The think of the children people are actually mocking privacy activists for imagining that the British Government might not use the anti-privacy powers in the OSB.

I suggest taking note of that and pushing against this bill even harder.

The OSB is still awful.

New members have been appointed to the Australian Classification Board. The previous ones were appointed by a very right wing government, so I doubt anyone will miss them.

I'd say it's an anime about cute girls being cute.

Jumping up in excitement is presumably her reaction to being the strongest, lol.

Arresting someone for posting spoilers has got to be the biggest abuse of criminal copyright laws so far. Surprising even for Japan.

"It’s OK to be a “HELLCAT,” but not a “HELLBOY.” Don’t tell anybody to “HLDMYBR,” but it’s fine to go on a “BEERRUN.” And don’t say “IH8U,” but “YUH8ME” is acceptable.

Those are some of the inconsistencies in state government’s evaluation of specialized vehicle license plate requests, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota. The ACLU sent a letter to state officials Tuesday citing what the organization described as actual examples of approvals and denials."

"However, there was another bill we wrote about that got a bit less attention: AB 587 which was pitched as a “transparency” bill."

It also requires that companies have policies in place to deal with 1st Amendment protected content, even though the government can’t legislate that."

"But history has shown time and time again that in highly dynamic and emerging areas of innovation, no one is particularly good at accurately weighing the risks and benefits, and being overly proscriptive about that technology, often means trying to prevent a harm that is not really at risk, while limiting many of the benefits."
