Is there ANYTHING you can do on a computer that's actually legal?

submitted by Vulptex from (self.conspiracy)

You can barely turn one on without breaking the law. Everything violates some kind of abuse law, copyright law, social safety law, and there just nothing that isn't illegal. And 95% of it is not only illegal but a FELONY.

Using software in any way different than the sellers want you to use it is a serious felony. Using public wi-fi is illegal. Connecting to the internet (yes, even browsing it) if you're under 13 is illegal (and I think now it's 18). Using Google Images and YouTube is a serious felony because everything on them violates some crazy law. Even being on here with anonymous usernames is illegal according to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Writing "disturbing material" is illegal. Memes are a felony. It would seem the digital world is exempt from all constitutional protections. And the authorities consider these outrageous technicalities more serious than first degree murder.

I can't think of anything you're actually allowed to do with technology. Everything comes with the threat of going to jail for 5 years and having everything seized from you. It's an art to even look at a device without breaking the law.

The average citizen is said to commit 3 felonies per day. The average person using technology commits about 3,000,000 felonies per nanosecond. And in this day and age technology is unavoidable. How are we supposed to obey the law when it's quite literally impossible to do so?

Alright not trying to be an asshole here but I would really recommend you ask your doctor about getting evaluated for schizophrenia, especially if you are in your early 20s. Your posts have gotten more and more unhinged and strange over this past year to the point where you sound completely divorced from reality.

Maybe, but this isn't one of them. It's a well-known problem.

Also, I've only been using saidit a lot for about a year.

One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

The laws are set up to where everyone is always guilty and it's just a matter of pissing the wrong people off and they'll pull your card. Sad reality, but it's also easy to not piss the wrong people off, so there's that. Just say nice things about politicians and Jewish people and you'll be fine.

This is a fitting post when I currently have 1984 post karma.

There's this website. There's my Grateful Dead mp3s. There's e-mail. What else do we need?

I know what you're saying. But maybe the best way to fight this is to carefully disengage from the internet a little. Not totally, just enough to make life more enjoyable.

Social media has been fully weaponized. I'd back off of that. But apart from social media, how much of this digital world is truly vital? We could read a book, hang out with a pet or a family member, stare off into space, etc.

All three of those things are illegal.

Well.... enjoy the illegality, and the rest of it, don't think about it too much. I mean it. The more time you spend ruminating on all this, the more unhappy you'll be.

You can buy parts to build a sweet rifle!

bullshit laws can't be enforced without bullshit enforcers.

Unfortunately there are more than plenty of both.

No.

Using public wi-fi is illegal.

Using someone else's unprotected network without their permission is illegal.

Connecting to the internet (yes, even browsing it) if you're under 13 is illegal (and I think now it's 18).

Using (or providing) services that collect/store/sell specific types of personally identifiable info is illegal to 13 and under.

Using Google Images and YouTube is a serious felony because everything on them violates some crazy law

No.

Even being on here with anonymous usernames is illegal according to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

That act is about committing fraud online, either through impersonation or manipulation. It has nothing to do with anonymous usernames unless you're claiming to be someone else.

Writing "disturbing material" is illegal.

No.

Memes are a felony.

No.

Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me. The main problem is absurdly strict laws about "abuse", "safety", and intellectual "property". I won't blame the US government for all of them, because many are forced on us by globalist organizations. But the mentality these days is that society and the state determine morality, so people are really snobby and think this is all righteousness simply because it's the law.

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There's a book about that.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Shilling. Because if it was illegal the government would have to arrest itself.

Remember though: rules for thee but not for me!

Well. We don't obey the law. All of this stuff is to try and patch the inherent lack of restriction that is natural to both us and computers.

Imagine if they didn't go after pirate sites, what a resource for humanity TPB is, but even more, could be. Instead it's fucking blocked.

[–]Vulptex[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm surprised they blocked Pirate Bay. No one seems to give a shit about piracy. There are problems when someone paints a Disney mural in a preschool, makes a fan work, revives old games and movies and software that are otherwise impossible to access, or something else that everyone knows is absurd that it's illegal. Then they want to put you in the brazen bull. But something that actually threatens their profit? No one bats an eye.

[–]Newzok 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well UK has a bunch of retards in charge who like to block things. Easily circumvented of course, but it's damn frustrating.
