Oh absolutely. I was in one of the countries on that list. Only the rebels and army wore camouflage, and the police would demand you take it off or be arrested. They were serious, the war was not that long ago. It doesn’t matter if you have no other clothes, according to a local they’ll make a tourist go naked rather than allow camouflage.

Am I supposed to know what this is or what it does?

I kinda had the same “look on the bright side” outlook for Covid and was disappointed.

Not at all.

X does it more like the second one, but there’s nothing stopping mastodon from doing it like the first.

Poe’s Law of the internet.

The article actually goes easy on them. The first plaintiff sued because the student was brought into the principal’s office and told they were being suspended for drug use, and as evidence showed a photo of them eating something in their room. It turned out to be Mike and Ike’s candy. The family was so upset they were spying on the child in their bedroom that it escalated to an investigation and then the scandal unfolded.

The school tried to backpedal and claim that the app takes photos on a timer and they had no idea, and this was proven to be a lie in court when they showed the IT training video explaining how proud they were of the webcam snooping feature.

Sounds very Klingon.

Did you want specific accounts?

Palestinian Shebab News Agency has facebook pages shut down

@Eye.on.palestine on IG suspended by Meta, then back up after a backlash.

#IStandWithPalestine and #FreePalestine getting censored by Facebook

Numerous actual popular accounts and news sources have been suspended. It was major news in the Arabic-speaking world in October. Meta even apologized for auto-translating Palestinian as “terrorist.”

We need to treat the rightwing Israeli government like the pariah that they are. If North Korea was selling tools like this there would be consequences. Meanwhile Israel repeatedly sells Pegasus and other hack tools and spies on democracy activists.

It’s so much better than before, but mainly if you’re in the US.

It’s my preferred map for driving; it looks nicer, the voice navigation sounds better and it suits what I need.

Google maps works better overseas but they also crowdsource their maps.

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has not tweeted publicly about the delay.

But Musk has. It’s clear who is running things.

Musk screws him over and yet he continues to use the service?

People are so stupid these days.

I have no love for corporations but they’re a fact of life by this point on the internet. They drive a significant about of marketing and users and they’re what make a social media platform take off (which is why Parler and Gab fell apart).

Fediverse SHOULD be an ethical platform, but you have server admins defederating any instance that even has paid subscribers. Isn’t that going too far? Are we trying to force everyone on here into a kibbutz?
