My response is typically, "I have literally everything to hide. I don't want you to know my middle name. I don't want you to know what I had for breakfast. It's none of anyone's business."

And weirdly, the response I get is, "Oh yeah, fair."

Wild that they increased the ipad prices as well; the entire point of the ipad is that it's a handicapped tool to avoid cutting into macbook marketshare.

The way it should work is that if a government can't do a thing, then they can't pay for the same thing.

Remove the demand and the activity will dry up.

This has got Russell Vought's fingerprints on it, mark my words.

In America, we have the fifth amendment, and the right not to divulge any information whatsoever unless we're granted immunity.

It is enough to say absolutely nothing, and request the government to prove its case.

If someone shot a person with my gun, I would invoke the fifth amendment, and ask the government to prove who did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

NASA has been downsized with a machete.

And Russell Vought is holding the weapon.

Fair use is an exception to copyright. The issue here is that it's not fair use, because copyright simply does not apply. Copyright explicitly does not, has never, and will never protect style.

How does an open protocol ever deal with the content moderation tech tree [1]?
