• On the post: Streisand Effect Still Applies Even If You Steal Every Copy Of A Newspaper To (You Believe) Protect A ‘Victim’

  But its what 1 dude imagines they were reporting. They tend to not name victims in these types of cases so before hanging them maybe see the actual article itself before just assuming the paper grabber is a saintly good guy doing gods work.

  "I was appalled by the graphic details reported; I would never want this information to come out about someone I cherish." Oh you poor thing, imagine how she felt having those graphic things done to her & you making sure that people could remain ignorant of exactly how horrible the things the rapists were alleged to have done were. Did she ask you to do this or were you just trying to "protect" her? It happened to someone you cherish enough that you can't even ask what SHE wants, how SHE feels, but it made you feel bad so off you went. "It was irresponsible to publish this without the consent of the victim and without links to resources." Is he next going to try to make sure the court records are sealed? Links to resources, such as? I don't have a study but I have to think that dudes who gang rape, IN THE FAMILY HOME, aren't first time offenders. Having seen what has happened in other cases, a victim coming forward and saying it happened to me sometimes gives courage to the others who have been raped by these scum. One might have some questions about how the chief can sleep through assaults & underage drinking in his home. Where did the booze come from, how did you miss the booze missing, if they weren't stealing your stash how did you miss a local store selling to kids? I'm sure your selfish petty reasons will make the victim feel way less awkward in all of this, I mean you made it national news...

  No it is about creating a way for them to bully the press into not covering them in ways they dislike. Cover them accurately, but in a way they dislike they will sue you into the ground. They want to make the reporter have to prove the facts & automatically claim use of an anonymous source always means they are lying. Their supporters call in death threats to members of congress, judges, elected officials, in far flung locations because they dared claim the rule of law is the same for everyone, that no the sky isn't purple, Trump isn't well hung, etc etc etc... Once upon a time proposing a law this batshit over the line would have gotten someone somewhere checking to see if the sponsor had recently had a stroke, now they cheer on destroying the alleged bedrock of the country so we can go back to being a christian nation where the white people can relax on their plantations again.

• On the post: ExTwitter Accused Of Secretly Boosting Mr. Beast Video With Undisclosed Ad Placements

  To the best of his knowledge.... He doesn't think his cars drive into semis. He doesn't think his team blamed consumers for his shitty parts. He didn't totally fake the self driving demo. His cars didn't have a problem with steering wheels not being attached. He isn't an emerald mine neo-baby. His children love him. X is making all kinds of money. X is not overrun with spam bots. That going to Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro would look like a really stupid face saving move. That there is no reason to not put hyperloop tunnels in FL. Something something paycheck requires him to not see it.

  Bitch please. People flag you because you add nothing to the experience and shockingly your posts are still there for people to see & decide if you actually are a fuckwit that is best ignored. Moderation queue... oooh scary. I guess you never noticed that I bitch about hitting moderation a lot so if it was a secret plot why would they subject their pet sociopath to it? "lost posts" oooh spooky.... welcome to the moderation queue & given the stupidity you've manage to spew so far I can see why it might be a hard call if your posts are spam or not. "while having large private generic speech platforms performing the same censorship is fine." Allow me to insert the common refrain that you seem to have missed, if you show up at someones home, hop up on the dinner table, & take a dump they can throw you out & not ever let you return. You do not have a right to say how people can run their own places or cry because they decided you being a bitchy crybaby isn't something they want in their place. Perhaps if you read the 1st Amendment rather than just assume what brain trusts like the 3 toed sloth MTG claims is a violation of her 1st Amendment rights is accurate. (The video of her screeching at Twitter execs violating her 1st Amendment rights goes here) BTW if you hate it here so much, why do you keep posting? Imma guessing you also enjoy pissing into the wind.

  It is so nice to see that Iowa has no pressing issues or things of real consequence to take care of.

  So Warner made money by infringing others copyrights, based on someone ticking a box claiming it was theirs. What damages are available & money was actually stolen from the artists who they assisted the con-men in ripping off so its way worse than the types of infringement they often scream about. UMG is a bunch of dipshits. I have a video snippet of LMAO dancing for Party Rock but the audio has been replaced with Billy Joel Uptown Girl. The songs have the same beat structure so all of the movements fit perfectly. I shared it on Twitter & I got my first ever copyright notice. (Oooh look at your shocked faces) As doing a counter-notice isn't something a nym can pull off easily I did the next best thing. I found the twitter account of the UMG dipshit who signed off on it & tweeted asking if he knew what fair use was & was I really someone he wanted to piss off, and the fact that there are other copies of the same merged video across the net that they have ignored made me wonder if they wanted my attention. Never heard anything from them again, pretty sure I've posted the clip a few more times.

  Oh look another fee they can get added to bills to make us pay for their sins, and then drag their feet doing anything with the cash waiting for another fee to be levied upon us. I mean they JUST got around to finding the money to pay to replace the pipes in Flint, so lead is a really high priority...

  How do I tell you about 'ThreadNought' and have you believe me... Trying to create a class using reddit is tame compared to outsourcing your legal decisions to kiwi farms.

• On the post: Ohio Court Says Calling Cincinnati Police Officer Ryan Olthaus A Racist Is Protected Speech

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 13 Jan, 2024 @ 02:58am

  "Recent FBI data show upticks in police officer killings during years when there have been major incidents of civil unrest across the country." Well when police officers keep killing unarmed people there should be civil unrest as the courts never seem to give a flying fuck about holding the cops accountable instead allowing them to claim that they didn't know that shooting an unarmed person in the back after they were cuffed MIGHT be a rights violation.

  1 - There are ads on Twitter? 2 - If they are paying Elmo to run their scamvertisements, at what point is Twitter a co-conspirator? 3 - 1000 spambots join, all put the same link in their bio to lure horny idiots to click to get lucky... and Twitter can't even run grep to locate these accounts. I guess it is all part of being a free speech absolutist, being a petty bitch and banning people who upset you while claiming its only bad when others do it to you.
