Social Media

Press Release.

Automated traffic—all non-human internet traffic—is growing eight times faster than human traffic, AI-driven traffic—traffic generated by or on behalf of AI systems—is the fastest-growing category of internet traffic, and for the first time, AI systems are not just reading the web but transacting on it.

      At this point The Great Firewall is looking more like it’s protecting human from this AI slop. I think I would be okay with Europe raising a great firewall against US owned companies.

      It’s made to counter US propaganda. In fact, any nation that doesn’t protect their information ‘borders’ are candy for US 3 letter agencies and their manipulation of their peoples information/values.

      Have a firewall or succumb to US manipulation of your citizens. It’s that easy, so no wonder US have created the ‘bad bad firewall’ sentiment.

      Oc people can’t rely on their governments only (especially in the West), so we must also have an information firewall that can reject pure propaganda nonsense before it reaches us. Moving from Reddit to Lemmy was a small step in that direction.
