  'I’m sure there had been some back and forth with YouTube’s support' Tim you know they don't actually have support, they have a jr exec who gets slapped when the public outcry for them doing something stupid grows large enough that they care.

  Iger is a known liar. He promised EVERYTHING would be on Disney+ and well 'Song of the South' is still to touchy for the US market (meanwhile they sell it on DVD in other countries where slavery isn't as frowned upon) & a bunch of the war films are missing because they might be seen a the racist shit they are. We earned this... no, no you didn't. You are squeezing consumers more & more because you think you have the whole market locked down... you'd be shocked how many people do not feel that access to Disney properties isn't that important when having that access hurts their bottom line that much. But good luck on getting bonuses and raises as you manage to piss off a consumer base that might decide right quick you're not worth the cost.

  "They then sent her CSAM over iMessage and got her to create and send them back CSAM of herself." So in this magical world, in these lawyers minds, there is a detection tool that can identify never before seen content as being CSAM? How do you know they sent actual CSAM, did you get the client it send it to you?

• On the post: Texas School Thinks It Can Solve Student Mental Health Issues By Banning Black Clothing

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 17 Aug, 2024 @ 02:29am

  Editor - 2nd para the w just hanging out there all on its own needs supervision. I almost choked once eating food, we should ban it! I so look forward to ascots making a comeback at the school so that kids can wear almost all black but a pop of color with their ascot. Its within the rules. The first time a teacher wears a black dress someone call 911 shes gonna kill herself. Worse than the asshole promoting this idea is the parents who believe that somehow this has addressed anything about mental health issues facing kids. It also speaks to the simpleness of human thinking that somehow banning the dressing in 1 color will solve anything.

  That in which I make a comment that most read as me mocking KBI & the entire law enforcement system in Kansas being unable to do their job at the end because they screwed it up so badly at the start. So even cops very high on pot could do a better job in this situation. Derp.

  But screaming very loudly that they did it for this other reason gets me more donated cash and sympathy from rubes I have already suckered into my world tour of trying to kill children by lying about vaccines to their parents. Thank bob that there isn't a law that will hold me responsible for those dead kids in Samoa, that I encouraged the parents to abuse by lying about vaccines to them. How many more kids need to die before we can call this what it is, crimes against humanity.

• On the post: Australian Feds Spent More Than $500,000 Trying To Lock Up An Autistic 13-Year-Old On Terrorism Charges

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 16 Aug, 2024 @ 12:11am

  Humans reward based on the headlines. We stopped a terrorist who was going to do something horrible!!! Pay no attention to how much we assisted him on that path towards doing things, and we shouldn't feel bad b/c our boss told us she was proud of our work on this very hard case of making sure none of the social safety net helped a disabled CHILD before things went horribly wrong. We got our headline, we got our commendation in our file, we're gonna get a pay bump and all it cost was 1 (pick a slur any slur) going to prison... until that evil Judge looked at the 'evidence' and asked what the fsck we thought we were doing trying to create a terrorist to get headlines.

  Drunky McDrive into the school building has thoughts. I have thoughts to about how a sitting Judge gets 2 DUIs & MAAAAGICALLY the cases vanished from the face of the earth. She drove a car into a school, but has never appeared in court for doing so. Corrupt town in corrupt state really needs to get its shit together, perhaps the DoJ could visit them and explain how to law. Still waiting for the CBI report, because even with legal pot in Colorado I still think their officers might do a damn site better in finding the truth & facts in this clusterfuck.

  Because children have NEVER EVER in the entire history of the country had sex before marriage. We can't teach consent, but we accept that if you are good enough at football you can force any cheerleader into your bed once shes drunk enough. We can't mention HPV or the vaccine, because it might encourage them to have sex & well we are pulling out all of the stops to make sure that sex before marriage can be fatal. We can't teach children the accurate names of their body parts, because if they know the correct names it unlocks the door for Satan. We can't teach what a bad touch is, because knowing what that is just invites them to go looking for the bad touch. We can't have female hygiene products in bathrooms at school, because us men folk think they are icky & used to gain some pleasure and there is no way thats gonna happen on our watch. Politicians who believe that rape is inevitable & the girl should just lay back and enjoy it, saying we can't inform them of the morning after pill, STI testing, that boys will lie to get laid, that you can't think hes to young to not be clean... I suggest that we pass a 'Parental Rights' bill federally. If your child gets knocked up you have to raise it for them. If your child gets an STI, you have to pay for it out of your own damn pocket. If your child gets a preventable disease thats going to kill them... things should not be looking good for you. Kids have sex, if you want them to or not. Sometimes they even do it willingly, and sticking your head in the sand pretending if we don't talk about it its not real doesn't work. All of the children in the state shouldn't have to suffer because a few of you loudmouthed assholes are offended by giving kids information that they need and could save their life.
