Tar sand oil investments

Barclays bank customers are reproving the bank for investing in tar sand oil extraction, and some are threatening to move their bank accounts.

'Extreme pornography' conviction

vendredi 14 décembre 2018 à 01:00

Prudish censorship attacks again in the UK, convicting someone for possessing "extreme pornography", including images of sex with animals.

I can't imagine a possible reason to punish people for this. The article does not report that the animals were harmed, or that they objected to the experience, or that they thought of it as sexual. The law does not consider these questions pertinent.

What is, however, clear is that prohibiting the possession of copies of some image or text — no matter what that image or text may be — threatens human rights. It creates excuses to search through people's possessions and files. It creates ways to make people vulnerable to criminal charges without their cooperation or even their knowledge. All such laws must be repealed.

Bias of London thugs

Statistics demonstrate bias against blacks in London thugs' use of handcuffs and tasers.

Net neutrality comments

vendredi 14 décembre 2018 à 01:00

The FCC is denying FOIA requests for information pertinent to the fake comments that pretended to come from individuals in favor of ending network neutrality.

Ajit Pai pretends those comments were bona fide. One must suspect that he wants congresscritters to find it easy to pretend to believe this. That suggests he has a certain amount of power to get Republicans to pretend to believe lies, but feels he had better not push it too far.
