Every time this bit of QAnonsense gets referenced, the "I summon the full power of the storm!" line from the 90s X-Men animated series ear-worms me again.
It takes two to settle. I get the distinct impression that Dominion is more interested in salvaging its good name than in the money (which Sidney can't produce more than a tiny fraction of in any case, especially if Sponge Blob Golf Pants sends forth his legal beagles to squelch her efforts to work his side of Grift Street).
Sidney's lying there in wait
Sidney's lying at the gate
Sidney's lying to the court
Sidney's lying with a snort
Please, dear reader, do not butt in
With the red-flag "cancel" button!
So, are you actually stupid enough to not understand the difference between personal disrespect (e.g. referring to Caitlin Jenner as "Bruce") and political commentary (e.g. referring to Trump and McConnell as "Napoleon Boneyspurs" and "Moscow Mitch", respectively), or are you just pretending to be?
Hmmmm... if the scrubbing service puts fine print in the contract warning of possible "extra fees" and reserving the right to report "particularly problematic" content rather than scrub it, would that basically put them in a position to blackmail the customer with impunity? It'd serve them right....
The Ring doorbell, and probably all the others, only record video when they detect motion.
That's another advantage to the obvious method of avoiding the whole issue -- configure things so that your camera doesn't see the street, just the area right in front of your door (e.g. put up a bit of privacy fencing or shrubbery).
For example, "there's no such thing as the biggest natural number, because if there were such a number, I could add 1 to it and have an even bigger number."
I'm waiting to see if there is any more information out there before jumping to any conclusions on this.
Since there will always be the possibility of currently unknown details becoming known later changing a story it may be hyperbolic to spin it as needing to know ''100% of the details' before it's no longer 'reckless' to report
It's not hyperbolic at all; in fact, it understates the absurdity of MW's argument. Even if a news publisher does have 100% of the relevant details, MW's standard would still require them to hold publication until they can prove that there is no more relevant information out there somewhere.
If I weren't an alias, you'd have just committed libel.
No, no, no; the correct answer is "If what you just said weren't so obviously true, you'd have just committed libel". Please try to keep up with the class.
Before all these independent platforms sprung up, it was actually easier to build an audience because the few hundred people on a given message board didn't know where to look either, and a post or two would scoop them all up, leading to thousands of dollars in sales.
Ah, so your business model is "fleece suckers who don't know about the existence of better alternatives to your snake oil". And now you're butthurt because the proliferation of platforms makes it much easier for the (former) suckers to learn their options. Explains a lot....
My name isn't attached to them either. This proves that I could claim to have lost eleventy zillion and thirteen dollars to "piracy" on a basis every bit as solid as yours.
First, a boycott is not purely speech because, after putting aside any accompanying explanatory speech, a refusal to deal, or particular commercial purchasing decisions, do not communicate ideas through words or other expressive media.
So, refusal to buy something from Israel because it happens to be overpriced junk, with no ideological component to the decision, is not Constitutionally protected and may thus be prosecuted under these laws? Cool! I just need to set up some paper corporate residence in Israel and I'm good to go!

At best, any settlement would require her to undertake the most grueling apology tour since Henry IV's submission to Gregory VII at Canossa.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Yes you did:
A policy of waiting because there is "more information" out there inherently requires waiting until "100% of the details" are in. QED.

Maybe the Russian Troll industry has figured out that the Trump Train is derailing so they're branching out into new fields of endeavor.

Dude, you were supposed to put the United Way update in between those items.
