Comment on Supreme Court seems ready to back Texas law limiting access to pornography in ~tech
UNO LinkWhat happened to personal responsibility? And judicial precedent ? this court is really going to overturn any other supreme court ruling just to fit whatever agenda they want to push.Several members of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seemed deeply skeptical of a challenge to a Texas law that seeks to limit minors’ access to pornography, peppering a lawyer for the challengers with exceptionally hostile questions.
The lawyer, Derek L. Shaffer, said the law violated the First Amendment by requiring age verification measures like the submission of government-issued IDs that placed an unconstitutional burden on adults seeking to view sexually explicit materials. He said parents could protect their children by using content-filtering software.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. was incredulous. “Do you know a lot of parents who are more tech savvy than their 15-year-old children?” He added that “there’s a huge volume of evidence that filtering doesn’t work.”
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who has seven children, said “kids can get online porn through gaming systems, tablets, phones, computers.”
She added, “Content filtering for all those different devices, I can say from personal experience, is difficult to keep up with.”Much of the argument concerned whether the appeals court had erred in using a relaxed form of judicial scrutiny to block the law. Several justices indicated that a more demanding standard applied even as they suggested that the Texas law satisfied it.

Comment on Net neutrality rules struck down by US appeals court in ~tech
UNO Link—- Over turning the Chevron deference will ensure the biggest corporate power grab in this countries history, and this is just the first domino to fall.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Cincinnati, said that the F.C.C. lacked the authority to reinstate rules that prevented broadband providers from slowing or blocking access to internet content. The decision put an end to the Biden administration’s hallmark tech policy, which had drawn impassioned support from consumer groups and tech giants like Google and fierce protests by telecommunications giants like Comcast and AT&T.

In its opinion, a three-judge panel pointed to a Supreme Court decision in June, known as Loper Bright, that overturned a 1984 legal precedent that gave deference to government agencies on regulations.
Over turning the Chevron deference will ensure the biggest corporate power grab in this countries history, and this is just the first domino to fall.

Comment on US President-Elect Donald Trump picks key figure in Project 2025 for powerful budget role in ~society
UNO LinkThis motherfucker doesn’t think civil servants are the American people?In the interview, Mr. Vought laid out ideas for how Mr. Trump “has to move executively as fast and as aggressively as possible, with a radical constitutional perspective, to be able to dismantle” the power of federal agencies and civil servants.
“The American people currently are not in control of their government, and the president hasn’t been either,” Mr. Vought said. “We have to solve the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy and have the president take control of the executive branch.”
But Mr. Vought is among a faction of MAGA supporters who have come to see the Federalist Society as too soft for an era in which, they believe, liberals and Democrats pose an existential threat to the nation.
“The Federalist Society doesn’t know what time it is,” Mr. Vought declared in an interview last year.
This motherfucker doesn’t think civil servants are the American people?

Comment on Google violated antitrust laws in online search, US judge rules in ~tech
UNO (edited )LinkI wander what will happen to Mozilla since they are mention in the ruling and while true that Google pays them to be the default, isn’t Google their biggest source of revenue? Or has that change ?...Judge Amit P. Mehta of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said Google had abused a monopoly over the search business. The Justice Department and states had sued Google, accusing it of illegally cementing its dominance, in part, by paying other companies, like Apple and Samsung, billions of dollars a year to have Google automatically handle search queries on their smartphones and web browsers.
“Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Judge Mehta said in his ruling.
I wander what will happen to Mozilla since they are mention in the ruling and while true that Google pays them to be the default, isn’t Google their biggest source of revenue? Or has that change ? Because if not and Google is force to stop the payments I don’t see them surviving.

Comment on US judge dismisses classified documents case against Donald Trump in ~news
UNO LinkIt feels like all US government intuitions are falling apartJudge Aileen Cannon ruled that the entire case should be thrown out because the appointment of the special counsel who brought the case, Jack Smith, had violated the Constitution. Her decision is sure to be appealed.
It feels like all US government intuitions are falling apart
Good thing the first reply to that post is someone disagreeing with the OP, cause really his opinion at the end is laughable, technology has gotten good enough so that the government can now block access to information? Those databases are going to be prime targets for hackers and every country’s alphabet soup agencies.
The same way you can’t have a secure backdoor, you cannot have privacy if you have to verify your age with an 3rd party every time you open a porn site, and you know they are not limiting this to porn.
