  • Kibbutz Be’eri Rejects Story in New York Times October 7 Exposé: “They Were Not Sexually Abused”

    Jump

  • Are you asking me to guess? Rampant, patriarchal misogyny, same answer as always because very few countries do do their due diligence when prosecuting rape. But that's speculation, which is what it sounds like you're asking for.

  • There is very substantial evidence of rape, well beyond that one NY Times story.

    Houthis knock out underwater cables linking Europe to Asia - report

    Jump

  • I still haven't seen independent confirmation of the cable cutting from a non Israeli source, nor have I seen indications of a cut line on any of the looking glass servers I've checked. This bit is important, because we should be able to independently see the results of a cut sea cable.

    Did you look?

    Seacom, however, has seemingly confirmed in the African press that it is having cable issues, but didn't go so far as to point the blame at any group.

    Seacom Confirms Cable Outage in Red Sea

    This source links to some other sources, some Israeli and some not.

    I think the overall takeaway is that at least some cables took some kind of damage. Blaming Yemeni rebels might be nonsense, though - other actors in the area might have done it.

    After years of avoiding extradition, Julian Assange’s appeal is likely his last chance. Here’s how it might unfold (and how we got here)

  • There are no laws are policies that protect anyone in federal prison.

    1. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
    2. The Service shall supervise and furnish medical treatment and other necessary medical, psychiatric, and related technical and scientific services, authorized by section 4005 of title 18, in penal and correctional institutions of the United States.
    3. No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution, as defined in section 1997 of this title, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person— (1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.

    This list is not intended to be exhaustive.

  • Per the link you just posted, emphasis mine:

    Instead, federal officials accused Assange of violating a very different law when he allegedly conspired with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to try to break the password of a government computer and gain access to its secrets. It is unclear from the indictment whether Assange succeeded in breaking the password.

    He's charged with conspiracy, not actually helping her.

  • The problem lies in the fact that he assisted Manning with an illegal hack rather than simply publishing the material.

    That's simply not true. He's not even charged with helping her, he's charged with conspiracy.

  • Court blocks $1 billion copyright ruling that punished ISP for its users’ piracy

    Jump

  • Yes, but also no - and be careful, you're asking this around people who absolutely do hold manufacturers morally responsible for what people do with products bought from them. See e.g. any discussion of gun control on here.

    If you want to draw an analogy between traffic and the internet, the ISP is your provider of roads; your PC+router+modem is your car. So this is much, much closer to suing the state for building and maintaining the road the getaway car used.

    Also, there's no cleanly analogous crime - "getaway car" sounds like a comparison to robbery, but no-one here was robbed. Sony's argument for damages would have been based on theoretical sales it didn't make, arguing that its government-issued monopoly on its IP automatically implies anyone pirating content would have paid them for it.

    So here's an even closer analogy: you sell marijuana in a state with a fixed number of dispensary licenses, and you are the only person in your neighborhood with a license. You set up shop. Someone else shows up in a van and gives away pot for free; your sales go down. You sue the state for providing the road the van used to do this.

  • Minister quit ‘because he could not afford rising mortgage costs’ on £120,000 salary

    Jump

  • Who the hell wrote this? Emphasis mine.

    After leaving government, which he described as a “cruel mistress”, Freeman wrote in his blog that he now had the “greatest freedom of all – to speak and write and talk openly about what I’ve learnt”.

    On top of his MP’s salary of £86,584, he is now also free to take on lucrative second jobs, subject to the approval of the anti-corruption watchdog, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.

    So which is it?

    1. He hasn't left government, so he can still draw his salary. Another job would be a second job.
    2. He has left government, and inexplicably is still getting his salary despite being unemployed. Another job would be his first job.
    3. He has left government and isn't getting his salary. Another job would be his first job.

    Which is it? I want to know exactly which lies I'm being told.
