If they want to air on the safe side, as they appear to here, they can just auto-approve any takedown request. Just as robust a legal protection, while still allowing more content to be online.

So the images, video, etc isn't cached here, it's just text and links? Sites generally aren't liable for what is on the other side of links, they just have to remove the link if they are notified by the copyright holder that it's infringing their rights.

I feel like there should be a major distinction between caching remote content and hosting that content yourself. Does Cloudflare get in trouble every time the FBI seizes a site that used Cloudflare routing, CDN, or caching? Not as far as I'm aware.

But the content in question isn't hosted on lemmy.world..?

I don't understand how lemmy world has removed them, aren't those all communities on different servers? How is this our problem?

The data simply does not support that hypothesis.

The majority of degrees are in valuable and complex fields, the meme of everyone getting degrees in underwater basket weaving are not based in reality.

I would argue though that the borrowers were not dumb. An entire generation of people told them "you have to do whatever it takes to go to college so you can get a good job" - that was a lie, and the people who told the lie should be the ones punished. The kids who trusted their parents, teachers, and government about this didn't do anything wrong.

They'd have to change the law Biden personally made that prevents student loans from being removed in bankruptcy proceedings.

That would also fuck millions of American's credit and lead to all kinds of problems in the economy. Letting everyone go bankrupt is not an acceptable government solution, they need to do something better.

Because then someone else would be able to control and censor their content. Really every business should make their own server to ensure that they're the ones fully in control of their content - this is the entire point of federation.

what did these protests change so far?

They pushed people to other platforms.

But we don't live directly on top of the ground; we live 5 or 6 feet above the ground, and thus air temperature is much more important to understanding heat impacts to human health and well-being.

Here's an article talking about the types of temperature measurements. If LST is high, odds are air temperature will be high to, and air temp is much more relevant to our life as a human, whether we're going to die, and easy to compare to how hot it is locally.

Yeah, it's confusing and unhelpful. People should standardize on reporting air temperature unless there's a very specific and compelling reason not to.
