Yeah, agreed. The war in terror has normalised just assassinating people without any due process, we don’t even stop to think how messed up that is.

Also why they keep targeting journalists and social media influencers.

And again, the media is just accepting the logic that just because one of the people is an accused terrorist (which I doubt is the case anyway), it makes it ok to kill everyone around them.

He can’t keep getting away with this!

Ah, didn’t know this was only agreed to by Lebanon, not Hezbollah. That’s weird, Lebanon wasn’t even involved as an entity (besides getting bombed by Israel, I guess).

And yeah, your last paragraph is spot on. Someone will fire back, and that’s the only breach we’ll hear about in Western media, never mind the facts.

I knew Israel wasn’t going to abide by the ceasefire as soon as I read the terms. Hezbollah now retreated, Israel has 2 months to basically destroy and depopulate South Lebanon, and when the 60 days are up they’ll find some reason to stay. And by then Trump will be inaugurated, so there’s not even going to be any pretense of pressure from the US to stick to the ceasefire at that stage.

I don’t really get why Hezbollah agreed to this, presumably they should know better?

They’ll be driving multiple cars at the same time, while drunk.

They’ll get Trump in 20 years, you’ll see.

American exceptionalism is really a disease. They think they’re somehow different.

Yeah, funny Israel gets 2 months to retreat. My bet is they won’t.

Venues are taking a cut of that as well now in some cases. It’s disgusting honestly.

It’s definitely being logged by your Telco and phone manufacturer. Police can send them warrants to ask which phones were in X area around Y time frame and go from there.

Yeah, he specifically gets boosted across the site, which is why he ended up in everyone’s feeds.

Well yes, but no.

That’s why I said “regulations like the GDPR”. The US and other blocs need similar regulations. Especially the US is important, as they’ve shown that they’re willing to stretch the size of their jurisdiction to sometimes absurd lengths.

That’s usually a bad thing, but in this case that might be good.

The US really needs to work on getting privacy rights in the constitution. There were some implied rights, but the current court’s busy rolling out back.

A well run, non-partisan campaign could fix this.

It’s not like companies that use Linux don’t get breached either. Your personal data is in thousands of databases that have varying levels of security. Personal choices don’t affect any of that, regulations like GDPR are what’s needed.

The only democracy in the middle east…

I mean, if they can somehow come up with something better than activitypub, that would be great, from what I read it’s actually not that efficient. But yeah, decentralisation is not something you can just tack on, so I’m sceptical too, especially since they’re trying to raise VC money, which is not something you do when you want to build an open protocol.

It’s been clear from Gen X onwards that we’ll have a worse life than our parents, of course you’ll get anxious about it. You can probably plot this on the same chart that shows the rise of income inequality.
