Showing activities from people in this circle

@ireneista @smallcircles however, in advocacy (and even in the name "two-party"), the matter of recording is not cast in terms of litigation between adversarial parties, but as if it were a more intimate discussion between two good-faith individuals who are not currently filing a lawsuit against each other. one might even go so far as to think the two-party consent law would protect you against self-incrimination by law enforcement, assuming that nobody can record you without your consent under any circumstances. this is unfortunately not how (nor why) such laws are written, because US state governments will only protect the rights of their own citizens at best, and only under duress.

The DOJ and CFTC are going after a US soldier who allegedly used his access to confidential military information to profit more than $400,000 on Polymarket bets. They are not going after Polymarket, which is supposed to prohibit US bettors, and whose advisory board includes Donald Trump Jr.

“The whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino,” said former casino tycoon and current President Trump.

“I don’t like it,” said the man whose own social media platform has announced plans to launch a crypto-based prediction market feature.

I consider this to be part of the "misconceptions" that exist on the ActivityPub fediverse, to once more quote the term as Rich Hickey uses in "Hammock driven development". See:

coding.social/blog/grassroots-

The way I look at ActivityStreams is as a toolbox of social primitives, building blocks for federated solutions. Not as core capabilities of the ActivityPub protocol. Because they are simply not specified as universal and ubiquitous protocol capabilities.

If one particular object supports CRUD is solution-specific in my book. Ideally the ActivityStreams primitives all have well-defined singular purpose, but unfortunately that is not the case. More the opposite where everyone is encouraged to hammer their business domain into an ActivityStreams straitjacket.
