The sad thing is that i found it rather believable that the initial report could be describing something entirely accurate as seen, or someone else outside abusing the system. The problem is that government agencies and general copyright trolls have set the whole thing into the Poe's Law Zone.
News sources tend to be fairly selective for whom they use mugshots, and for whom not, when reporting arrests or even convictions. This is another thing.
I suppose the upside is as law enfarcement generally initiates actual disruption, they can have disruption anywhere, abuse demonstrators, plus charge them with yet another crime.
I pretty much smell DAPL here, more so than Starbucks, but yeah. It's already like the weekend-jihadi zone Afghanistan was with Al Qaeda for random LEOs from all over, assaulting people on land they have no jurisdiction over. The perfect excuse for another ridiculous and draconian (and probably selectively enforced) law. What could be better?
This is a direct result of that to which you refer. They have had rather restrictive hate speech laws regarding some things ever since then.
Why they choose to make FB responsible for it is another one of those stupid things that seem popular occasionally with certain people. You would think they might want to use it as a resource to find people who are actually dangerous, or even just violating their speech limitation law if they really feel like they must, i guess.
We are issuing a BOLO, with descriptions and photographs, for this team of five murderers, currently on a two day rampage, killing 17 individuals so far. What? No, you may not use or reprint that!
Yes so much confusion. A stylized cannabis leaf (or poinsettia) that looks more like a christmas ornament with the word "Snoop" on it might be mistaken for a really bad looking maple leaf logo belonging to... whom? Never heard of 'em. Pass the j.
And yeah "leafs" is used colloquially, or in error, all the time. No it is not unique at all. In fact, i don't even find it particularly noticeable in the Toronto maple Leafs usage context.
Yes, all hail technicalities. What is beyond ridiculous is that they can seize and successfully keep perfectly legal goods and cash normally. I would not be surprised to see them move wholly to a forfeiture model where they can trump up charges so egregiously bad that it gets thrown out of court straight off, if not the prosecutor's office, but they don't care because they got everything they wanted.
I will never buy another Dr. Seuss book and recommend others do the same.
There are so many copies already extant that i think there may be a market for a First Sale Doctrine site to connect those who want books but don't wish to enrich awful rightsholders / IP bullies like this with those who have copies and don't need them, and to publicly thumb a nose at the trolls. With a special section with stats just for Seuss, Tolkein, etc.
Geller sues the government over First Amendment claims involving section 230. This is the censorship claim. It is wrong. Therefore it is not censorship with respect to the claim, which is exactly what was being discussed.
Wow what a great idea, promote and further the culture of litigiousness. Seriously, if someone had a solid actionable case they should have filed already... maybe. Trying to dig up something to file suit over is just stupid. Clearly no one noticed so can't be much of a claim.
A better idea would have been to support people who have been defamation-suit-trolled by Trump (or anyone else for that matter, seriously, wth) so the case can come to a ruling or is dropped?
"Without attribution". Except the freaking CNN logo that is plastered on the screen every second, in case you don't know what channel you were watching. If i posted it i would add a click through to the original source... assuming that CNN, in this case, had the damn clip posted themselves and it wouldn't disappear in a week.
The problem is that people like their aggregated news and whatever feeds and sites. If you don't know how to monetize your aggregated content, if you truly must, then that is your problem, regardless as to whether use is infringing or not.
If all sites were not so hellishly heavy, people would be more inclined to visit more individual sites. Business drove this, and now people, aside from being too lazy to really delve into anything most of the time, or even click through, or read past a headline or blurb, are much more reluctant to try and load one more overbearing page that might hang the browser or app and will stick with one of their preferred aggregators (and aggregators of aggregators of aggregators...), however good or bad they may be.
