It's insane to me to see so many other countries have ways to verify you're a citizen of the country when going to vote, but in America it's such a controversial issue that anybody mentioning it is immediately bombarded with

Funny how the power to stop terrorist content is being used to prevent the free flow of information.

The Chinese are laughing because Australia has become more like China in terms of surveillance and monitoring in the past decade.

I wonder if the legislation they passed within 24 hours allowing police to read/delete/edit social media posts of anybody without warrants is related to the australian truckers blocking off major highways in the past couple of day

I love how society's been duped into believing that having a company take away something you've paid potentially tens of thousands of dollars for without any form of compensation is perfectly okay and has nothing wrong with it. Go

It's scary to think you pay however many thousand of dollars for a feature, only to have the company you paid take it away from you because they don't like how you're using it. Why do people think this is okay?

It's all about getting more control over people at this point. Society is reactive rather than proactive - I'm just wondering when the proverbial bear will be poked one too many times before people finally say 'enough is enou

I would not want anybody to have their rights forcefully restricted under penalty of being locked up for an indefinite amount of time. I would also not want the military to tell it's own citizens to stay in their houses and not be able

It's something we're going to see time and time again with companies that dominate a non-IT based industry trying to pivot and incorporate IT into their company. I'm not sure how we're going to address these issues. I do

Balance of rights means nobody has rights. If you need to "balance" the rights (read: take them away) of somebody to equal the scale, then rights don't exist in the first place.

It's an infrastructure bill but it's got waaaaay more than infrastructure in it. I wonder if congress even has time (or if they even want to lmao) to read the thing in its entirety.

Strange how the medical system trusts these people enough to parrot the mantra of "this vaccine is safe and effective", let alone actually administer it!

Articles can be written with any viewpoint you want - it just depends on where you get the information from and who massages it to further push their opinion onto you.

Right-wing, yes - but not white supremacist. If you're conflating those two things I think you need to re-evaluate the political spectrum and realize it's a lot more varied than you think.

How is a gay asian man a white supremacist? Please give your sources. That's a bit of a bold claim, especially without providing evidence.

I'm sure they have. What they haven't done is adjust spacetime so that we know what the vaccine could potentially do - a year down the line? two years? We literally do not know. At all. We can make educated guesses. At that point

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we find out that NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. are all spying on United States citizens. Maybe not _directly_ but through work-arounds like purchasing/subpoenaing aggregate user information from places like

I would assume China is monitoring all their Hong Kong citizens and carefully scrutinizing them for any dissident behaviour before they even think of letting them leave the country.

From what I understand, the network/algorithm is designed to prevent this from happening - either due to massively huge egress costs (I think you need to 'upload' the whole plot to the network after you have a verified proof)
