Catherine MacKinnon lives in a small world...where there can be no woman who gets to make decisions about her own life. - Scott Greenfield
Feminists and Other Puritans (#671)" MacKinnon has come out from under her rock to explain why OnlyFans isn't really a woman's choice ":
Pyrrhic Victory (#1020)[Catharine MacKinnon believes that] if you don't see the evil [of sex work], it's only because the evil has blinded you to the evil...the idea that [women can] choose [it] is anathema. It can't be true because no one would make such an undignified choice... Maggie McNeill would disagree with this characterization, rather vehemently I would guess. As would many others, including those who have taken advantage of the opportunity presented by OnlyFans...But to the MacKinnons wielding their axes as they destroy barrels of demon rum, save us from reefer madness, and prevent helpless oppressed women from doing as they choose with their bodies, there are only exploited victims because no women would ever choose to live in a way that fails to meet MacKinnon's approval...
The glassholes are back, only worse:
You Were Warned (#1046)Facebook's new camera glasses...are not called Facebook Glasses - they are called Ray-Ban Stories..because they are made in partnership with Ray-Ban...Knowing that Facebook is discussing building facial recognition into these things curdles the stomach...The privacy features for the glasses wearer are decent; privacy features for the rest of the world? Not so much... Your data and images may be safe from the prying eyes of Mark Zuckerberg, sure, but the real danger here is...the fact that you're walking around wearing barely perceptible spy glasses, taking videos and photos of anyone you want, likely without them noticing...The sleek Wayfarer frame design means that unlike Google Glass or the flashy bright yellow Snapchat Spectacles, these look very much like regular sunglasses...
Australia's rulers seem even more eager to destroy the internet than US rulers:
I Spy (#1064)Australia's High Court...has ruled that Facebook users are responsible for the content of complete strangers who post defamatory comments on their posts...the...ruling...is just a small part of a larger case brought against Australian news outlets, including the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and The Australian, among others, by a man who said he was defamed in the Facebook comments of the newspapers' stories in 2016...Dylan Voller...was [tortured by screws]...at a [prison for legal minors] in 2015 when undercover video of kids being...abused [by screws] was captured and...[bootlickers on Facebook] fabricate[d] stories about [Voller]...to imply that...he... somehow deserved the treatment ...Voller's full case against the media companies can now go forward...The High Court ruling is arguably one of Australia's dumbest in recent memory...
Pigs want to root around in people's social media in order to destroy their lives:
The Implosion Begins (#1163)LAPD...has directed its [thugs] to [demand] the social media information of every [person] they interview, including individuals who are not arrested or accused of a crime...the "field interview cards"...reveal that LAPD [thugs] are [demanding]...Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media accounts, alongside basic biographical information...the Brennan Center for Justice...conducted a review of 40 other...US [cop shops] and was unable to find another...that [admitted to] social media collection on interview cards...LAPD...us[ed] the cards to falsely label [victims] as gang members...and prosecutors have previously used Facebook photos and "likes" to make dubious...allegations of criminal gang activity...LAPD also shares data with federal [cop shops and spook houses via] "fusion centers", and [also feeds the data into] "predictive policing" [scams] ...
Everyone who spread "sex trafficking" hysteria contributed to this atrocity:
...a former Marine beset by delusions of child sex trafficking [based on propaganda spread by the government and anti-sex groups for two decades]... massacre[d]...a Florida family ...Bryan Riley...[happened to see] Justice Gleason mowing his lawn with his 11-year-old daughter in the yard...an[d cast the girl as a character in his delusion] named Amber who was suicidal and being held by a supposed sex trafficking ring that God had told him to confront. In fact, no one named Amber lived at the home and Gleason repeatedly told Riley that before asking him to leave their initial encounter...Riley left angrily...[then] left his home around 1 a.m. Sunday and went to the Gleason home...because, Riley later told detectives, "God told me to kill everyone and save Amber cause she's a victim of sex trafficking"...The 11-year-old girl survived the attack despite being shot multiple times...her family huddled in a bathroom after Riley shot his way into the home, killed their dog and then attacked everyone hiding there...The victims are Gleason...his...girlfriend, Theresa Lanham; their baby boy, Jody...and...Lanham's mother [Catherine Delgado]...
It seems likely that even the imaginary "trafficking victim's" name was derived from government-backed hysteria: "Amber", as in "Amber alert". Also: the sheriff in the story, Grady Judd, has for years eagerly promoted the same ugly propaganda which shaped Riley's delusions to justify his pocket police state.
This is little more than a delay in a case the government cannot win fairly:
To Molest and Rape (#1171)Judge Susan Brnovich has granted the [Backpage] defense's motion for a mistrial. "I, at the beginning of this, gave the government some leeway...Yet, in the [government's] opening and with every witness thereafter, it seems, the government has abused that leeway"...The opening statement from federal prosecutor Reggie Jones "was close to causing mistrial," she said. Then, despite agreeing "to minimize the focus on child sex trafficking" from then on out, the government continued to harp on it. And despite being told that witnesses could only talk about Backpage's general reputation if it was tied to communication with specific defendants in this case, government witnesses like Sharon Cooper "talked about the reputation of Backpage untethered from communications with the defendants,...I will call the jury in to dismiss them
and then we will set a date a couple weeks out to talk about when we can reconvene"...
"Having inappropriate behavior" is a really awkward way to say "molesting":
A [typical and representative] Ashland [Tennessee cop] has been arrested for [molesting] a minor [girl]...Benjamin Moore...was...[also] charged with...official misconduct...and...tampering with evidence...
