I’m glad this is on Lemmy.
Reddit would put you on a list, send it to DHS, and give you a 3 day ban…just for up-voting.
I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don’t think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.
US law enforcement subpoenas data centers and servers often. For a physical server, the FBI will leave a windows sever running and gain access, if it is a Linux sever however, they will to confiscate the server. I’m not sure what they do for cloud hosted servers.
All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.
Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don’t have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.
This. I work for a tech company that unfortunately gets quite a few subpoenas, from little police departments to the letter agencies, and I have pushed back on subpoenas and warrants that I felt infringed on peoples rights and “negotiated down” the scope of them. If a company isn’t willing to try and keep their users out of the legal crossfire they’re cowards.
A server in
.auis still part of the 5 eyes, so…True… I guess I’m not too knowledgeable about the situation in Australia. How would the US approach them and what legal avenues for resistance exist?
They’re not a fascist government but they also don’t seem to have the same free speech protections the US does. Not that that has helped us much,

We can’t spy on our citizens, we’ll just ask our buddies to do it for us.
Spying is a bit different from being compelled to share data though. Probably everyone is vulnerable to secret surveillance, I’m not sure how to mitigate against that. But the information from such efforts will be more limited.
That’s what motivated me to make an account here. Reddit are fascist sympathizers.
Me too. Right now I’m in the middle of a 3 day ban for saying that any country that needs genocide to exist, should not exist.
I don’t feel like going back after that one
I’ve collected two bans because I won’t stop saying that fascists are an existential threat and should be treated as such without mercy.
I’m 5 accounts deep since mango got reelected (allegedly)
My stress levels have dropped significantly since joining here. Fediverse seems brilliant
WTF are all US schools like that? With all that security it looks like it was filmed in an airport
Because we have school shootings all the damn time. It still won’t stop them from happening but it’s not like we’re gonna go after the source of the problem and ban guns anytime soon. Security theater is the best thing administrations can do and the kids are those who end up suffering the most out of it.
Cops at schools often escalate problems and use excessive force on children.
They’re part of the youth control complex. They exist to criminalize children, creating a new generation of victim they can use to justify their continued existence. Fuck the police.
Kids a fucking hero.
Anyone got some background on this? I’m outta the loop
Some asshole going around his school filming and announcing “I support ICE!”. He passes this guy who responds “I’m gonna punch you”, the filmer says “you’ll get in trouble”, to which the guy pictured replies “okay” and starts swinging
That is what we call “good trouble”.
Any word on what happened to this kid?
Are they arresting kids or just suspension or am I just showing my age?I’m not yet sure what happened to the kid that punched the fascist.
However, the fascist was apparently banned from Instagram for pulling fire alarms
I hope he’s doing alright
Reminds me of this photograph.
The mother of the woman was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the nazis. The guy later killed a Jew.
The nazi be like: i was just peacefully spreading hate and was unlawfully attacked by violent antifa!
