@benpate So what they are building is actually a way to later enforce censorship of a decentralized network by state actors.

@phnt @benpate this is a bullshit conspiracy theory because governments don't care if something is technically enforcable when they push law that hurts small internet communities

@mkljczk @benpate EU is invested in Mastodon and has been for years. I don't see any reasons why they wouldn't use that as a vehicle to push their way of control over social media, which they likely already want considering the arrests over making fun of politicians in Germany.

Before you could realistically push back against it and argue that it is unfeasible to do on the Fediverse. Now you won't be able to, because they paid for it to be implemented.

Of course this isn't limited to only EU, it's just an example. US or any other state/government could abuse this.

@mkljczk @benpate It's the same way I see IFTAS being heavily pushed, which is just a trojan horse for centralizing moderation. Before IFTAS you could argue that centralizing moderation on this network wasn't doable properly, now with IFTAS being an aggregator and FASPs in the works for blocklist syncing, this cannot be argued against like that.

@phnt @benpate looks more like someone’s good at writing grant applications. i’d be all for some pleroma dev getting a portion of that €614k for an MRF that just fetches rules from remote API lol

@mkljczk @benpate Well, you gotta first implement FASP support in Pleroma and wedge it somewhere. If it was something like fetch API -> done, that would be too easy :D
