La troisième République, dans sa période libérale a voté de grandes lois, comme celles citées par @jdomerchet. Elles sont tellement bien que le @Conseil_constit les protège désormais, comme principes fondamentaux reconnus par les lois de la république. C'est précisément à l'occasion d'une tentative d'atteinte à la loi de 1901 que le Conseil constitutionnel a consacré en 1970 son rôle de protecteur des libertés constitutionnelles. Il protège la liberté d'association, la laïcité, la liberté de la presse, la liberté syndicale, tous ces acquis de la Troisième. Sans le Conseil constitutionnel que fustige @jdomerchet, les lois qu'il encense ne seraient plus là car elles ont toutes été attaquées.
Et la Troisième République, au premier attentat anarchiste, a aussi voté les lois scélérates sous le coup de l'émotion. Il n'y avait pas de Conseil constitutionnel pour l'arrêter.
La Troisième République est morte en refilant illégalement les pleins pouvoirs à un dictateur antisémite. Il n'y avait pas de Conseil constitutionnel pour constater cette illégalité.
Le @Conseil_constit ne vient pas de nulle part. Il est né de ces erreurs et surtout des conséquences de ces erreurs. Idem pour la CEDH d'ailleurs. L'amnésie est un luxe que les démocraties ne peuvent pas se permettre.

Interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux mineurs de 15 ans : Le @Conseil_constit censure sèchement le texte.

Car le législateur a fixé une interdiction générale et absolue qui frappe tous les mineurs & tous les services de communication.

Sans considération des risques véritables.

« à quoi reconnaît-on un système politique en phase terminale de pourrissement moral » ?

Par exemple au fait comme ici de faire porter principalement sur les réseaux sociaux le mal-être des adolescents plutôt qu’au fait qu’on leur met la pression dès la 3e pour trouver des stages en entreprise en oubliant que ce sont encore des enfants, qu’on leur bourre le chou avec ParcoursSup qui est une boîte noire des plus anxiogènes, qu’ils voient l’IA mettre en doute leurs projets professionnels, qu’ils voient leurs frères et sœurs galérer à trouver du boulot alors qu’ils ont fait de bonnes études, qu’ils voient leurs parents en burn-out et eux aussi galérer pour payer les fins de mois alors qu’ils ont un boulot, qu’à la TV ils voient des gens qui détestent leurs potes Mouloud et Yasmine, quand c’est pas carrément eux Mouloud ou Yasmine, que les assos de leur quartier ont fermé faute de subventions, qu’ils se demandent comment ils vivront quand ils auront 45 ans et qu’il fera autant de degrés que leur âge , etc., etc.

Oui, les réseaux sociaux peuvent amplifier des problèmes. Tout comme ils peuvent apporter une respiration à des jeunes qui y parlent de leurs passions, rencontrent des jeunes bien plus intéressants que ceux qui les harcèlent dans le bus et à l’école, découvrent des contenus plus intéressants qu’Hanouna…

Vouloir les interdire, plutôt que d’aider les jeunes à les utiliser de la manière la plus positive possible, au mépris de l’idée même de liberté publique, voilà le pourrissement moral.

Sinon, au lieu de perdre du temps à faire des lois idiotes, qui seront censurées par le Conseil Constitutionnel et ne changeront rien à la santé mentale dégradée des mineurs, on peut transposer NIS 2 ?

@PlayStation You know what's also iconic? Physical games and your famous video highlighting how to share them. Back when you still pretended to care about offering a good service. Maybe remember that this and your customers are what made you successful. Show some respect!

GTA CEO says "discs don't make sense to the consumer".

Made a lot of sense during the recent outages. Make a lot of sense on Christmas. Will continue to make sense for every delisted song in a GTA game.

How much more gaslighting suits does it take for gamers to wake up?

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

@PlayStation Biggest release of the year will be released as a throwaway rental and you push the gaming world further down into the same abyss. No customer rights, no ownership, no preservation, zero respect for fans and artists. Do you want this to be your legacy?

Alors désolée, au contraire je souhaite voter pour ceux qui réfléchissent et comprennent qu’il faut cesser d’accélérer et que le bonheur collectif et individuel ne se trouvent pas dans une course effrénée sans réfléchir aux conséquences.

During today's earnings call Sony for the first time in a month reacted to the backlash against their attack on physical media. And it went about the way we expected. Let's analyze it.
(Disclaimer: We are going off of the official English translation in the clip provided. It wasn't that long of a statement, but there might be minor inaccuracies in there.)

First of all, they seem to emphasize that 18 months ahead of time is a respectable period to give notice. No comment on the fact that basically everyone was surprised by their announcement coming this soon, while PS5 is still going strong.

Then they dive into the reasons. They claim there are "various", the biggest one being that "digitalization of contents overall has been progressing". This is a clear shift in language. Initially, they blamed it directly on consumer habits. We've shown how that reasoning doesn't fully hold up when looking at the numbers.

Then they claim that digitalization does not only impact PlayStation, but "all kinds of content". And that is true. It has been on the rise for quite some years now. At the same time, this conveniently ignores any and all counter trends in recent years. It is a statement that makes it sound like their direction is inevitable on a global scale. But their direction is absolute. Their goal is to kill physical media entirely for games, while basically all other major entertainment sectors have at least a strong niche remaining, with various indicators that physical media is actually growing again. The recent Capcom report saw a 133 % rise compared to the same period of last year. The overall spending is up for physical games compared to the previous year (admittedly, aided by the Switch 2 release). Sony's own physical split last quarter is up, both compared to the quarter before and the same period last year. More and more signs point to a stable plateau of physical buyers at the very least.

The call continues and they drop the big one. A few seconds of stuttering followed by, "We put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this, and we came to this conclusion, and we are cautiously going to move this forward."

They are not really giving any insights here. It is a "trust me, bro" in business speak. At the same time, if we take these words at face value, it means they are aware of the consequences, but do it anyway.

Endangering retailers across the globe by removing one of the biggest entertainment brands from the portfolio? Fuck them.
Removing a choice for consumers who were loyal to the PlayStation brand? Fuck them.
Stripping developers of an additional revenue stream and the chance to immortalize their art? Fuck them.
Forcing all remaining customers into an ecosystem without customer protection legislation? Fuck them too.

What thoughts did they put in exactly?

The only word that might give hope is "cautiously". But even that could be read in two ways. Either they are more cautious not to spark more backlash, but they want to continue regardless. Or they are actually waking up to the fact that this might cause more harm to them than they initially anticipated.

They follow up with "to this decision we have received various opinions and people have strong views" and how games are loved and connected to memories. The speaker claims that they "understand those emotions". Really?
Why are they calling it emotions when there is a long list of legitimate criticism entirely rooted in facts, though? Because they don't want to acknowledge the facts. Sony tries to paint the backlash as emotional without substance. As completely unfounded in anything tangible.

After this bit, they immediately continue to starting damage control for the future and start talking about the "future digital ecosystem". Again, in a manner that makes it sound without an alternative. "How do we engage the gamers, is something we would like to continue to explore", they say. What is that supposed to mean, you ask? It's entirely talking about how they can continue to boil the frog. This part of the statement was not revolving around giving customers anything. Our best guess is that it is the attempt to indirectly address the monopoly criticism, and that there is no customer protection in an all-digital future, and that customers will be entirely at the mercy of the platform with zero control over purchased goods.

With this statement the clip concludes. The overall tone remained. Cold, distant, no real explanations, no apologies for the past weeks either.

But they did get a message. It had some impact. They ran damage control here. 100 % confidence would look different. But they won't correct course for now.

It is up to us to continue. If anything, we need to step it up now. #PSBlackout is just one of those steps. Many more need to be taken. This needs a collective effort from all gamers, regardless of how you like to play your games.

@PlayStation Stable servers this time? Or do you want demonstrate more of the downsides of the future you want to force everyone into? Maybe delete accounts or remove games from people's libraries without giving reasons or refunds? Give the people what they want! Keep physical games alive!

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

@PlayStationCA No disc, no support. It's that simple. We want to be treated with respect and not as wallets to drain. And we want to see the art your partners create treated with respect and not a throwaway rental.
