The right-wing fanatic that attacked reported Owen Jones has been convicted. He writes that the UK has not figured out a way of sentencing fanatics that will deter or avoid future violence.

Erdoğan's right-wing party is trying to punish rape victims by making them marry the rapists.

Salafi Arabia appears to have cracked Bezos's phone and installed spyware. UN special rapporteurs call for an investigation.

If it were only a matter of justice for Bezos, we could call this crack poetic justice for Alexa. Morally there is little difference between inserting spyware in a product after sale and building it in before sale.
