects it's okay if Codeberg does too? "They're the same as GitHub" is not actually a great point in their favor.

It'll also be a great way to take down projects you don't like. Just accuse them of witchcraft.

The speech didn't land, so he's trying to forget about it and go on to the next distraction.

Also, is he continuing to glue more gold crap to the wall behind him?

“We’ve been clear about what we want,” said Cloudflare chief strategy officer Stephanie Cohen. “We want a technical solution that allows you to be discoverable without having to give your content away for free.”

Sounds like they want DRM,

Trump has this utterly fundamental belief that you're either a "winner" or a "loser." The moment you give something they want, that makes them the winner and therefore you are the loser. He doesn't care about the numbers, he just cares about whether he's winning.

There actually was a live action Robocop TV series decades ago. Only ran one season but I remember it being rather good.

Yeah. They'll be out there in the rest of the world, which Americans can get them from.

Unless they want to go full authoritarian and close down their Internet with their own version of the Great Firewall, I guess. That would be ironic.
