Reddit violates CCPA

I wonder at what point people start taking them to court. It seems like the usual idiot tech bro excuse of thinking terms of service/use somehow override the law which is hilariously naive.

You cannot override the law in a TOS.

Like if they wrote down that they were allowed to murder you written into their TOS and proceeded to murder you they'd still go to jail for murder.

"Code is the documentation"

Is the laziest excuse I've come across. Like, not everyone knows everything and complex code exists, it is not hard to put in some text explaining the basics of what something does.

Like, unless you're dealing with that code everyday it's going to look like double dutch to anyone new coming to it.

I've had people say that to me before, and it is absolutely infuriating in its laziness and cop out excuse.

[META] Migrating from r/combatfootage

The problem is where to store that footage. This has been a long running issue that OSINT has had trouble with documenting things like warcrimes.

For example Bellingcat iirc have their own private storage for just such things when it comes to documenting warcrimes because the footage often disappears due to breaking TOS.

Twitter likely isn't long for this world, youtube has removed stuff before etc.

Apple removes Russian-language podcast produced by Meduza, an independent media outlet, from Apple Podcasts

Eh, I mean they probably did it because of russian government pressure but ultimately I've seen a lot of russian opposition media hold what are questionable views regarding Ukraine, often a colonial or imperialists view.

They don't want war, they just want to do these things peacefully to impose russia on Ukraine etc.

At this point I couldn't give two shits what happens in russia, what's important is helping Ukraine.
