So will Labusas be banned?

[Squidwerd]

Wish we had the door locked.... I mean 2 members in the last year or so that post regularly

I mean this fellas... Its time to reconsider our posistion.

 

[nomad]

Just cancelled my Amazon Prime membership

Looking to move my google services elsewhere but that's not an easy one

Will be dumping my iPhone and Mac

Fuck all of them

Woa... Respect Lucky!!!

I tell everyone DONT BUY ME ANYTHING THROUGH AMAZON cos ill send it back. It is hard, but there are many online sites that cater to specific markets

Every dolllar you spend with Amazon is a vote for more of this shit cos voting is done wiht dollars not ballot slips

This site should be locked down members only not visible to the public.

Based on the climate today - that would be wise.

Woa!! +100 on that!

The witch hunts have started and they will make their way here

Good chance that labs will be shut down before EOY

Either by the hosting provider, or by authorities

The risk exposure to all is greatly elevated

 

[Squidwerd]

Shut the front door

Shutting the door is futile

Right now the web is buzzing with surveillance

Every keystroke is passing through machine learning algorithms, flags are being lit up

 

[fish_antlers]

Gar. Close the door bro. Anyone that needs to be here is already here.

 

[luckystrike]

Shutting the door to search engine indexers (as I suggested 2 or 3 board upgrades ago) is more effective

But, it's too late now

First they ban accounts. Then, they ban apps. Finally, they will block websites

I've been on the front door close for 10 years or so...

Mods failure

Damn straight

The liberal rank and file here on labs are toxic conservatives to the new Democrats

 

[Squidwerd]

Im down for a 100 a bucks to shut the door

 

[fish_antlers]

There is no logical reason to leave it open. The site doesn't depend on traffic or ad and traffic generated revenue. As best I can tell it isn't hunting for new members.

Mostly it is just old friends sharing private stories.

I honestly can't see a single reason it should be viewable to the public.

Convince me that I'm wrong.

I think we might be more attractive to prying eyes if we did shut the door. I imagine anyone stumbling on this place by accident or on purpose will see our drivel and quickly click away. It's a great big internet out there. I'd rather not give anyone reason to be curious. I can still discuss it with the pentaverate.

Not an emoji here to make it right

 

[fish_antlers]

Leave all the forums open, just close this part. Won't raise any suspicion. No one will know and no one will care. It is changing quickly out there.

We may see in the near future many new "members" looking for the real deal and a shot at the truth...

 

[roadczar]

How can you ban a forum? Or is labs on another platform i'm not aware of ?

Hosting services / servers, ISPs, internet gateways...

If this is a call to arms for a digital nazi moderator type... Im your guy!!!

Are we not already a band?

People or companies that own the cloud services are the people that will banned who ever they want.

You will no longer have control of your data and info.

Best thing to do now is find a web hosting website and server and services that is not owned by Amazon, google, Apple etc.

 

[BIggerDanno]

15 pages of "guest" currently browsing the site

 

[BIggerDanno]

That is ~300 current guests

Yep its horse shit

I think my main concern of late about this is that if the Pentaverate becomes legally responsible for what you monkeys post, there won't be a need to "ban" LABusas. LABusas will cease to be as the thought of having to lawyer up because of stupid shit that was posted by a member makes being an "owner" of this place highly unattractive. Currently, that's not a rule anywhere on the internet as far as I know, but if dear leader(s) decides Facebook or Twitter or anyone else can be held responsible for the idiotic shit their members post online, then so can we. That's when this goes away.

 

[fish_antlers]

I don't see a connection between the content being viewable to members only vs public as a liability legally. They are not related. If you have an issue force an agree to new terms of service. None of this is that hard. Seems odd to bring that up. I don't see how any of it is related, but 300 bots lurking the site and sniffing our shit should be a way bigger concern for everyone.

Not to those who hold the keys.. Yet again... Why is it such a big deal to force people to at least register...

If that is the concern, there are many ways to legally deal with that "risk".
The real question is who "owns" LAB and what is their role now the founder is gone? There is no legal precedent I know of for holding moderators legally responsible for site content. That would imply all of Wikipedias huge base of moderators are responsible for each article.

If the first warning shot from some govt spook agancy is going to cause this place to fold up, turn tail and run like squaking chickens, then put the rsponsibility with someone that will man up to the task and stand tall against US censorship. Its not hard.

This is 1st amendment issue. Its covered by the constitution.

 

[BigGar]

We'll just have to see nomad. You post as much stuff to draw the attention of dear leader as anyone. Will you be the first to send a fat check if we need to lawyer up at some point?

There's a way around that issue that involves a piece of paper but, I think around that time the smell of cordite and gunpowder will be more of a concern...

...for the lawyers.
