Why does the US not have severe penalties for threatening anyone? Or do they?

This wasn’t already the case?

I remember when Bitcoin first came out and one of the selling points of bitcoin was that literally anyone could trace the transfers using the wallet codes and what not no? I don’t ever remember there being claims that it was untraceable at least as the selling point to the average consumer. There was even tools in like 2012 for tracking whether stuff internally in bitcoin was stolen or whatever…

“While the taint analysis tool aims at measuring the “correlation” between two addresses, there is another notion of taint in the Bitcoin community which refers to the percentage of bitcoins, that come from a known theft or scam and have been blacklisted by popular exchange markets. For example, in 2012 the bitcoin exchange Mt.Gox froze accounts of customers, who owned bitcoins that could be directly related to such an incident [20].” https://maltemoeser.de/paper/money-laundering.pdf

What da hell…

What a responsible young man I hope nothing bad happens after he shows up.

Goddamn what is going on in France…

Israel try not to piss away positive feelings towards them challenge IMPOSSIBLE.

I still don’t understand why this became a hot button issue…

Note: Found the one big thing I wanted in the ACLU stuff but I’m not reading through the Vice News report at this moment: As Vice News reported, “The few published studies looking into the impacts of [student surveillance] tools indicate that they may have the effect [of] breaking down trust relationships within schools and discouraging adolescents from reaching out for help.”83 Ironically, the same tools the EdTech Surveillance industry is promoting as a means for identifying students in need of help may actually be dis-couraging those students from reaching out to school officials and other adults for help when they need it.

The table in the ACLU report is kind of interesting. I mean, I was confused about the could be shared with law enforcement and the could be used to discipline my friends but then seeing the Could be used to identify trans/reproductive health makes those amounts completely understandable as well as the undocumented statement.

• I always feel like I’m being watched 32%
• How it could be used to discipline me or my friends 27%
• What our school and companies they contract with do with the data (such as sell it, analyze it, etc.) 26%
• How it limits what resources I feel I can access online 24%
• Could be shared with law enforcement 22%
• Could be used against me in the future by a college or an employer 21%
• Could be used to identify students seeking reproductive health care (such as contraception or abortion care) 21%
• Could be used to identify students seeking gender-affirming care (such as transgender students seeking hormones) 18%
• Could be used against immigrant students, especially those who are undocumented 18%
• How it limits what I say online 17%
• Could be used to “out” LGBTQIA+ students 13%
• I have no concerns regarding surveillance in my school 27%

Good job Poland 👍

CONGRATS~

Common China internet L.

Congrats to them? 🎉 🎉

I very much doubt their house even has windows so this seems incredibly untrue.

Seems like from reading this the answer is if there is it’s popped mostly and if there isn’t then things will continue on as is maybe getting slightly worse.

This case as a whole was brought to bear a few days after February 24th (the start of the “non-proxy war”) and thus the overall claims would not be in regards to them but just originally about the justification.

But the argument being talked about in the post that Ukraine is using is that even if they were committing a genocide that Russias war would still be invalid and Russia should pull out of the country.

Like these arguments really don’t relate to that situation…

What? Russia made those claims sure. Ukraine is making the argument that even if this claim was true they wouldn’t be allowed to invade Ukraine which honestly I really really FUCKING don’t like as a claim. The only purpose of this entire thing is just to get better settlement in the peace settlement after the war. It’s honestly a really EHH situation to me that doesn’t show much.

Also why are you bringing PCM into it at all PCM was pro-Ukraine as far as I remember?

Oh this is just a way for Ukraine to get better settlement after the war ends… That’s a shame.
