That should be super illegal.
No. It is super illegal but didn’t you know that as long as you tape a sign that says “digital” or equivalent on an illegal thing, is suddenly a new thing and can’t be handled with the current rules. Everyone knows that! It’s why we have illegal taxis, hotels, and spy networks all in the palm of your hand. Isn’t the future great?
@chuckleslord @RedGreenBlue @SallyStrange “New startup Fraudr aims to disrupt the marketplace for false advertising”
@Unixbigot @chuckleslord @RedGreenBlue @SallyStrange Oddly enough, this service doesn’t actually manage to do what it claims in its advertising.
@chuckleslord @RedGreenBlue the future might be great, it’s the present that’s worrying me. Oh, and the future, that’s a worry too.

@chuckleslord @RedGreenBlue not a bad scam considering back in the 90s and 00s a ton of garbage patents were granted for “(obvious established real-world thing) but on a computer” leading to a bunch of blatantly fraudulent lawsuits that some Texas dumbasses said were valid *coughbecausetheywerepaidoffcough* for some reason
Folks making and enforcing laws are amazingly vulnerable to fundamentally meaningless semantics when there’s money to be made

Should be, but it’s not. It’s discrimination, but discrimination is perfectly legal as long as it’s not done on the basis of one of the handful of protected classes (race, sex, religion, etc.)
