"A proposed change to U.S. federal prison rules that would punish inmates for using social media or directing others to do so on their behalf could infringe on the free speech rights of people who advocate for incarcerated people, activists say."
"Social media is also used to blow the whistle about poor living conditions, civil rights violations and abuse inside prisons."

Resisting commenting on a bad take about intrusive thoughts. As a rule of thumb, it's just in someone's head.
Any civil liberties cases you think I should be following?

"Cities all across the United States have been increasingly passing laws that punish people who are forced to sleep outside each night due a lack of available shelter and extreme housing shortages. The Supreme Court will soon decide if doing so violates the #EighthAmendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, in a case that arose out of southern Oregon and is arguably the most significant case on homelessness in decades."

"Key federal lawmakers Sunday unveiled a sweeping proposal that would for the first time give consumers broad rights to control how tech companies like Google, Meta and TikTok use their personal data, a major breakthrough in the decades-long fight to adopt national online #privacy protections."
"it is seen as “complementary” to other bills on child safety"
How about dropping the unconstitutional censorship bill (which actually undermines privacy)? #kosa #FirstAmendment

Children who are referred to Prevent for wearing pro-Palestinian badges could be impacted for the rest of their lives.
Their data will be retained on the Prevent database for at least 6 years and up to 100, even if their case requires no further action.

Hi Jillian. There is a concerning attack on free expression which might be of interest to you (and the EFF):
https://nichegamer.com/dlsite-temporarily-blocks-major-western-payment-processors/
The art / sexual expression (of non-existent) people should be compatible with the First Amendment (if that is relevant) and local law (including the local Japanese Constitution, Articles 19 / 21 of which contain a right to free expression).
Perhaps relevant:

Someone is trying to convince me that climate change is not real. Presumably, those wildfires and floods appeared out of thin air. Maybe, my old pal Gaia is angry about censorship, lol.
Obviously, Dio immediately comes to mind when I think of this anime, lol.

"Elf miljoen Nederlanders worden geautomatiseerd door de politie gevolgd in de basisregistratie personen. Velen zelfs al sinds hun baby- en kindertijd. De politie overtreedt hiermee diverse wetten. De dienders en de korpsleiding weten dat al jaren, maar trekken zich er weinig van aan."
