Why do you guys have a "speech regulator"
UK speech regulator Ofcom wants the power to block websites in the UK before it has finished investigating them. Its chief executive compared this to putting a prisoner on remand. The website is the prisoner, and nobody has proved it did anything.
The regulator also wants a lower bar for court orders that cut sites off from payment providers, ad networks, search engines and ISPs. It wants “proactive technology” to detect illegal content too. That category includes foreign interference, which UK law says can be committed by presenting information misleadingly even when all of it is true.
Ofcom admits it can’t collect most of the fines it hands to companies abroad. Its answer is more power.
Then MPs got to VPNs. The committee chair worried teenagers would dodge the under-16 social media ban. Dawes said there isn’t much anyone can do “short of taking action against VPNs” and called that a decision for the government.

Thanks to everybody who bought an #iPhoneDuo on launch day, you're saving me from the impulse purchase of a lifetime.
So @XMoney, being Visa, is accepted at more places than my Discover bank card.
Funny how "the bank formerly known as Twitter" is actually accepted at Costco and my debit card isn't.
Genuine question what can a hacker do with your A1C levels or whatever
Quest Diagnostics, one of America’s largest lab diagnostic companies, disclosed in a filing to shareholders that it learned of unauthorized access to a system used by doctors and other health care professionals to order tests and view lab results. wapo.st/4snSwJ1
Lots of people telling me that he was merely repeating something that was said and not endorsing it.
No. He heard it on the radio and thought it was the funniest shit ever.
@Ilhan it shouldn't be hard to condemn this.
Wait so not even an MVNO?
Like a major carrier?
This could be huge with starlink direct to cell.
The 800 MHz story is wild:
-Nextel originally owned the 800 MHz bands
-800 MHz was used for push-to-talk (literal walkie talkie over cellular lol)
-Nextel merged with Sprint, who merged with T-Mobile.
-T-Mobile was supposed to sell the 800 MHz bands to Dish Network to re-establish a 4th carrier in the US.
SpaceX bought it instead.
The new four major US Carriers will be:
-At&t
-Verizon
-T-Mobile
-SpaceX
These are the people you're arguing with online...
You have to already be Jewish to go on Birthright, and we don't recruit converts.
I've said on here that Big Hero 6 was a big part of why I went into robotics and engineering in general.
Show your kids some cool futuristic stuff and they'll want to build cool futuristic stuff themselves.
Conservatives thinking Slam Frank is some kind of unironic disrespect to Jewish history is so funny to me because it's written by a Jewish Zionist to parody woke nonsense
