Should or shouldn’t doesn’t matter. The majority wants an account that doesn’t require external verification.
Ignore the fact that that’s not truly possible. People will go to whatever platform makes them feel it’s true the best.
Being capable of effectively convincing people your platform will provide this is a baseline requirement to even start having this discussion. The anonymous Internet isn’t something most people want
We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I’m told, is much harder to do now
unfortunatelyvery fortunately since children don’t know how to look out for a superheated steam leak and it was only a matter of time before a child got fucking bisected

Yeah… Because China is big into encryption
but that wasn’t his last reply
“free” when you find it on the side of the road, but expensive to actually maintain without having it die on you.
The download is free, but pay for it or it’s going to die.
Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn’t have a concept of “freedom to not worship”, so it’s tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it’s hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.
It’s a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can’t legally call bullshit on. Because that’s the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn’t a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can’t pretend the satanist isn’t covered by the first amendment protection.
Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient
Damn that’s dark.
It’s a guest contributor to a local paper deep in Mormon country. It’s not really hard to add up
Have the police attempted to justify their actions?
Holy shit, you’re right! He literally thinks “renewable” and “green” energy are synonymous. That’s middle school life science level knowledge. That’s really embarrassing for him
I mean, I get the idea that it’s easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like … Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don’t really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.
Not true. The system suppresses third parties. It doesn’t stop them. Parties fall in the US just like everywhere else. When was the last time you spoke to a US whig? Or a Jeffersonian Republican? The system in place when those parties fell was exactly the system we have now. It just takes a massive popular effort and a period of severe political turmoil where the country is heavily divided along party lines and a large portion of the country feels entirely disenfranchised (ideally about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between the two parties and people fed up or greater). Happened at the revolution. Happened at the civil war. Happened at the great depression. Guess where we are now? Don’t let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal. We’re on the knive’s edge now. It’s time to push
Despite what the media wants us to think, both parties are wildly unpopular with their own voters and are primed for collapse. Literally all of the conditions historically needed for social revolution have been met
Weird. You called me evil when I suggested it as the correct way to pay creatives and everyone else. Maybe your problem with my argument is your own reading comprehension.
