Doing it for personal use, without profit or gain, is supposedly illegal. Doing it for profit certainly appears to be legal.

It’s really shocking to me, from the US, that this is a compulsory fee and not a tax. It’s like they want people to hate and resent it. I guess it hurts poor people? IDK.

We saw a very sophisticated attack on Linux earlier this year with the XZ exploit. That stuff is terrifying and the sort of thing people should be worried about. SELinux is tame, by comparison.

Yeah that telecommunications part is working out great right now, huh? Well, i guess we just gotta keep fighting them.

Who knows? But they can look like they’re doing something, at least.

Maybe interpol doesn’t know China is straight up kidnapping people of the street in foreign (non-China) countries? Maybe they want to do something about that?

No?

Okay, then. Of course they’re prioritizing someone downloading some jpgs, why would i think differently?

Critically, the elites want this “solved” asap.

Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)

Technically they didn’t fully rescind it. They rescinded it in some places but not others, and for some patients but not others. It’s just PR, they have no intention of actually changing things.

Elections were the deal. We’d vote for representatives and abide by their decisions rather than, y’know, killing people in the streets to change society.

When elections can’t change society, though. When the deal is broken, it’s back to the old ways.

Well this is going to go extremely poorly.

Same :o

Sounds like the exact kind of entitled, whiny man babies i was expecting.

People should use better sources and call out the ADL when it’s used but they’re right on this. This information predates their current madness.

The SPLC’s information is, unfortunately, nowhere near as comprehensive but they also list it. As does Wikipedia.

Anyone using “Austria 88” knows exactly what they’re doing. No way you put that together by chance.

Honestly it’s looking increasingly likely but i’m still holding out hope.

Once you fire up a webpage it’ll just dump garbage all over the couch.

Got any recommendations?

It’s following the Amazon monopolization model.

I don’t want to encourage paranoia here but “off” does not mean “off”. Modern phones are almost never actually “powered down”. If you’re paranoid, turning your phone off is not enough. Leave it behind.

(Also a gap in your phone’s location history can also be used against you, fwiw.)

“The fourth amendment means what we say it means” – SCOTUS, probably.
