Cloud-based web application platform Vercel is among the latest companies to find their servers blocked in Spain due to LaLiga’s ongoing IPTV anti-piracy campaign. In a statement, Vercel’s CEO and the company’s principal engineer slam “indiscriminate” blocking as an “unaccountable form of internet censorship” that has prevented legitimate customers from conducting their daily business.
I honestly don’t care. You guys continue to bring up political opinions as some sort of “slam dunk” against supporting something objectively. Supporting trump is obviously a bad move, but blocking internet services in a moronic attempt of “lets stop piracy!!!” is also bad.
Am I crazy for thinking this? Separating art from the artist, yeah? Seems like Lemmy has completely lost its fucking marbles. This has happened so many times.
I chose to stop supporting a fascist wannabe with my wallet and moved all of my sites to Render. Vercel shouldn’t be blocked with such a reckless move and LaLiga is wrong, but I’ve washed my hands of letting the other stuff slide.
No you aren’t, the tactic that @orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts And many others are using here is called Tu quoque and it is a logical fallacy.
