Encryption Is Not a Crime - Privacy Guides
Contrary to what some policymakers seem to believe, whether naively or maliciously, encryption is not a crime. Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people. Encryption is not a crime, encryption is a shield.

Encryption Is Not a Crime
Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

Rep. Emily Randall of Washington's 6th congressional district via FB (link to SeaTimes in 2/2):
"The American people are being told one thing, but my eyes saw another: the people inside this facility are our neighbors, people who we would see in the community, parents, and siblings. We spoke with a legal permanent resident who is being detained on a 20 year old crime for which he served his time." 1/2

Remember how banning guns because of one mass shooting in 20 years didn't reduce violent crime? Well, I'm sure if they just keep banning everything that ever gets used in a violent crime, human nature will just magically change, right?

I thought that police recruits had to take a basic training course that included the very basics principles of law. Like:
"Every person (not just every US citizen, not just every white US citizen, not just every rich white US citizen, not just every billionaire white US citizen) is to be presumed innocent by the government until proved guilty of a crime." 🧵‍>

RoboCop: Rogue City (Multiplatform, XPd on a Linux PC via Steam)
In an original story set between the 2nd and 3rd movies of the OG series, take on the role of RoboCop and end a crime wave by taking down the "New Guy" in town. TL;DR: Robo fan? Play this.
So right off the bat, this is not a AAA game. There's definitely rough edges here. But that's OK with me, as the things it does do right it does quite well.

AI flagging individuals based on vague behavioral patterns, will inevitably lead to a lot more unjustified stops, and I am just going to let you guess which communities will bear the burden of an automated stop and frisk system. #aiethics

Star Wars Outlaws allows players to operate in the criminal underworld of the Star Wars universe.
Except there’s no real crime. It’s defanged. There’s smuggling, gambling, violence. But no drug trade, and apparently no chattel slavery (which Hutts and Pykes engaged in during the period). It’s in the movies, but not appropriate for the game, I guess because it makes the characters less sympathetic?

So... When a judge gets accused of a crime by the executive branch for their rulings, that's really, really bad. That's textbook fascist power creep that needs to be vigorously opposed.
But at the same time, isn't it telling that said judge needs to raise money from donations to afford an appropriate defense? How much more clear could it be that "justice" is reserved for the rich in America?

Sex crime can't possibly happen if we just make sure than nobody ever thinks of teenagers as men and women.
They have boobs and beards and hips and deep voices, but they're children. Sure.

Listen to victims.
Most people know the story of Polanski's crime. So they can just skip the first 15 minutes.
The last 20 minutes however are really important unfiltered views of the victim. It's a perspective rarely heard and extremely important.

I understand the Dems' desire to sling mud at this guy.
He's probably a dirtbag. Most politicians are.
but EVEN SO we need to be honest with ourselves.
Teenagers are not children. The woman here is 16-years-old. Young women are not harmed by having sex. but worse than that, nobody even had sex. It is completely absurd to believe that saying "Hey, wanna have sex?" is a heinous crime.
We have to stop this hyperbolic fear-mongering bullshit.

I know that being a pathetic, insecure idiot isn't illegal, but Having them in cabinet-level positions is definitely a crime...
