Unless blue people moving to Texas and Florida flip those states blue, in which case red might be done for good.

The Ars article on this said Google had been disclosing this for the past decade already whereas Apple didn't.

You can de-Google an Android phone with a custom ROM and have a phone that you have control over and know nobody is spying on you by running a firewall on the phone.

Can't do that on an Apple.

Lol sounds like this increases tax revenues by increasing the number of addicted smokers buying cigarettes and then taxing the sales.

Really sound government policy there.

But ironically in this case, it means someone who illegally rebeled in support of an authoritarian overthrow of democracy is given another chance to support authoritarianism.

That doesn't sound nearly as hard hitting to me personally. Doesn't include the attack on the Republicans for making this happen.

It doesn't seem like neo-Nazism in this case but rather the long standing hate by Muslims if it makes any difference. From the news coverage I've seen of this, it seems like it was a mob of Muslims waving Palestinian flags.

Amount of time before ban citing vague security risks like car technology could somehow be used by the military....3, 2, 1....

The French government has reported 24 arrests for more than 100 antisemitic acts in France since Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, including verbal abuse, people caught with knives near Jewish schools and synagogues and a drone equipped with a camera spotted over a Jewish cultural center.

This is the best they could come up with to hype up the threat and justify the crackdown on freedom of expression?

Is there even an allegation that the drone with a camera, aka basically all drones, was related to anything nefarious? Or could this just be a case where a hobbyist was flying the $25 toy drone he just bought but now that's antisemitic because it was over a Jewish cultural center.

I'm sure this has been commented a lot but my first time seeing it, wow the leaker's name is actually Littlejohn as in Robin Hood's right hand man.

This is total BS and people are upvoting it just because it sounds truthy.

Piracy links? Yeah, sure.

Archive links? Like OP said, even corporate Reddit allows those. The risk to a Lemmy instance from allowing this is literally zero. There is a rule of lawsuits among lawyers that you always look for the deep pockets because you can't get anything from a lawsuit if the defendant can't pay. There is no way Lemmy.world would be sued for this before Reddit, which actually has money to pay with. That's even setting aside the notion that linking to archives could be found to constitute copyright infringement.

Seconded. The lack of hide here for individual posts is one of my biggest friction points in using Lemmy.
