I don't agree with being harassed by the police over something that's literally not a crime. But I'm not sure why GBNews would be grifting with it. Conservatives have been in power in the UK for 12 years now and they've

I wouldn't say it's the beginning. There's nothing new about it. Apparently the police have recorded over 100000 incidents of 'non-crime hate crimes'. I like Andrew Doyle quote on this: > In this new woke era, ou

Very off topic, but this really bugs me. The last clip there is a portrait orientation video inside a landscape inside a portrait inside a landscape. The remaining video appears on my 24 inch monitor at the physical size of a phone.

I don't understand the reasoning. If Ukraine isn't openly acknowledging the attack doesn't it mean that it's respecting the orcs' "red line" of not attacking what they consider Russia?

Company towns weren't a monopoly either. You could always walk outside town and enjoy your free speech there. But free speech laws applied because they functioned as public places. Facebook is such a public place. Additionally, Faceboo

There's no moral grandstanding. Some people just think you shouldn't be able to be so rich. The reason you are is because the masses allow you the privilege. You might as well be graceful about it.

The US specifically passed the law to bypass due process. If you think a warrant should apply from an outside jurisdiction imagine Mississippi issuing a warrant to arrest a Californian abortion doctor.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Do you mean that each individual is supposed to know where every site is based instead of having country-wide/EU-wide protections in place?

If you store data in your own country with non-American companies you're protected by your country's judicial system. If you use an American company or American-based company you're subject to illegal spying from the NSA or e
