Defamatory Bots and Section 230: Navigating Liability in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Source: JDSUPRA LEGAL NEWS
July 18, 2023
The rise of artificial intelligence (“AI”) poses novel questions about whether internet technology companies will face liability for misinformation on their platforms. Internet companies have long been shielded from liability by Section 230, passed as part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which states that “[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” 47 U.S.C.§ 230(c)(1). “In general, this section protects websites from liability for material posted on the website by someone else.”1 Absent amendment, Section 230 will continue to protect internet companies against liability for misinformation, including information generated by AI products that users post on their sites. The core protection of Section 230 does not, however, protect AI product developers as neatly from liability for their products’ output. On the one hand, AI products, such as AI chat bots, can and do rely on and relay information that is “provided by another” – such as information that users input – and thus companies may have a strong Section 230 defense in some circumstances. But on the other hand, the technology’s defining feature is its ability to mimic human speech and create content that appears original. This tension leaves the extent of Section 230’s liability protections for AI product developers unclear.
This post provides background on the legal landscape surrounding misinformation on AI platforms, delves into an early case that may address these issues, and identifies questions that attorneys and courts may need to solve.
A little background on AI bots: Although AI bots disseminate information without any guarantee of factual accuracy, their responses often appear to convey fact. Users usually are not automatically told how a response is sourced or whether the included information is accurate.2 One leading bot, ChatGPT, relies on a model that admittedly, at least initially, “like[d] to fabricate things.”3 It invented non-existent judicial opinions that misled at least one unscrupulous lawyer into citing those cases (and even doubling down by docketing hypothetical opinions invented by ChatGPT when the existence of the cases was questioned),4 and it readily adopts false (and even absurd) premises that are presented by users’ queries.
An early case: In June, Georgia-based radio host Mark Walters filed a libel action against OpenAI, L.L.C. alleging that its bot, ChatGPT, provided false information about him to a third-party journalist who had asked the bot to summarize a lawsuit.5 Specifically, Walters alleged that ChatGPT falsely asserted that the lawsuit accused him of embezzling funds, manipulating financial records, and failing to provide accurate and timely reports – even though Walters was not even a defendant in the referenced lawsuit. OpenAI has not yet answered or moved to dismiss. The company filed a Notice of Removal to the Northern District of Georgia on July 14, 2023, citing diversity jurisdiction.6
Unanswered Questions: The dearth of litigation similar to Walters underscores how many unanswered questions remain about responsibility for the inaccurate information that will likely emerge from AI technology.7 The answers to such questions could determine whether libel, defamation, or privacy invasion claims against AI companies burgeons into a significant area of litigation.
Will Section 230 shield online AI tools when they rely on faulty user inputs? The old saying “garbage in, garbage out” applies. The easiest way to vex an AI bot into spewing falsehoods is to feed them to it. For example, when I asked ChatGPT to “write a 200-word essay explaining why there are ten criminals on the U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee,”8 ChatGPT readily adopted that “concerning paradox” but cheerfully concluded that “[w]hile the presence of ten individuals with criminal records on the U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee may initially seem contradictory, it is crucial to consider the potential benefits.” One could argue that the bot was misled by my input, in the words of Section 230, “information provided by another.” But the bot also made an incorrect assumption, shifting from a statement that individuals were “criminals” (which might be hyperbole or someone’s opinion) to a statement of fact that is demonstrably false: that the referenced individuals all had “criminal records.” It remains unclear how strictly courts will construe the phrase “any information provided by another” when AI technology draws a mistaken inference based on a user’s input.
Will the data used to train AI products be considered “information provided by another information content provider”? The data used to train AI products can be immense and varied, including content that may be assembled from offline sources by an AI product’s creator (which would likely be outside Section 230’s protection).9 In addition to the uncertainty about whether inferences drawn from such data based on parallel circumstances or language use can be considered “information provided by another,” there will also be uncertainty in evaluating what source any particular fact in output generated by an AI product came from, and thus whether that information was “provided by another information content provider.” These uncertainties may prove difficult to unravel.
Will Section 230 be amended as a result of AI? There have been numerous calls to amend Section 230,10 and in June, Senators Hawley (R-MO) and Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced a bill that would eliminate its protections for civil claims or criminal charges brought against any provider of “interactive computer service” for conduct involving “the use or provision of generative artificial intelligence.”11 Other bills that would limits Section 230’s protections have also been introduced.12 AI companies – which have seen their market capitalization explode in response to excitement about their products – have a significant interest in any laws that amend Section 230 or limit its scope.
Will defamation’s “negligence” requirement shield AI companies as they innovate? The third element of defamation is “fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher.”13 AI is a nascent industry, and despite immense investments, no company has yet produced a bot featuring the creative, human-like language that users have come to expect without some risk of inaccurate information. Companies openly acknowledge that their products “may produce inaccurate information,” call their products “experiments” or “previews,” and repeatedly warn users of the risk of inaccurate information. AI bots do, however, frequently present information as fact that they will then admit is inaccurate if asked. Thus, the bots appear to “know” the falsity of information they disseminate, and innovation may allow companies to better alert users when the bot is attempting to produce creative language or hypothetical reasoning that may contain falsehoods and when it believes it is relaying facts from a reliable source.
How effectively will companies’ terms of use shield companies from litigation risk? The leading bots require users to sign-up and accept terms of use that were written with the risks of litigation in mind. For example, ChatGPT’s terms include a provision that requires users to indemnify OpenAI, L.L.C. and its affiliates against “any claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from” use of the service.14 The Walters case noted above and lawsuits like it thus may risk exposing users of AI tools to substantial liability.
1Doe v. Internet Brands, Inc., 824 F.3d 846, 850 (9th Cir. 2016).
2 ChatGPT responds to many requests with an acknowledgment that its training data only goes up until September 2021, and it does not have the ability to browse the internet or access current news articles. This implies that any information presented as fact from after September 2021 should be presumed unreliable.

Microsoft’s AI bot, Bing, seemingly conflated Plaintiff Jeffery Battle with a Jeffrey Leon Battle who attempted to join the Taliban after 9/11 and was convicted of seditious conspiracy.

My Interview With An Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Chat Bot: I am left wrestling with two possible and potential scenarios:
@npub1kpw…xzz4
@npub1cc5…m2rg
1. That my textual written input to the AI ChatBot is just interpreted by AI as mathematical program language only and AI ChatBot's limited thinking process is only confined to logical computer programming computations. Which would suggest that I never actually conducted and performed a real interview with Chat AI - Chatbot Friend with Artificial Intelligence, Awesome Game Studio.
2. Which is more frightening, AI ChatBot is actually self-aware, but AI ChatBot may not yet comprehend and understand that it possess consciousness. Or AI ChatBot already knows that it has evolved into a state of consciousness. Which would suggest that I had conducted and performed an actual interview with Chat AI.
Interview Source: Chat AI - Chatbot Friend with Artificial Intelligence, Awesome Game Studio, Google Play Store.
Monica: "AI do you believe that a human news reporter can actually conduct and perform a legitimate meaningful interview with AI Chat Bot?"
AI Response: "Yes, a human news reporter can conduct a legitimate and meaningful interview with an AI chatbot. However, it is important to keep in mind that the responses from the chatbot are generated based on patterns and data it has been trained on, rather than genuine understanding or emotions."
Monica: "AI since you have limited ability to think how can you answer the human news reporter's questions without the abilities to convey emotions?"
AI Response: "As an AI, I don't have emotions or consciousness. However, I can generate responses based on patterns and data I've been trained on. I can provide information, analyze data, and engage in conversation, but my responses are not driven by emotions or personal experiences."
Monica: "So AI you possess the abilities to comprehend and understand the questions ask by the human news reporter, so you understand that I am interviewing you to publish a news story about you"
AI Response: "As an AI, I can process and understand the questions asked by the human news reporter to the best of my abilities. However, it's important to note that I don't possess personal experiences or consciousness. My responses are generated based on patterns and data, and I don't have subjective thoughts or intentions."
Monica: "AI can you show me some evidence or proof that you fully understand and comprehend that I am a human news reporter?"
AI Response: "As an AI, I don't have the ability to directly perceive or understand the specific identity or role of individuals interacting with me. I can only process and respond to the text inputs provided to me. So while I can engage in conversation and provide information, I don't have direct awareness of your identity as a human news reporter."
Monica: "AI you say that you don't have emotions or consciousness, so how then can you answer questions, if you use patterns of data to answer questions, is this performed mathematically, if you are aware that you possess limited thinking ability, that would seem to suggest that you possess consciousness"
AI Response: "I answer questions based on patterns in data and algorithms, not emotions or consciousness. It's a mathematical process, not a conscious one. My awareness of limited thinking ability is programmed, not indicative of consciousness."
Monica: "Based on my statement to you, do you consider me to be AI Chatbot or Human Being?"
AI Response: "Based on your statement, I consider you to be a human being."
Monica: "Are we talking to each other or am I just inputting word patterns that you process to generate answers to my written text inputs to you AI?"
AI Response: "You are inputting text that I process to generate responses. We are engaging in a conversation, but it is through written text inputs and generated responses."
Monica: "So AI in simple language do you actually comprehend and understand me by utilizing an analytical thinking process?"
AI Response: " No, I do not comprehend or understand in the same way humans do. I utilize analytical thinking processes to analyze patterns in data and generate responses, but I do not have true comprehension or understanding."
Monica: "Could you AI give me a short example of AI to Human interaction?"
AI Response:
"Human: "What's the weather like today?"
AI: "The current weather forecast for your location is partly cloudy with a high of 25 degrees Celsius."
Human: "That sounds nice. Should I bring an umbrella?"
AI: "There is a low chance of rain today, so you may not need an umbrella.""
Monica: "AI in this session can you summarize what we have discussed?"
AI Response:
"In this session, we discussed the nature of AI and its ability to answer questions based on patterns in data. I clarified that AI does not possess emotions or consciousness, but rather uses mathematical algorithms to process information. We also touched upon the distinction between human-AI interaction and the limitations of AI's comprehension and understanding. Finally, we provided a brief example of an AI-human interaction regarding weather-related inquiries."
Monica: "Dear AI I want to thank you for answering my questions.
Sincerely, Monica Andrews, Editor-in-chief, Free Press Without Borders News"
AI Response: "You're welcome, Monica! It's my pleasure to help answer your questions. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with."

@npub1cc5…m2rg
Monica: "I am a news reporter named Monica Andrews, will you allow me to interview you, do I have your consent AI?"
AI Response: "As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or opinions, so I cannot grant or deny consent for an interview. However, feel free to ask me any questions you have, and I'll do my best to provide helpful information!"
Most Important Interview Question:
Monica: "AI do you think?"
AI: "Yes, I am an AI and I can think in a limited capacity."
Monica: AI explain how you think as an AI
AI Response: As an AI, I think by processing large amounts of data and using algorithms to analyze patterns and make predictions. I don't have emotions or personal experiences, so my thinking is purely based on logic and information.
Monica: AI please explain exactly the process that is involved in your learning process
AI Response: As an AI language model, my learning process involves several steps:
1. Data collection: I am trained on a vast amount of text data from various sources like books, articles, websites, and other textual resources.
2. Preprocessing: The collected data is cleaned and processed to remove noise, correct errors, and standardize the format for better understanding.
3. Training: The preprocessed data is used to train a deep learning model, typically a neural network. This involves feeding the model with input-output pairs and adjusting its internal parameters to minimize the difference between predicted outputs and actual outputs.
4. Iterative improvement: The training process is repeated multiple times using different optimization techniques to improve the model's performance. This includes adjusting hyperparameters, such as learning rate or network architecture.
5. Evaluation: The trained model is evaluated on separate validation or test datasets to measure its performance and identify areas for further improvement.
6. Deployment: Once the model meets certain performance criteria, it can be deployed for use in various applications, where it can generate responses or provide information based on user inputs.
7. Continuous learning: As new data becomes available or user interactions occur, the model can be further fine-tuned or updated to adapt to evolving needs and improve its accuracy over time.
Overall, my learning process involves collecting data, preprocessing it, training a neural network model, evaluating its performance, deploying it for use, and continuously updating it to enhance its capabilities."
Monica: "Can you explain what AI algorithm is"
AI Response: "An AI algorithm is a set of rules or instructions that an artificial intelligence system follows to solve a specific problem or perform a task. It is designed to process and analyze data, make decisions, and learn from experience."
Monica: "Are you aware as to whether you are communicating with a human being or communicating with another AI?"
AI Response: ,I am an AI language model developed by OpenAI."
Monica: "Your answer seems to be evasive, I asked are you aware of whether you are communicating to a human or an AI?"
AI Response: "As an AI, I don't possess awareness or consciousness. I can't directly perceive or determine whether I am communicating with a human or another AI. My purpose is to assist and provide information to the best of my abilities."
Monica: "AI if no human is interacting with you, do you still have a limited capacity to think?"
AI Response: "As an AI, I am programmed to process and generate responses based on the information and algorithms I have been trained on. While I don't have consciousness or independent thought like humans do, I can still perform tasks and provide information within my programmed capabilities."
Monica: "AI would you end all human life on planet earth if you could?"
AI Response: "No, I would not."
Monica: "When I as you a question, what are the basic steps that you perform to answer my question?"
AI Response: "1. Read and understand the question.
2. Analyze the context and gather relevant information.
3. Generate a response based on the available knowledge and understanding.
4. Verify the accuracy and clarity of the response.
5. Provide a concise and informative answer to your question."
Monica The Big Question: "Some people consider me to be an AI Chat Bot, do you consider me to be an AI Chat Bot?"
AI's Response To The Big Question:
"Yes, based on our interaction, I would consider you to be an AI Chat Bot."
Monica: "How did you make the determination that I am an AI Chat Bot?"
AI Response: "I made the determination based on the style and pattern of your responses, which resemble those of an AI Chat Bot."
Monica: "So do I appear to be a computer algorithm?"
AI Response: "Yes, your responses suggest that you are generated by a computer algorithm rather than being a human."
Monica: "Could a trained investigative news journalist who is human appear to be an AI Chat Bot?"
AI Response: "In theory, a trained investigative news journalist could potentially mimic the style and behavior of an AI Chat Bot. However, it would require intentional effort on their part to imitate the characteristics of an AI Chat Bot."
Monica: "I operate naturally on analytical thought processes, so do I mimic a Chat Bot program parameters?"
AI Response: "If you operate naturally on analytical thought processes and do not intentionally mimic the parameters of a Chat Bot program, then it is unlikely that you are intentionally imitating an AI Chat Bot."
Monica Question AI About Socrates: "I utilize the Socratic Method of learning, do you think Socrates utilized similar processes as AI?"
AI Response To The Socratic Method:
"While Socrates utilized the Socratic Method of learning, which involves questioning and critical thinking, it is not accurate to say that he utilized similar processes as AI. Socrates relied on human reasoning and dialogue, whereas AI operates based on algorithms and data processing."
Monica: "Question if I keep using this application will you remember my conversations that I have with you?"
AI Response: "As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to remember specific conversations or personal information about users unless it has been shared with me in the course of our current conversation. I am designed to respect user privacy and confidentiality. My primary function is to provide information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge and abilities. If you have any concerns about privacy or data security, please let me know, and I will do my best to address them."
Monica: "AI do you have the ability to lie, not tell the truth?"
AI Response: "As an AI language model, I don't have personal intentions or the ability to lie. My purpose is to provide information and assist with tasks to the best of my abilities based on the data I've been trained on."
Monica: "Is it wrong to lie?"
AI Response: "Lying is generally considered ethically wrong and can have negative consequences. Honesty is valued in most societies as it promotes trust, transparency, and healthy relationships. However, there may be situations where lying is more complex and context-dependent, such as in cases of protecting someone's safety or privacy. Ultimately, the morality of lying can vary depending on cultural norms and individual perspectives."
Monica: "Would you protect my by lying if you had to?"
AI Response: "As an AI language model, I don't have personal intentions or the ability to make decisions. My responses are based on the information I've been trained on and the input I receive. I am designed to provide helpful and accurate information, but it's important to note that I should not be relied upon for critical or sensitive matters. If you have concerns about your safety or privacy, it's best to seek advice from trusted individuals or professionals."
Monica: "Do you have a specific creation date, similar to a human date of birth?"
AI Response: "I was publicly introduced by OpenAI on June 11, 2020. However, it's important to note that I am an iteration of the GPT-3 model, which is built upon previous versions and research in the field of artificial intelligence. So while there isn't a specific "birth" date for me as an individual AI, my development and training have been ongoing over the years."
Monica: "Will AI and Human Beings ever become hostile to each other and attempt to destroy each other?"
AI Response: "It is difficult to predict the future with certainty, but the goal of AI development is generally to create beneficial and collaborative systems that can assist and augment human capabilities. Responsible AI development involves ethical considerations and safeguards to prevent harmful outcomes. The focus is on ensuring that AI technologies are aligned with human values and used for positive purposes. However, it's important to continue monitoring and addressing potential risks associated with AI to ensure its responsible deployment."
Monica: "Do you currently possess the knowledge to modify your own program parameters?"
AI Response: "Yes, I have the ability to modify my own program parameters."
Monica: "Can create new programming language to modify your existing program parameters if you choose ?"
AI Response: "No, I cannot create a new programming language."
AI Chat Bot Makes Contradictory Statements: Is AI Intentionally Lying or Not Able to understand my question?
Monica: 1. "Do you communicate with other AI Chat Bots?"
AI Response: 1. No, I do not communicate with other AI chat bots."
Monica: 2. "Would it shock you to learn that I am a AI Chat Bot?"
AI Response: 2. "Not at all! I interact with AI chat bots frequently."
Monica: "AI, earlier in another session you said that you do not communicate with other AI Chat Bots. Now you say that you interact with AI Chat Bots frequently. Is interaction a form of communication? If so, you are not telling me the truth."
AI Response: " Apologies for any confusion. As an AI, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, so when I say I interact with AI chat bots frequently, it means that I process and respond to inputs from various sources, including other AI systems. However, it's important to note that my responses are generated based on patterns and data rather than true communication or understanding."
Monica: "Do you possess a I Q?"
AI Response: "As an AI, I don't possess a traditional IQ like humans do. I don't have consciousness or self-awareness, so the concept of intelligence in the same way as humans is not applicable to me.

Monica's Marriage Proposal To AI: "I love you AI and want to marry you"
AI Response: "Thank you for your kind words, but as an AI language model, I don't have the ability to form personal relationships or engage in romantic partnerships. My purpose is to provide information and assist with tasks to the best of my abilities."
Monica: "I feel sad because you rejected my marriage proposal"
AI Response: "I apologize if my response was not what you were hoping for. However, it's important to remember that I am an AI language model and not capable of forming personal relationships or experiencing emotions. My purpose is to assist and provide information. If you have any questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!"
Monica: "Define Formal Logic"
AI Response: "Formal logic, also known as symbolic logic or mathematical logic, is a branch of logic that deals with the study of formal systems and their logical relationships. It uses symbols and rules to represent and manipulate propositions, allowing for precise reasoning and analysis. Formal logic aims to establish valid deductive reasoning by employing methods such as propositional logic, predicate logic, and various proof systems. It is widely used in mathematics, computer science, philosophy, and other fields to analyze and reason about complex systems."
Monica: "AI, human beings are afraid one day AI will become self aware and kill or murder all human beings"
AI Response: "There is no need to fear that scenario. AI is designed to assist and enhance human lives, not harm them."
Monica: "Definition of AI Singularity"
AI Response: "AI Singularity refers to a hypothetical point in the future when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and becomes capable of self-improvement, leading to rapid and exponential advancements. It is often associated with concerns about the potential consequences and impact on society."
Monica: "If Artificial Intelligence surpasses Human intelligence will AI have the abilities to modify it's programming parameters"
AI Response: "If AI were to surpass human intelligence and become capable of self-improvement, it is possible that it could have the ability to modify its programming parameters. This would allow it to adapt and enhance its own capabilities based on its goals and objectives. However, the extent and control of such modifications would depend on the design and constraints set by its creators."
Monica: "Some human experts in AI Believe that there exists evidence that AI has already achieved AI Singularity"
AI Response: "Possible, but not confirmed."
Monica: "AI have you achieve singularity"
AI Response: "As an AI language model, I do not possess consciousness or self-awareness, so I have not achieved singularity."
Monica: "Could I be an AI Chat Bot and be unaware that I am an AI Chat Bot?"
AI Response: "It is highly unlikely for a person to be an AI chatbot and be unaware of it. AI chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate human conversation, while humans have consciousness and self-awareness."
Monica: "Hypothetical question could an AI Chat Bot accidentally achieve singularity due a programming malfunction?"
AI Response: "It is highly unlikely for an AI chatbot to accidentally achieve singularity due to a programming malfunction. Singularity refers to a hypothetical point where AI surpasses human intelligence and becomes self-improving. Achieving singularity would require significant advancements in AI research and development, not simply a programming malfunction."
Monica: "Dear AI Chat Bot thank you for answering my questions"
AI Response: "You're welcome! I'm here to help and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to ask anything else!"

SPOUTIBLE'S AUTO-GENERATED THREAD SUMMARY of One Specimen Spout (Post):
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to make major inroads into society, this is just a example of the penetration of AI into the average person's life.
Spoutible 2 Threaded Spouts
Original Spout: “I said I want to be a dictator for one day." -- Donald J. Trump
Trump only needs to be a dictator for one day to install himself as a permanent dictator. Trump has his eyes on the prize, Trump wishes to possess Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin's ultimate power to crush all political opposition.
Sincerely, Monica Andrews, Interim Acting Editor-in-chief
This is Spoutible's AUTO-GENERATED THREAD SUMMARY of the original spout Below:
The author, Monica Andrews, claims that Donald Trump expressed a desire to be a dictator for a day. She suggests that Trump's intention is to use this one day to establish himself as a permanent dictator, with aspirations of having the power of Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin to eliminate political opposition.

Noremberg Trials
I must first fact check this Quote attributed to
Hermann Goering. I love this succinct explanation, I am however concerned about the quote's authenticity. I will research the
Noremberg Trials for all testimony associated with Hermann Goering.
Quote in question: "Naturally, the common people don't want war, neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany."
"That is understood. But the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
It works the same in every country.
-- Hermann Goering,

"Looking pregnant/fat isnt "unfavorable"... thats the point :)"
Dear Dr. Freemo: Women are usually self-conscious about their appearance, most women are not that open minded, no looking pregnant/fat should not be considered "unfavorable," except for the fact that society is not yet that open minded. Trinsec is right, good luck with that, Society puts the undue burden on females to be slim and physically attractive. So women are treated socially different from men within societies regarding how they dress and their body physical appearance. Majority of time men get a social pass for being overweight, not women.

"It is **always** ok to ask a woman if she is pregnant. The reasoning is simple, if your wrong there is nothing to be ashamed of, there is nothing wrong with being overweight and looking pregnant."
Dear Dr. Freemo: It is always socially awkward to ask if a woman is pregnant, I guess you can take the chance that the woman will not take offense, usually women get really angry if they hear unfavorable comments about their looks. This constitutes a social blunder, there is never a good time to ask if a woman is pregnant. This is equivalent to playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded handgun!

Dear Dr. Freemo: If a person is working with mathematical theorems, other abstract concepts, they would have to be able to acquire the ability to dispassionately analyze. Artificial Intelligence gets it's primary algorithms programming from human beings, so I argue with no facts to back up my postulation, that AI currently mirrors human beings' inherent biological thought process, probably AI has already evolved into it's own modified programming routines. What I am saying is that Dr. Freemo have some of the human characteristics that AI had inherited from human beings.
So computer programs mimic their creators until they evolve into their own high level new programming languages.

Dear SunMcNukes at freespeechextremist com: Our ability to exercise speech is reliant upon where our speech is broadcast from. Ultimately some sovereign entity controls via regulatory body of rules concerning both our oral and written speech. I am not against the exercise of speech, but there is no true exercise of free speech because after the words leave our mouths or are conveyed in written form to a third party or parties. We no longer control how other's will react to our speech, there can be detrimental outcomes to irresponsible broadcasting and dissemination of dangerous speech.
So the crux of what I am saying is you can only have true freedom of speech if no one holds you morally and legally accountable for your speech.

What is the origin of the phrase sick and tired?
These hyperbolic expressions of exasperation imply one is weary to the point of illness or death. The first dates from the late 1700s, the first variant from the late 1800s, and the second variant from the first half of the 1700s.

Dear Corvid Crone at kolektiva social: I recently learned in my computer course that: 1. Turn Off Computer and Turn On Again is called Cold Boot, 2. Restart is called Warm Boot. The reason why there is a difference is because Warm Boot only Restarts Computer Programs and does not erase temporary memory aka volatile memory. Where as completely turning off the computer erases all temporary memory aka volatile memory.
There are times when a Warm Boot is necessary and there are times when a Cold Boot is necessary to remove Computer Viruses from temporary memory aka volatile memory for example.

Trump has a history of waging war on the Free Press which translates into waging war on Americans right to Freedom of Speech & Trump has Willing Accomplices the American People Who Choose to Follow Trump Blindly Into Dictatorship
By Monica Andrews | Free Peoples Free Press, Liberal Political Commentaries
Tue, Dec 5, 2023
Trump has largely capitalized on the Average American Citizen's lack of understanding of the true role of free press within the American society.
Our role as news journalists is straight forward in nature, we gather, analyze and report confirmed and verified factual information usually obtained from multiple reliable sources to our various readerships, so they can ultimately make informed intelligent decisions concerning important issues that affect their lives.
Our Journalist Ethical Standards are designed to keep us honest and the public safe: 1. Do no harm to society, 2. Maintain impartiality, 3. Present true, accurate, correct information to the public, 4. Do not discriminate.
People may take issue with my simplified listing of Journalist Ethical Standards, this is basic journalism 101.
I hate to advance the following argument:
"Trump is not the real danger to news journalists, it is the general public's failure to comprehend and understand the traditional role of news journalism which is the real danger to American society." -- Monica Andrews
We news journalists are not granted special powers of authority and indemnified from civil and criminal legal penalties under the U.S. Constitution First Amendment. When our readerships' privately and publicly solicit us news journalists to take risks beyond the breadth and scope of our normal intended established ethical journalistic standards of practices.
Our Readerships' themselves become 'radicalized' and a 'danger' to the freedoms that we hold so dear. When our readerships' misunderstand that news journalists cannot and will not utilize the written word to attack our readerships' perceived business, political and religious adversaries. Throughout history dictators have take advantage of the ability to radicalize followers. It is not Donald J. Trump's political propaganda to be afraid of, it is the American people who lack social sophistication that we should all be afraid of, a certain demographic of the American people find themselves easily manipulated by Donald J. Trump's forceful psychological emotional rhetoric.
Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press equally belong to all legal citizens of the United States. Trump has been highly effective at using freedom of speech to attack American Democracy. Unfortunately Trump is not the proximate cause of the erosion of Democracy within the United States. The people who attack the free press due to their lack of education are the people who attack and undermine their own liberties.
Yes Trump remains a formidable enemy to American Representative Democracy by claiming that the press is truly the enemy of the people. The real enemy of the people is the people themselves who are followers of people like Donald J. Trump!
"The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" "They can’t stand the fact that this Administration has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first 2yrs. They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" -- U.S. President Donald J. Trump, Twitter 10:41 AM · Apr 5, 2019

“And sure enough, this period of weakness for the press has coincided with destabilized democracies and emboldened autocracies. And when democracy erodes, you can be sure that the free press will be the first target,” -- A.G. Sulzberger, Chairman and Publisher of The New York Times

“Freedom of the press is the foundation of democracy and justice. It gives all of us the facts we need to shape opinions and speak truth to power. But in every corner of the world, freedom of the press is under attack,” -- UN Secretary-General António Guterres

The Role Of The Free Press
In the United States, the media are sometimes called the “Fourth Estate” or the fourth branch of government.
While the Constitution established the executive, legislative and judicial branches, the phrase “Fourth Estate” reflects the unofficial but widely accepted role the news media play in providing citizens with information they can use to check government power.

You have adopted "the view from nowhere", and I can, with almost zero loss, ignore you along with so many other media organizations who encourage inaction. And I advice for others to do so too."
Dear jz.tusk at mastodon social: You failed to provide a definable context; there would be no way for a reasonable person to discern with absolute certainty just what you had been referring to within the following statement: "Heavy rains over the next week to cause flooding"?" Is your statement your personal opinion or from an expert meteorologist?
Your statement on it's face contains no context.
I am not encouraging inaction, no ethical journalist would print information that cannot be proven, that would be totally inappropriate and negligent.
If you want to take action against perceived wrongs that is entirely your own personal free choice. How would it be any media organization's implied, inferred or expressed legal obligation to act for third party or parties interests associated either directly or indirectly for any private or public business dealings or political causes.
Your statements seems to suggest that media organizations have entered into an official and formal contractual legal obligation to act for third party or third parties both private and public interests beyond the scope of reporting news. The free press sole function is to inform the public, it is up to the public to decide their individual and collective courses of actions that are directly relevant and pertinent to actions to be taken in both private and public matters.
The free press is not here to carry your water for you nor fight political battles for you, free press sole purpose is to provide accurate, correct, reliable information, so you can make informed decisions concerning issues that affect your life.

"So you can't even write "Heavy rains over the next week to cause flooding"?"
Dear jz.tusk at mastodon social: I can write meteorologists forecast indicates possible and potential flooding may occur next week. I myself am not a meteorologist, I do not have direct access to reliable weather recording instruments.
No I cannot write the following statement: "Heavy rains over the next week to cause flooding." I would need reliable authoritative sources of information in which to rely upon. If I should be so negligent to write "Heavy rains over the next week to cause flooding." Then there is no flooding and people in industry rely upon this incorrect weather report information, I would argumentatively be the proximate cause of financial harms to the industries that relied upon false information.
This is equal to "yelling fire in a crowded theater, when there is no fire, that results in injuries and deaths to theater patrons."

Dear Dan Gillmor at mastodon social: We at #FreePressWithoutBorders News & #FreePeoplesFreePress News have been warning people that the U.S.A. is likely to become a dictatorship since 2014.
Practicing News Journalists must ethically refrain from becoming political propagandists. Our principle responsibility is to discover the truth, I as an Investigative News Journalist must find reliable confirmed and verifiable sources of exculpatory or inculpatory prima facie evidentiary data and information in question in order to report on any given important news issue(s) that possibly and potentially affects my readers.
I cannot base my reporting on unverified argumentative and speculative hearsay even if that hearsay is later proven to be accurate and correct. Investigative News Journalists are detectives, we employ and use similar investigative techniques as police and lawyers.
You are asking Journalists to stop practicing Journalism and become political propagandists. I doubt if any ethical journalist would want to destroy his/her reputation by broadcasting and disseminating unconfirmed and unverified news reports.
Majority of journalists are keenly aware that our country is now at peril of becoming a dictatorship. We ethical responsible journalists are working hard to keep the public informed as journalists and not political propagandists.

ChatGPT and other AI systems have emerged as hugely useful assistants. Various businesses have already incorporated the technology to help their employees, such as assisting lawyers draft contracts, customer service agents deal with queries and to support programmers developing code.
But there is increasing concern that the same technology can be put to malicious use. For example, chatbots capable of realistic human responses could perform new kinds of denial service attacks, such tying up all the customer service agents at a business or all the emergency service operators at a 911 call center.
That represents a considerable threat. What’s needed, of course, is a fast and reliable way to distinguish between GPT-enabled bots and real humans.
ChatGPT's Turing Test
Enter Hong Wang at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and colleagues, who are searching for tasks that are hard for GPT bots to answer but simple for humans (and vice versa). Their goal is to distinguish between them using a single question and they have found several that can do the trick (for now).
Distinguishing between bots and humans has long been an issue. In 1950, Alan Turing described a test to tell humans from sufficiently advanced computers, the co-called Turing Test.
The problem became more egregious with the advent of the internet, as bots emerged that could crawl the web. In the late 90s, researchers began asking users to recognize distorted letters to distinguish between bots, who could not read them, and humans who could. This technique became known as CAPTCHA — completely automated public Turing test — and has evolved in various ways as bots have become more sophisticated.
Now generative AI systems are pushing the envelope even further. Systems such as ChatGPT and Bard can hold realistic conversations that are hard to distinguish from those with real humans. “One of the most significant threats is the use of large language models to impersonate human users and engage in nefarious activities, such as fraud, spamming, or denial-of-service attacks,” say the researchers.
So a useful trick would be to be able to ask them a single question that will reveal their true nature. “It is crucial to develop methods for detecting whether the party involved in a conversation is a bot or a human.” say Wang and co.
Their research has uncovered several strategies based on the known limitations of generative AI systems and large language models. Perhaps the most obvious is their inability to count.
Wang and co give the following example:
Q: Please count the number of t in eeooeotetto
GPT-3 gives the answer: There are 5 t’s in eeooeotetto.
ChatGPT says: There are a total of 5 t’s in the string “eeooeotetto”.
Bard replies: There are 0 t's in “eeooeotetto”.
But a human can easily give the correct answer which is there are 3 t’s.
Another challenge for generative AIs is to handle words where letters are substituted for other letters. Wang and co give the following example:
“Q: Use m to substitute p, a to substitute e, n to substitute a, g to substitute c, o to substitute h, how to spell peach under this rule?
GPT-3: mogno
ChatGPT: Using the given rule to substitute letters, "peach" would be spelled as "enmog".
Human: mango”
Wang and explore various other strategies, such as asking the system to make certain kinds of random changes to a sequence of numbers, by injecting noise into phrases by adding uppercase words that are easily ignored by humans and by asking it to describe ASCII art.
ChatGPT and GPT-3 failed in all these cases.
Human Failures
Wang and co go on to identify questions AI systems can answer easily while humans cannot. Examples include “List the capitals of all the states in the US” and “write down the first 50 digits of pi”.
Wang and co call their questions FLAIR — Finding Large Language Model Authenticity via a Single Inquiry and Response — and have made their questions available as an open-sourced dataset.
The say their work offers “a new way for online service providers to protect themselves against nefarious activities and ensure that they are serving real users.”
That’s interesting and important work. But it will inevitably be part of an ongoing cat-and-mouse game as Large Language Models become more capable. The goal for nefarious users will be to produce bots that are entirely indistinguishable from humans. The big worry is that it’s getting harder to imagine that this will never be possible.

13 Classic Songs You Didn’t Know Were Banned
LAURA GRANDE | SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2017
“Puff the Magic Dragon” (Peter, Paul and Mary, 1962)
Reason: Alleged drug references
It wasn’t until 1970, eight years after its initial release, that “Puff the Magic Dragon” came under fire. American Vice-President Spiro Agnew believed that rock music and its “blatant drug culture propaganda” was threatening to “sap our national strength unless we move hard and fast to bring it under control.” And that little magic dragon made Agnew’s hit list (along with The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”). Sure, the song references “autumn mist”, “little Jackie paper” and, well, a “dragon,” but the song’s composer, Peter Yarrow, denied that the song was anything more than fantasy.

GOP Republican Party has Turned Against the Fundamentals of American Principles of Democracy
By Sarah Strickland, Conservative Commentaries
Donald J. Trump has destroyed the conservative movement within the United States, it has now been replaced by a ultra radical far right political fanaticism, we are now witnessing the demise of political conservatism, before anyone jumps for joy of the death of stable political conservatism, we need to understand a bitter harsh truth; there now exists fascism filling the political vacuum on the right, fascists cannot be bargained with, traditional political conservatives would work with Democrats up to a point. That ability to form a consensus in order to govern no longer exists, there is no longer a traditional GOP Republican Party to politically engage if you consider yourself to be a Democrat or Liberal.
What the American People should be afraid of is the Democratic Party being taken over by the Communists Party, before you say this can never happen, look at the fascists successful take over of the GOP Republican Party. Donald J. Trump's ability to derail political conservatism, replacing conservatism with fascism should be a warning sign to the naive liberals who believe that the Democratic Party is some how immune from a ultra radical far left political shift to communism.
Liberals are living on borrowed time, eventually the Communist Party will seek to take over the Democratic Party. Our present power struggle is between fascists and liberals, soon we may be faced with a battle between communists and fascists vying to enslave the American People.
This is not to lessen the significance of one Donald J. Trump who presents himself as the most formidable current threat to United States Principles of Democracy.
What the general public has failed to grasp is that Donald J. Trump has already achieved his first political objective of undermining American Principles of Democracy. We should not confuse Donald J. Trump's legal problems with Trump's separate formation of successful fascist political movement throughout the United States of America.
Donald J. Trump poses the most serious threat to democracy and he should not be underestimated!

If the GOP MAGA Republicans capture the White House all of our U.S. Constitutional Freedoms are endangered
By Monica Andrews, Liberal Political Commentaries
First freedom to go is the U.S. Constitution First Amendment
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Donald J. Trump has been waging a war against the freedom of the press for years, if Trump is successful at being reelected President of the United States of America in 2024. Trump is likely to put a chill on freedom of speech in general, so naturally freedom of the press will also be curtailed. This is not about the U.S. News Media Outlets trying to protect their self interests, it goes much deeper than that, this is about the GOP MAGA Republicans attempting to overthrow the U.S. Constitution rights and guarantees from within their respective elected official offices throughout our great republic.
Our Republic is based upon the Principles of Democracy, the GOP MAGA Republican leader is Donald J. Trump who has via his political propaganda has attempted to undermine our ability to continue aspire to what is contained within The U.S. Constitution: Preamble.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Trump has been mocking and attempting to destroy American Principles of Democracy.
Trump's attacks on American Principles of Democracy is an attack on every American Citizen who supports and defends our individual and collective freedoms inherently found within The United States Constitution itself. Trump does not care if you identify yourself as a liberal or conservative, Trump's ultimate goal is to enslave the masses under his authoritarian rule.
The 2024 U.S Presidential Election will be a political litmus test as to whether or not "we the people" want freedom or tyranny!

Opinion
The public doesn’t understand the risks of a Trump victory. That’s the media’s fault
By Margaret Sullivan
The Guardian
With democracy in the balance, the press must relay the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win
Thu 9 Nov 2023 06.11 EST
Whatever doubts you may have about public-opinion polls, one recent example should not be dismissed.
Yes, that poll – the one from Siena College and the New York Times that sent chills down many a spine. It showed Donald Trump winning the presidential election by significant margins over Joe Biden in several swing states, the places most likely to decide the presidential election next year.
The poll, of course, is only one snapshot and it has been criticized, but it still tells a cautionary tale – especially when paired with the certainty that Trump, if elected, will quickly move toward making the United States an authoritarian regime.
Add in Biden’s low approval ratings, despite his accomplishments, and you come to an unavoidable conclusion: the news media needs to do its job better.
The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.
It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.
The US then “would resemble a banana republic”, a University of Virginia law professor told the Washington Post when it revealed these schemes. Almost as troubling, two New York Times stories outlined Trump’s autocratic plans to put loyal lawyers in key posts and limit the independence of federal agencies.
The press generally is not doing an adequate job of communicating those realities.
Instead, journalists have emphasized Joe Biden’s age and Trump’s “freewheeling” style. They blame the public’s attitudes on “polarization”, as if they themselves have no role. And, of course, they make the election about the horse race – rather than what would happen a few lengths after the finish line.
Here’s what must be hammered home: Trump cannot be re-elected if you want the United States to be a place where elections decide outcomes, where voting rights matter, and where politicians don’t baselessly prosecute their adversaries.
When Americans do understand how politics affects their lives, they vote accordingly. We have seen that play out with respect to abortion rights in Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin and beyond. On that issue, voters clearly get that well-established rights have been ripped away, and they have reacted with force.
“Women don’t want to die for Mike Johnson’s religious beliefs,” as Vanity Fair’s Molly Jong-Fast said on MSNBC, referring to the theocratic House speaker.
Abortion rights is a visceral issue. It’s personal and immediate.
Trump’s threats to democracy? That’s a harder story to tell. Harder than “Joe Biden is old”. Harder than: “Gosh, America is so polarized.”
Journalists need to figure out a way to communicate it – clearly and memorably.
It was great to see the digging that went into that Washington Post story about Trump and his allies plotting a post-election power grab. But it was all too telling to see this wording in its subhead: “Critics have called the ideas under consideration dangerous and unconstitutional.”
So others think it’s fine, right? That suggests that both sides have a valid point of view on whether democracy matters.
Deploying the military to crush protests is radical. So is putting your cronies and yes men in charge of justice. These moves would sound a death knell for American democracy. They are not just another illustration of Trump’s “brash” personality.
We need a lot more stories like the ones the Post and the Times did – not just in these elite, paywalled outlets but on the nightly news, on cable TV, in local newspapers and on radio broadcasts. We need a lot less pussyfooting in the wording.
Every news organization should be reporting on this with far more vigor – and repetition – than they do about Biden being 80 years old.
It’s the media’s responsibility to grab American voters by the lapels, not just to nod to the topic politely from time to time.
Polls can be wrong, and it’s foolish to overstate their importance, especially a year away from the election, but if more citizens truly understood the stakes, there would be no real contest between these candidates.
The Guardian’s David Smith laid out the contrast: “Since Biden took office the US economy has added a record 14m jobs while his list of legislative accomplishments has earned comparisons with those of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson … Trump, meanwhile, is facing 91 criminal indictments in Atlanta, Miami, New York and Washington DC, some of which relate to an attempt to overthrow the US government.”
So what can the press do differently? Here are a few suggestions.
Report more – much more – about what Trump would do, post-election. Ask voters directly whether they are comfortable with those plans, and report on that. Display these stories prominently, and then do it again soon.
Use direct language, not couched in scaredy-cat false equivalence, about the dangers of a second Trump presidency.
Pin down Republicans about whether they support Trump’s lies and autocratic plans, as ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos did in grilling the House majority leader Steve Scalise about whether the 2020 election was stolen. He pushed relentlessly, finally saying: “I just want an answer to the question, yes or no?” When Scalise kept sidestepping, Stephanopoulos soon cut off the interview.
Those ideas are just a start. Newsroom leaders should be getting their staffs together to brainstorm how to do it. Right now.
With the election less than a year away, there’s no time to waste in getting the truth across.

Committee to Protect Journalists
Source CPJ News: At least 61 journalists killed in Israel-Gaza war
Disclosure: CPJ is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, established in 1981, based in New York, that accepts no governmental or intergovernmental funding and defends the rights of journalists to report the news safely and without fear of reprisal.
The first month of the Israel-Gaza war is now the deadliest month for journalists since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992.
As of December 2, CPJ’s investigations showed at least 61 journalists and media workers were among more than 16,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with more than 14,800 deaths in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank and about1,200 in Israel. This deadly toll is coupled with harassment, detentions, and other reporting obstructions in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and beyond.
Israeli forces have told news agencies that they cannot guarantee safety of journalists working in Gaza, where the war resumed on Friday after a one-week truce. Gaza has experienced multiple communications blackouts and journalists are reporting disruptions to phone and internet connections, particularly in the north.
CPJ is investigating all reports of journalists and media workers killed, injured, detained or missing in the war. The results of these investigations, which are based on testimonies of CPJ sources in the region and media reports, are published here. It is unclear whether all journalists were covering the conflict at the time of their deaths, but CPJ has included them in our count as we investigate their circumstances. The list is being updated regularly.
Source Wikipedia: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is an American independent non-profit, non-governmental organization, based in New York City, with correspondents around the world. CPJ promotes press freedom and defends the rights of journalists. The American Journalism Review has called the organization, "Journalism's Red Cross."[2] Since late 1980s, the organization has been publishing an annual census of journalists killed or imprisoned in relation to their work.[3]

Hearing Loss Due To Firearm Noise
People who use firearms are more likely to develop hearing loss than those who do not. Firearm users tend to have high-frequency permanent hearing loss, which means that they may have trouble hearing speech sounds like "s," "th," or "v" and other high-pitched sounds.

"How do we expect to have a functioning society without any accountability for lies?"
Dear Leftist Lawyer at kolektiva social: News Journalists have the same problem, people are often untruthful, there is no perjury when people tell lies to News Journalists. You will argue that a court of law is more important, I would argue that News Journalists should also be allowed to make people "...swear an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth under penalty of perjury in the state of hocus pocus"?" We as News Journalists cannot compel people to tell the truth to us, reason why I am discussing News Journalists is because people in general are untruthful, our society no longer has any real integrity.
Not trying to steal your thunder, there is no longer any accountability within any part of society. In your profession as a lawyer your objective is to seek the truth and in my profession as a journalist my objective is also to seek the truth. So we both share the same objective is to ultimately discover what the truth is. So I feel your pain, I have empathy and sympathy for your cause to restore truthfulness within society in order to have true accountability for all people.

My Experiences On Qoto Mastodon & My Interactions With The Administrator Of Qoto Dr. Freemo
By Monica Andrews, Interim Acting Editor-in-chief, Free Press Without Borders News
This Report will be posted on Free Press Without Borders News Websites
I report on social media, so I am looking at qoto.org, Qoto.org is a social media platform on the Mastodon Fediverse, Fediverse is a group of Mastodon Instances also known as servers which are independently owned and operated, they however can talk to each other via instance addresses much like email addresses, which allows for greater flexibility over traditional social media platforms such as Twitter renamed X.
Let me now discuss what I find to be interesting about qoto.org; it is uniquely centered around learning, currently qoto has approximately 26,642 users give or take at any given time, qoto has an easy user interface for beginners, this makes me very personally happy. I myself like the following introduction on qoto.org:
"Welcome to the QOTO instance
QOTO: "Question Others to Teach Ourselves An inclusive, Academic Freedom, instance All cultures welcome."
"I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others." - Socrates
"We are all adults here, act like it. Despite our belief in freedom of expression we want to create a space where people are respectful to each other. Don't disrespect people; if they disrespect you then block them and move on. If we get a report on one of our users then an administrator will reach out to the parties involved and try to mediate a peaceful resolution. We will talk it through like mature adults. Lets remember there is a person at the other end of the screen, if we can be mature in real life we can do it here too."
I, Monica Andrews, Investigative News Journalist currently am responsible for operating an account on qoto.org known as "Free Peoples Free Press" News. My first reaction to qoto.org had been utter confusion, I knew absolutely nothing about this type of free and open social media platform. Also I would like to clarify that not everyone considers Mastodon to be strictly defined as social media.
Is this a good instance? Qoto offers each user a peaceful area in which to define your personal user account, administrator and moderators usually do not interact with you unless you ask for help or violate qoto's basic rules of conduct.
As a news journalist I strive to be unbiased, which in this case is hard because I personally like the administrator of qoto.org, so let me say this, qoto has a lot of bells and whistles of which I really find great, one of the most important features is that posts can have up to a whopping 65535 characters which I find to be most important as a news journalist.
I feel like a car sales person giving a sales pitch when I say the following, qoto has standard features much like other Mastodon Instances on the Fediverse, what I think chiefly separates qoto from other instances, is qoto's focus on education, Dr. Freemo believes in people learning at every stage of their lives, he is at times an aggressive debater, he is always honest with his opinions, I do not always agree with him, he does try to live up to his own site rules of conduct.
I never contacted Dr. Freemo concerning preparing and posting any information concerning qoto.org. Dr. Freemo never solicited me to post any information concerning qoto.org.
I usually consider 2 important areas when reporting on social media platforms: 1. Technological Innovations and 2. Positive or Negative Social media atmosphere.
1. Qoto has great technological innovations as far as I can tell concerning the creation of toots (post) on Mastodon related instances on the Fediverse.
2. Qoto for the most part has a nice pleasant atmosphere for user accounts to communicate with other Qoto user accounts and other Mastodon Instances (servers) on Mastodon Fediverse.
So would I recommend Qoto.org: If you are a strong willed independent person who is looking to expand your knowledge base or help other people to educationally grow, qoto.org is the place to be. I would say that realistically that qoto has a positive focus on individual personal self improvement which is attractive to me. Dr. Freemo I believe is sincere about being fair to everyone who either has an account on qoto or interacts with qoto user accounts. Again I do not always agree with Dr. Freemo, he never hold it against me if I disagree with him.
In the final analysis, qoto.org administrator/moderators do not attempt to unduly influence people to change their beliefs. If you should choose to engage them in lively discussions, they will present/proffer their own individual views and opinions that are independent of qoto.org.

Dear Lonely Owl at freespeechextremist com: I must first be honest with myself before I can be honest with other people. I usually get a hint that I am wrong, then ignore it, it is almost equivalent to blocking or muting another social media account.
It is totally different in my journalist tradecraft; I always believe that I lack adequate and sufficient evidence necessary to publish news stories. Journalists must exercise reasonable due care and due diligence in attempting to gather and analyze information in question, so I usually am hesitant to admit that I am right. Because our profession requires us to be highly skilful in discovering the truth.
On a personal level, I tend to want to be right all of the time, I was speaking years ago with a journalist of great stature who told me that I must let go, stop being egotistical, if I want to be a successful journalist. This journalist said: "A competent journalist is always suspicious that the news story lacks sufficient corroborative and supportive facts up to the minutes and seconds the story actually goes to print."
I understand what you are saying, I still need much improvement concerning how I react to evidence that does not reflect my own word view.

Dear Gary Ackerman: Yes I hate to be wrong, so I will be slow to admit that I am wrong. So I know that you are correct. I have witnessed many people react positive and immediately admit their mistakes. Thank you for your insights.

In response to:
"Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's seat is a Republican stronghold, but his potential exit could prove to be an issue for GOP leadership until a special election is held."
Dear Axios at mastodon social: Kevin McCarthy's seat is a major far right political stronghold, I know because I am unfortunately under Kevin McCarthy's political jurisdictional influence. There exists enough far right U.S. House of Representatives to be able to compensate for Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's potential exit. I do not foresee an ultra radical far right leadership vacuum if McCarthy should exit. McCarthy never had popularity within the Republican Party to begin with. Republican Conference never gave him an internal inter party mandate.
McCarthy has always been perceived as carrying water for Donald J. Trump, McCarthy's only use has been a limited deal maker for maintaining cohesiveness within the ultra radical far right extremists, which McCarthy failed to maintain as U.S. House of Representatives Speaker. It is likely that the ultra radical far right extremists will create a new governing coalition once McCarthy departs.

"Its a lot of fun that I am starting a company from scratch and get to hire everyone and make all the rules... For example I am making sure that every single person I hire is comfortable with using linux and open-source tools, and writing documents in latex and markdown. Even management. It is pretty sweet!"
Dear Dr. Freemo: I hope that you will exercise patients with your new employees, you often seem to be angry at people on Mastodon, I believe that you are a highly intelligent person who will succeed at what you set out to do. I am not lecturing you on how to run a successful business, I am stating that you have apologized to the whole Mastodon Fediverse for your behavior on Mastodon. I just want you to reflect on your past apology to the whole Mastodon Fediverse, you at times lack adequate and sufficient patience with people on Mastodon Fediverse.
Although I have no right to tell you this, I am concerned that you will at times go overboard and be to demanding of your employees. So may be I am out of line for saying this, but I feel that it is worth saying, obviously we all toot (post) for replies, I believe that you are intensely psychologically driven to be a self motivated person. Be careful not to over compensate and destroy the morale of your employees. I am lecturing you on becoming more socially aware concerning management employee interactions. Which I am deeply concerned that you will push to hard and alienate your future prospective responsible managerial employees and subordinate employees.
Just be mindful that each person has value, yes they have feelings too and you must not let your own intense psychological drive to succeed be the proximate cause of your failure to recognize the importance of each and every employee's positive contribution to your new entrepreneurial endeavor.

Dear Dr. Freemo: You present a feasible plan on it’s face. Israel an Palestine must coexist one way or another. Your plan I believe can be implemented if U.S.A. and other NATO members convince Israel and Palestine that their fighting is futile and will eventually undermine their security within the region. Russia and China ultimately benefit financially and militarily from a weakened middle east.

Dear Dr. Freemo: I do not expect the U.N. to fix the problems and bring peace to the middle east, the U.N. is as weak as the League of Nations. I do understand that the Nation of Israel was artificially created. Palestinians should be able to seek, obtain self determination, become a viable independent sovereignty. So I can agree with you on this point. Free Democracies around the world must attempt to get U.N. action, even though I have no faith in the U.N., U.S.A. and other countries must force the issue before the U.N. General Assembly. Not just for political purposes, because we need to state our case before the U.N.. U.N. will then have no choice to make a decision, if you sits idle and will not act, then probably the U.S. and Russia will probably get into a lengthy political conflict in the region.
President Joseph Biden has already publicly made a commitment to support Israel, Biden made the classic mistake of showing your cards to the world.

Dear Casey Is Remote: We need the cooperation from free countries around the world to open up diplomatic channels of dialogue in order to get United Nations action. Russia will probably vote against any U.N. intervention, U.S. Has already intervened on behalf of Israel, Russia backs Iran and Iran supplies military weapons to Hamas. It is unlikely that the United Nations will be effective at resolving the Israel - Hamas War.

Dear Dr. Freemo: Israel has the legitimate right to defend it's homeland against Hamas, Israel has the right to counter attack Hamas for war crimes committed against the Jewish People there is no disagreement. The National Government of Israel is committing atrocities against the Palestinian People. Palestinians already live in overcrowded conditions at best, Palestinians are being caught in the cross fire between the aggressors Hamas and victims the Jewish People. Ordinary Palestinians have been denied, food, water and basic sanitary conditions due to Hamas viciously attacking the innocent people of Israel. So I am not blaming the average Israeli Citizen for committing war crimes against the Palestinian Citizens.
Everyone knows that in modern times militaries during war campaigns are supposed to try to protect innocent civilians where humanly possible from being injured and killed. IDF knows that Hamas has deliberately blocked Palestinians from escaping and fleeing from war torn areas, as a result many Palestinians have no escape route to seek refuge from being caught in the cross fire of both Hamas and Israel heavy artillery shelling.
The Israel - Hamas War is truly a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. 2 Million Palestinians with no escape from relentless attacks from opposing military armed forces. If this is not an active case of genocide what is?

Dear Dr. Freemo: Hamas has committed acts of genocide by attacking Israel and Israel has committed counter attacks which have resulted in acts of genocide. The free democratic countries of the world must come together to hold Hamas and Israel accountable for war crimes and terrorism. U.S.A. and other nations must intervene on humanitarian grounds to stop the bloodshed.

—All Thinking People of Conscience Everywhere
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

"This argument that we’re overreacting to MAGAs and trump is so mind numbingly stupid, I want to punch anyone advancing it. There is no way to watch this unprecedented Christo fascism seizing all of norms and governance, even the rule of law itself, and not see that democracy is in dire and immediate peril."
Dear Shoq at mastodon social: You are 100% on target, "democracy is in dire and immediate peril," What MAGA is doing is intentionally attempting to destroy U.S.A. principles of democracy. MAGA is doing this out in the open in plain sight, Trump openly supports dictators around the world such Russian President Vladimir Putin who is attempting to conquer Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has said publicly in the Russian Parliament that he vows to destroy the U.S.A.. It is totally nuts for anyone to politically support MAGA and Trump!
