Immigration law is pretty clear that prospective citizens not engage or have engaged in activity harmful to the US or support organizations that do. Social media is a hot bed of anti US and terrorist supporting information. Requiring access to social media will help verify the immigrant is not involved in these things. If the immigrant has lied on their application, their immigration status will be lawfully revoked.
So, what about the 4 years under Biden? The Dems could have released anything they wanted to, whether it is Jan 6th or Epstein. They were in control.
Tech Dirt has a bad case of TDS and it shows in everything they write.
A “true threat” is a legal standard used to define when threatening language is not protected by the First Amendment. If the statements fell under that category, it is a crime in itself.
Federal laws come into play under more specific conditions. A primary basis for federal jurisdiction is when a threat is transmitted across state or international borders using any form of communication. Under 18 U.S.C. § 875, it is a federal crime to transmit a communication in interstate commerce containing a threat to injure another person.
There also higher standards of conduct and a lower level of rights attached to a Visa. The State Department can revoke a visa if they have cause.
Tech Dirt needs to concentrate on reporting on technology vice being a platform for left wing ideology.
These kind of reviews have always taken place by SCOTUS, and if the judge thinks that the plaintiff or defendant are likely to win on merit, then the judge rules that way. It is an interim ruling until the matter can be heard by the full court. If the court was 6-3 liberal, I am sure you would not be complaining. But, we would be living in some dystopian environment.
In most cases, reasonable suspicion is not needed.
There is a federal law on the books that enables ICE to question anyone within 100 miles of the US border. That includes international airports and all international points of entry, as well as the physical border. You don’t need a warrant, you don’t need probable cause, there are no Constitutional protections. You can be stopped and detained anytime ICE wants to. A lot of the US falls under the 100 mile rule. That law has been on the books for decades. EVEN UNDER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS.
Bottom line, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, ICE is likely to question the person. As almost all illegals are not white, it would seem silly to ignore their race. Racial profiling is not illegal in this case.
Courts cannot go against SCOTUS interim guidance, it is not optional. If it were, then there would never be a reason for partial court emergency review. These reviews are done, if the court accepts doing one, to issue guidance based on what would likely happen during a full court review. It happens all the time.

It is a shame that TechDirt doesn't concentrate on Tech stuff anymore, they are just throwing out stuff you would hear on The View.
The leftist mentality is that everyone should get everything they want and let the rich pay for it.
Why should me tax dollars be used to subsidize broadband, green energy, healthcare, etc. for other people? It's great to be poor, the Dems will throw all sorts of bennies your way, knowing full well that working stiffs and a mountain of debt are paying for it. It is a good way to get votes.
If you can't afford it, you can't have it and keep your hand out of my wallet.
Tax cuts for billionaires? Please. That statement fails fact check. The change in estate tax was THE provision and it just raised the limit for everyone. Everyone benefited from tax cuts in the new budget.
China is a threat and we have found time and again that there are some things that they put in their tech that would aid them in time of war. Tech Dirt says the government underfunded the telecom refit. What do they propose, an open ended checkbook? These companies aren't man's best friend either. They screw the consumer all the time. The government has a legal right to regulate in this area.
It used to be fun and interesting to read TechDirt. But, since Trupm was elected, they have been on an unhinged rant. The spin on stories is just horrible.
They need to come up with a simple and accurate test for WOKE, just like the COVID tests. That way, when someone tests positive for WOKE, they can be immediately quarantined.
The Truth is that all illegals are in fact criminals for entering the US illegally. SCOTUS has ended the folly of lower court federal judges of issuing nationwide bans.
The courts are interfering with Federal immigration law enforcement, as are sanctuary cities and states. These officials need to be arrested.
I realize that TechDirt is an extremely liberal publication, but it does not change the fact that people that should not be here need to be deported immediately. There are lawful procedures in place for immigration and asylum. Those that choose not to use them need to be escorted out.
The appeals court upheld the deployment of the National Guard.
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law in 2011. The statute contains a sweeping worldwide indefinite detention provision and allows for the detention of US citizens under certain circumstances. Temporarily detaining a US citizen for turnover to law enforcement under these circumstances is fine.
There is no VA office in that Federal building. It is primarily HUD and USCIS (immigration). The detained person was definitely not there for the reasons stated.
There was not one truthful word in this article.
When the government bailed out numerous corporations, a lot of contracts and obligations were voided with the government's seal of approval. The corps were "too big to fail", so the law went out the window. Same thing happens with bank bailouts.
If only Twitter had the government's blessing. What they are doing would be blessed by on high.
In any case, the value of Twitter was pretty imaginary. It was never profitable and continues to burn through cash.
I don't doubt that they cannot pay their bills and turn a profit. The company is as much vaporware as computer generated money.
If I were to change how the service is marketed, it wouldn't be about locations. The only thing that matters is how many simultaneous screens being viewed. That controls how much bandwidth the company is using and how much in residuals they have to pay, if any.
Change the screen amount offerings. It will get them closer to where they want to be and not upset their customers.
Pinkeyes seems to deny the Techdirt article in this response to me.

This is not a google or other search engine indexing question. The sites have to be indexed. But, according to their ToS, the content can only be used with their services. So, if Pinkeyes is actually scraping content from those sites, they are violating the ToS.
Both Ancestry and its subsidiary, FindaGrave, are public facing sites. But, the content is owned by their users and is protected by the ToS. Scraped photos may also be covered under copywriter protection, as well as, authored documents in jpg or png format.
I would think Ancestry would take action on the scraping. I informed them today. We will see what they do.
I believe that you are correct that current photos of yourself would only be relevant and of a limited duration. Having looked at the Pinkeyes site, there is no way their opt out function is useful, and you also have to pay for it.
Assuming that Pinkeyes is scrapping photos on Ancestry and FindaGrave, there is a lot of content on those two sites that are in photo format but are not photographs. There are millions of documents in jpg and png format resident on those sites, some may be sensitive, i.e., birth, death, marriage and adoption records. All this stuff is IAW their ToS not to be used outside of their services. So, Pinkeyes is violating the ToS on both sites.

Comrade
I can tell you are not an American and if that is the way you feel, then please stay where you are. We have enough unhinged communists here already.

Thank goodness for TechDirt. I can get my fill of leftist tripe every day. How about reporting on tech and just leave out the political coloring?
Liberal Trolls
It used to be fun and interesting to read TechDirt. But, since Trupm was elected, they have been on an unhinged rant. The spin on stories is just horrible.
Woke Test
They need to come up with a simple and accurate test for WOKE, just like the COVID tests. That way, when someone tests positive for WOKE, they can be immediately quarantined.
The Truth
If a person is here illegally, after due process, they are deported. That is all that matters, no further justification is needed.
