In Feb, he received a message: report to an #immigration office so the #tracking #technology could be updated. When he arrived, federal agents were waiting. They handcuffed him & put him on a vehicle bound for a detention center, where he has been ever since, acc/to an account from his wife & Jacinta González, the head of programs for the advocacy group MediaJustice…. He & his wife declined to be named for fear of harming his #legal proceedings.

I hate NYC with a passion. The city is dirty and filled with all sorts of degenerates from Wall Street to the gutters. Fvck America.

Within 45 minutes, the man saw the dead man and began to rummage through his pockets, the official said. The man then began to have sex with the body, according to the official and the document.

This German NGO stops companies from greenwashing products.

It’s not uncommon to see products sold on shop shelves that market themselves as ‘carbon neutral’ or ‘environmentally friendly’. But these claims are not always clear or backed up by evidence - and courts are forcing companies to take them down.

For three years, DUH has been taking companies to court for dubious advertising claims about climate neutrality.

The biggest trial in Meta's history starts today. Here's what to know - The FTC argues that when Meta acquired Instagram, in 2012, and WhatsApp, two years later, that it was part of a strategy to eliminate competition and maintain monopoly power over the social media market. The government contends that a "buy or bury" strategy propelled Meta's acquisitions, leading Meta to gobble up competitors it viewed as threats, or to squash the rivals out of business altogether. The FTC says this alleged behavior is illegal under federal antitrust laws. #meta #legal npr.org/2025/04/13/nx-s1-53584

"There are nonfungible tokens and digital collectibles; a decentralized finance project; a proposed stablecoin; an effort at Bitcoin mining; and a pair of memecoins, one for the president and one for First Lady Melania Trump. Taken together, the various projects are approaching $1 billion in paper gains even after accounting for the latest round of trade war-induced market gyrations..."

'Ireland's data privacy regulator is investigating Elon Musk's X. The country's Data Protection Commission (DPC) said on Friday (via Reuters) that it's opening an inquiry into the social platform's use of European users' public posts to train its Grok AI chatbot. In this case, Ireland handles EU regulation enforcement because X's European headquarters are in Dublin.'

Repeating, this is not legal.

It must be able to function via snail mail.

There is no requirement that forces people to have internet access.

It goes without saying that there was no internet when SSA was created. X was not around then either.

If the US Government wants to provide free internet to everyone, fine. Hell, give everyone a free spyphone.

But, there is no fucking way anyone should have to create an account on X.

This is flat out totally illegal, and insane.
