    Funny how when you let conservatives have power your rights start being infringed upon.

    Anyway, I wonder how Palestine is doing.

      Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala… I just don’t fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they’re familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. “Familiar” feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn’t even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he’d lie because he’s familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she’s unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more… which is very fucking stupid.

        Lot of easily manipulated assholes out there. Many of them are right here on Lemmy. Still clutching their pearls. To be fair, most didn’t vote for Trump, but they didn’t vote or voted for a non-starter 3rd party candidate, which is basically giving their blessing to Trump. It’s proof they never really cared about Palestine. Just their own personal satisfaction. If they cared they would have done the thing that hurt Palestine the least. But they didn’t.

        but he had a TV show

        Remember all the dipshits leading up to the 2016 election saying “he’ll run it like his businesses” because they were totally unaware how many businesses he’d driven into the ground and how many bankruptcies he’d had? Yeah, lot of stupids out there.

          Except Holocaust Harris would’ve lost even if she received literally every single third-party vote, even including Libertarians who usually swing right.

          But when have basic facts like elementary-level math ever stopped Blue MAGA?

      The cloud act requires a warrant, this is them just demanding access.

      “The CLOUD Act primarily amends the Stored Communications Act (SCA) of 1986 to allow federal law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies via warrant or subpoena to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil.”

    I fully expect Google to comply. Thankfully, the only service of theirs that I use is Youtube.

    If a civil war happens, I think a side effect is that Google’s domination over video platforms would be over. People would end up flocking towards the ones that aren’t in service to the Regime.

        It doesn’t seem to be as well known, but YouTube is one of the biggest distributors of blatant disinformation, and they have done fuck all about it. There are so many individual right wing disinformation channels that wield so much more power than they should. It’s so fuckin insidious. Seriously, go find one of the alt-right YouTube accounts, and just look at the comments. Not a single one will be negative. They literally police their comments, and the only thing left is sycophantic bullshit like “thank you for exposing the truth!” It’s actually disgusting. Every YouTuber can essentially build their very own echo chamber, and they do.

        I know YouTube comments should generally be ignored, but when you see something that is intentionally, blatantly misleading, a single sentence comment could be all that is required to pierce the veil. It’s axiomatic at this point that their bullshit doesn’t stand up against even surface level scrutiny.

        Google could combat this with little to no effort. Put a flag next the username. Display the number of manually deleted comments. Done. But they won’t. Fuck youtube. Fuck Google. They are perfectly happy to lead the charge into fascism.

          Plus they all stroke each other off, like praise each other really obviously to the point they should be embarrassed. They have no respect for their audiences. Like joe rogan, his guests and him fall over themselves praising each other transparently.

          It’s not just political disinformation. Watch a few how to videos on something you know a lot about. You’ll find the same wrong information repeated over and over.

          All of these ‘content creators’ are really just ‘regurgitationists’.

          If you want to know how to do something wrong, watch a you tube tutorial.

          While I think I agree with your geneal stance, I also believe ‘no knowledge is lost’ is pure hyperbole.

          Aside from many different quasi-documentaries, video essayists and slice-of-life bloggers (whose content is surely backed up on other platforms or by data hoarders) the sheer amount of tacit knowledge of small computer/electronics/hardware repairs and similar, especially in smaller channels, is in no way either ‘not knowledge’ or not ‘lost’ should the platform go up in flames tomorrow.

            Before YouTube, people used to share knowledge of how to do shit with computers/electronics/everything on forums. I still go and find info on those forums more often than on YouTube. Nothing would be lost is perhaps a slight over exaggeration, but not a hyperbole. I can’t remember the last time I used YouTube for anything else but entertainment.

    There is no reason to honor these warrantless requests. The Bush Administration sent National Security Letters to them, demanding all this information without a warrant and threatening massive penalties if they told anyone. They had no legal basis to do such a thing, the constitution demands they get a warrant from a judge as laid out in the 4th amendment and calls anything in violation of the constitution to be illegal and unenforceable.

    But the rot has been spreading for a half a century, the immune system of the Republic is haywire, we have autoimmune conditions, the immune system attacks healthy parts of the body.

      America isn’t a country of laws anymore. The supreme court rubber stamps anything the administration wants to do, and the administration “declines requests from the judiciary”. You’ve got administration officials that don’t know what Habeas Corpus means, suspending Habeas Corpus. You’ve got a military openly/brazenly committing war crimes on the international scene (blowing up unverified “narco boats”/civilians). You’ve got a paramilitary gestapo-like force quite literally shooting citizens in the streets, your own government aiming to terrorize its people – which’s the whole point of the violent Ice operations targeting blue states.

      But yeah, sure, Google and the big tech bros who have been supporting Trump’s actions throughout all of this will totally draw the line at disclosing data.

        Oh yeah for sure, they have been for some time well before this administration as I understand it.

        Facebook is even worse I believe. They allow the police and agents virtually unlimited reach into our lives without warrants. They don’t even charge the government to comply with their demands. ATT used to charge the government a lot of money for wiretaps and the like, and made them get warrants. Facebook they just have to ask and they bend over backwards for them.

        Maybe facebook and google are guilty on other fronts which makes them susceptible to betraying our freedoms here. Which is why you don’t allow such consolidation in the first place but too late now our courts are captured as well as the regulators and they won’t break up the trusts, not without a new muscular populist government on a full fledged campaign.
