I'd think that timber planted for that purpose would not be counted as deforestation. Just like paper is made from Eucalypti which is rare to grow naturally or with other species.

You are implying there is an actual industry of producing child porn and filling in quotas and receiving payment in some form, I don't think that's the case. In any case, people that watch (many) speeches of Hitler are also the ta

No I don't. When I share a book on how to teach people to make bombs like the Anarchy Cookbook, I don't have to consider intent at all. Why is CP different? CP, violent and hateful content are shared for a myriad of reasons, some

Ones and zeroes in my own property are not influencing anything in the "real world". If I use them and they are a virus and damage computer systems, that is a crime. If I made the virus just to learn about hacking, that should be

Yes but it shouldn't. Sharing some bad videos is considered bad, like child porn or NZ shooting. Sharing others is fine, like beheadings, other terror attacks, war footage. Making violent videogames is fine (see most FPS), but if they

Acquiring child porn doesn't have to be any more difficult than acquiring videos of beheadings and other vile acts. It was only made difficult to acquire out of puritanism, there's nothing intrinsic about it that suggests you have

Yes. You should not go to jail just for having some specific sequences of ones and zeroes on a magnetic device on your home. You should go to jail if you do actual crimes, you know, with real victims. Not imaginary victims that don't k

A quick google search reveals they apparently have their own SWIFT now.¹ It is ran side by side with SWIFT, not as a competitor, so the claim that it is from fear of sanctions or other actions from the US seems accurate. [1] https:/&#

Yes please. All monopolies are damaging to consumers, capitalism and democracy. Please do away with as many as possible. The only notable exceptions are business areas where the physical constraints force a single company to operate, like s

And yet now every media outlet and pundit blames everything on the proliferation of fake news made possible because of easy access to sharing ideas. History does repeat itself.

In these cases I'm always reminded of an Obama speech he made shortly after the beginning of the Edward Snowden disclosures, where he guaranteed in national television that the US did not spy on national citizens. Imagine that, not bei

In some countries being gay is punishable by death. It doesn't mean your walled garden app store having an app to find and punish gay people is OK.

I personally feel many things in AWS are purposely made in order to hide the real costs from you. For instance how you are charged for S3 traffic your buckets receive even if you don't have any files there. Or how traffic between zones

Chromecast didn't even need a Google account a while back. Now (last few years) it forces it on you for no discernible reason. Supposedly now you can use their Google Home app to search for apps to install that work with Chromecast, wh

This breaks so much stuff. So many websites use #something for a myriad of purposes. And it's their discretion, their website. I've never even seen #arg=val used in URIs ever, so nothing would be expecting that. Or #arg1=val1&
