One of those is really hard to do, the other is literally impossible. I'll let you decide which is which.

@DuchessOfMars @ethot
The sad part is seeing some of the atheist personalities I've been following for over 10 years still thinking the Christian right somehow has overwhelming political power and they're likely to take away women's and gay rights any second now if we don't oppose them full force. I cringe so much when I see how poorly they've adapted to the changes in culture. They've defined themselves by this fight against a Christian theocracy that this is all they can see. Most seem completely blind to reality.

2020 has been hard on us all. It's still playing tricks on our minds.

Gab has no experience with waifus. It's all just novelty for them. They're like a tourist taking pictures of every crap building for no reason.

>using hospital data without context
What about the context where people are afraid to go to the hospital for other problems because they're afraid of catching Covid? How about you add those numbers to the chart and see what happens.

I love the hypocrisy of talking about others "generating a lie" when it's the exact same thing you're doing.

Emm.. no... Now that she's an adult, people will finally roast her to the full extent her stupidity requires.

I wonder how popular the name Adolf is in Germany these days. As in, how many newborns are named Adolf these days?

And if a Romanian can access content that is illegal here, through the internet, from a server in say China, were content is legal, though luck. Authorities only have the right to prosecute the Romanian (if simply viewing the content is illegal), and if they want, they can try to IP block the server. They don't have a right to tell the host what to do.

@kura @LukeAlmighty
Origin of content is place where poster made the content. If I post from Romania I must abide by Romanian laws and must be punished by Romanian laws if I break them. Not American laws, not British laws, not Chinese laws etc.
As for the platform, if content is legal in the region of the server and of headquarters, they have no obligation towards Romania. If they have a local server that functions for Romania, then they'll be obligated to remove content once authorities are notified of any breaking of the local law.

@kura @LukeAlmighty
In other words, if $contentA is illegal in $contryA, and was posted by $personA, the platform should notify $contryA police and remove $contentA as $personA broke $countryA laws.

But if $contentB is illegal in $countryB, but not in $countryA, and $personA, citizen of $countryA posted it, then nothing happens, no matter how much $countryB makes a fuss.

@LukeAlmighty
And opposing the communist party is illegal in others. So what?

@kura @LukeAlmighty
This is kinda the reason why I'd rather have the internet as an independent nation of it's own.

But leaving that aside, in my view a platform has absolutely no obligation to abide by another country's laws if they don't have headquarters there. Any country that doesn't like that can either go fuck itself or try to censor the platform entirely and enjoy the backlash from it's own population.

So yes, if someone find a nation in which $content is acceptable and hosts a site from there, then tough luck for any other country or entity that doesn't like $content. They don't have a legal claim and neither should they. If I'm not obligated to follow British law when it comes to jaywalking, why should I follow British law when it comes to anything else?

@GNUxeava
Probably because businesses still need phones on which you can talk all day without worrying about battery life or if you've got good signal. So landline phones are still gonna be a thing for now. And seeing how important calls are transitioning to Zoom, Whatsapp, Skype, and who knows what else, a niche was created for this weird atrocity.

Maybe Disney hopes China will change from genociding muslims to genociding the "white race".
