https://bookriot.com/hoopla-overdrive-libby-now-banned-for-those-under-18-in-mississippi/ Took a glance. Clearly unconstitutional.
I hope someone files a lawsuit.

I just had a very interesting situation with Pinterest. Remember them? They notified me that one of my years old pins had been removed for violating the “adult content policy.“ Within 10 minutes they sent another email that said the pin had been “reviewed and restored,” but warning that if any more of my pins violated policies I could lose my account. There’s a strike against me, though I did nothing wrong.
I smell automated moderation at work.
This was the pin.

Apparently, zoning officials in Corvallis, Oregon don't like someone giving food and other supplies to the homeless, because the presence of the homeless makes the city look unsightly.
Similar to the thing you'd use to capture ghosts in Ghostbusters.
The Daleks look like something you'd use to clean the floor.
Perhaps, after all those years doing that, they turned evil, and want to kill everyone.

Apparently, Nepal permits same sex marriage now, which sounds good.
I made a small mistake in the first paragraph which led to the omission of important context. I've fixed that.
The Ars case (*that* guy) contrasts with another case I saw where someone sort of asked questions along those lines, and got answers (someone was patient enough to tell them why society prohibits that).
They never did something like that, thankfully.
Last I heard of that person though, they were dead. It was a suicide. Suicide. No clue why. Well, maybe there was kinkshaming, not a fan of that tbh.
Someone asked me a question about whether "child rapists" have rights.
Uh, it's important to recognize that sometimes you have to protect the rights of people like that, to defend them for everyone else.
Despite that, I haven't really commented on their rights, in particular.
@trinsec "it's the will of the people! we've got to do it!"
I suspect much of their obsession with doing it has to do with bolstering support for their party in a world which has become more liberalized.
@admitsWrongIfProven They, presumably, went out of their way to protect their users' privacy from harassing lawsuits.
That sounds good to me, although they're still awful people (who have gotten too much cred from gestures like this).
If I ever feel suicidal, I suppose there is always the option of hiring an OceanGate sub to just end it.

This week the European Court of Human Rights found that using facial recognition to locate and arrest a protester travelling in Moscow violated the right to #freedomofexpression and #privacy.
An important victory in fighting the illiberal use of #facialrecognition. #surveillance

I'm seeing quite a bit of the Dutch Party D66 at the E.U. in opposition to the Chat Stasi.
Remember that the whole reason the Tories did Brexit was because David Cameron ran a referendum as a publicity stunt to get re-elected.
The U.K. does not exist.
Looks like NetChoice is suing Arkansas over their unconstitutional social media "age verification" law.
It looks like the Dutch Government has collapsed after a row over migration.
