The only truly public land in SL is Linden owned land but then, you already know that.

 

That is an apt summation - These things are already known but some need their 'fix' ....

Right, not a true force but a virtual one wherein an avatar is "forced" to change their location relative to the virtual position they held before.

The legal definitions of force and space are physical. There is no physicality in SL, so there is no force, no space, no location, no position.

Every place you think you have visited in SL is actually a service of delivering data to your computer from a database in LL's rented AWS servers. The LL Terms of SERVICE explain our rights to access this service and to control access to those portions of the service we rent with intent to display our private intellectual property (and that property we license from others). On the flip side of your argument, I can imagine that preventing users from controlling access to their private intellectual property might constitute compelled speech.

So what? Technically there is still a push and pull of data and as an ejection of an avatar to Home for example will still  necessitate a data transfer from one physical server to another, thereby requiring "work' in the form of cpu cycles, and network packets transferred by electrical force.

There are also software physics engines to allow an avatar to "move" from one relative location to another. Thinks that the legal definitions may have to catch up to include virtual spaces as a Metaverse increasingly because a virtual reality.

If LL puts the type of restrictions you are suggesting then you can see SL plummet right into the Blake Sea.  No worries though cause it will never happen.

Spin it however you'd like but no one is physically putting hands on anyone in SL.  Flinging an avatar across the grid hurts nothing but your feelings.  

This feels like another one of those Don Quixote moments.

Certainly was interesting to be on the SJW side of the fence and seeing all but one of the usual suspects only willing to support their own pet minorities.

I'm not sure what kind of exercise you have taken us on, Arielle. I am perplexed.

*Throws you a bottle of tequila and grabs your ice cream*  That ice cream looks too good to pass up!

Now I'm going to get some real ice cream out of the fridge, because of this thread!

Equal rights for all. Start discriminating in a virtual world, how much more is one discriminating in the real world when one can get away with it.

If we're doing summaries, here's one that takes two seconds.

If you don't like the Terms of Service, you can Cancel your Second Life Account.

It's one of those "shaker" exercisers that makes it look like you're doing something naughty.

That's not what the SL Jedi were telling me.

I think that this thread has now run its course, since any further attempts to keep it on topic seem likely to prove as fruitless as the last one.
