Global News@lemmy.zip•Canadian court orders Iran to pay $200 million to B.C. man tortured for being ‘infidel’English
1·17 days agoIran should start fining Canada for every First Nations person tortured.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Age-verification partner Yoti is reporting GrapheneOS users to authorities for using GrapheneOS, due to "past security concerns."
4·21 days agoThey’re already being ignored. The point is to have the report in the archive for when you want it in the future.
Excellent. Thank you. But using an online AI provider to me seems against the stated goals. I know online is the preferred option for most people, but you should provide them alongside connecting to a local server.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Israeli minister confirms goal of large-scale expulsion of Palestinians from GazaEnglish
2·1 month agoI assumed that anyone who considers it ethnic cleansing would refuse the offer anyway.
I have a bullet and I have ten monies. I want to trade one of them for your house. Are you selling it to me or do I have to shoot you?
After you have taken the offer where you get to live, will you describe the way I acquired your house as a crime later? You signed the bill of sale.
Is this post trying to insinuate that car-roads are more worthwhile than railroads? Or canals for that matter? Because they aren’t. You backed the wrong boom. Sticking with rail would’ve been better in the long run.
How do you tie the URL bar size to the sidebar size?

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•London's police asked Big Tech for private communications data over 700,000 times last yearEnglish
2·1 month agoMost of them can’t even save a word document as a PDF.
What does it matter what real people can or can’t do? The article and topic is about police abusing innocent people by spying on them. The fact that they aren’t able to do the things you’re justifying them getting accused of only makes it worse, to the degree it’s relevant at all.
As for the first bit? No idea, I’m not from London. But 700,000 requests potentially represent 700,000 complaints from people about alleged criminal activity.
The total number of offences in London for 2024 was 951803. Do you find it reasonable if 70% of those have an anonymous online component to them that is still clearly linked to the same crime?
But I can tell you now, no cop in the land has the time or inclination to start searching for this stuff unless its a crime thats been reported to them.
What about the 106 times they did it to “specifically identify journalists’ sources”? Did someone make a report for each of the 93527 LycaMobile users, which the article pretty convincingly suggests were targeted because they’re largely migrant workers?
Even if it was all legitimate, why does police need the power to search people’s communication without evidence? Why don’t they need warrants for communications data? Why don’t “intelligence and security spies” need warrants for communications content? Why are they allowed to do cavity searches for communication equipment without evidence of a crime?
if you become a victim how would you feel if the police simply responded “yeah we don’t know whos doing it and we aren’t gonna bother trying to find out, good luck”?
You’re loading the question with the assumption that no investigation can be done without reading the communications of 700000 Londoners, and that the rights of innocents should be at my discretion if I’ve been victimised in any way.

31·1 month agoOkay great. Does London have 700000 cyber-criminals?
They can seize the device (forensically linked earlier)
Except you can just change your IP and MAC, so now anything the police wants to see is linked to whatever crime gives them the most leeway.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•New York's case that Steam lootboxes are "gambling" is a free speech violation that "will have an impermissible chilling effect on protected videogame design", argue ValveEnglish
4·1 month agoFor the record, Gabe already has six yachts. More than anyone on earth*. Including the world’s largest yacht*.
(* Roman Abramovich has owned 8 different yachts, but not at the same time).
(* The Abu Dhabi royal family owns a bigger yacht, if we include state-assets then technically it is #2).
The man was a professional torturer and professional terrorist. He said he took those jobs because they aligned with his passions for torture and terrorism. You can be pragmatic without becoming a cartoon that will advocate for literal satans. There are levels.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK Sees Lowest Viewing Figures for Eurovision Final Since 2010English
2·1 month agoStill 5.2 million too many. Though the UK is probably one of the more Israel-friendly countries after Germany, so maybe they’re hurting worse everywhere else.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Palestine Action Activists to Be Sentenced As Terrorists in Move Kept Secret From Jury and PublicEnglish
61·2 months agoIt was. I’ve known about this for weeks, so any anglophone journalist probably has as well. They don’t want to report on it.

World News@lemmy.ml•Russia and China Now Settle 95% of Trade Without Dollars as De-Dollarization Completes
3·2 months agoIt’s not like Chinese capitalists don’t hold any power in China. Capitalists and non-capitalist bourgeois hold their wealth in USD. (And the working class also have a lot invested into their savings, though in RMB). So it’s unpopular to do anything to drastically affect their savings. But on top of that, China and Chinese businesses obviously trade currency with the outside as a matter of operation. What are the effects on that trade if the world’s wealthiest country suddenly completely recontextualised the value of it’s currency?
(I liked the meme by the way).

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Remember when they were calling for regime change in China because of mass surveillance? This is the USA today
3·2 months agoHow many protestors did cops in Hong Kong kill? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like your phrasing is intentionally designed to imply a number greater than zero.

World News@lemmy.ml•Europe considering banning VPN for 'children protection'
19·2 months ago(The) argument that (children can’t buy internet) (…) is also bullshit
You can’t just say it’s bullshit and not provide a counter argument. Are you insinuating that children will use their parent’s internet? Fine, but how does that change for VPNs? They can’t buy a VPN subscription either, so they would have to use their parent’s VPN accounts, and then the age verification has been bypassed anyway.

World News@lemmy.ml•Europe considering banning VPN for 'children protection'
14·2 months agoWhich forward steps are you referring to in this context? Starting with a head start (compared to the USA’s Internet laws) doesn’t count as moving forward.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•British newspapers antisemitic cartoons of Zack Polanski
5·2 months agoNone of these are good counter-examples. They gave him a “Jew-nose” when he doesn’t have one. These other ones are either inspired by the person’s real nose or other types of unflattering noses with different implications. Perhaps the best defense using this evidence is that they didn’t give Zelenskyy a Jew-nose despite him being Jewish, if it’s one of the publications from the collage above.
