This is a wild exchange if you read Gonzales, the leading 2nd Cir. case on reporters’ privilege. The entire case is about the government trying to get the phone records of NYT journalists…the same thing the gov is trying to do now. What do you mean you didn’t know about that aspect of it 😂

The KIDS Act is not just some benign form of digital “carding.” If passed, the bouncer at the door is an online entity capturing and storing personal data from users who simply want to access legal, First Amendment-protected content on the internet, EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social wrote for @coindesk.com.

Pausa de Constitución

I mean, I understand being a moderate if that moderation is attached to a set of values and beliefs beyond "moderation is good." In fact, there are several individual issues about which I have political middlin' views (as measured by SF standards)! But moderation for moderation sake is empty.

Ah ... moderates.

Wurman’s statement is also just factually wrong. Literally every country in the world, apart from a handful of exceptions like North Korea, has vibrant civil society groups who advocate for democracy and human rights. Nobody is “culturally incapable” of constitutional self government.

Oh come on. Dude financed a series of lawsuits designed to literally bankrupt and shut down critical media sites.
