The law clearly states that Tiktok is banned and should be made inaccessible. The president cannot unilaterally change the law. They even got a lawyer to explain this to them.
Regardless of what you think of the ban, there can be no doubt about the fact that this is what the law says. No matter what Trump claims. If journalists show this level of misregard for truth and the rule of law, things are going to become much worse.
Sure, but that doesn't fix any of the problems that this article highlights. Large areas of the globe are becoming unhabitable and yet the current policy is to keep people there through subsidies and legal threats for insurance companies instead of actual prevention and mitigation. Basically burying the head in the sand while everyone else is paying the price.
To quote the article:
If rebuilding a house destroyed in a "100 year flood" once made sense, now that there's a "100 year flood" every five years, rebuilding in that locale no longer makes sense. So why should taxpayers absorb the costs of this selective blindness to the realities of rising global risks?
Solidarity and collectivization of risk is essential for things like healthcare, where your risk is almost entirely depending on luck. But for home disaster insurance, it depends much more kn where and how you choose to build. It then makes little sense why living in particularly dangerous areas should be subsidized. That money should rather go towards climate adaptation.
Very well said. Just wanted to clarify that the notion that men should always be strong and heroic is still toxic masculinity. Strength shouldn't be celebrated for its own sake, what matters is how it's used. Appreciate the men who struggle against anxiety and social expectations to still do what is right.
I know that's probably what you mean, but that last paragraph gave me flashbacks.
No respectable newspaper would platform a foreign billionaire trying to meddle in an election. The fact that the owners pushed this through, overruling their own staff, should be a clear sign to everyone: billionaires buy up news organizations to influence the population and undermine democracy. Even if the individual journalists have the utmost integrity, they will just get strong armed by upper management. The same thing happened with Bezos and the Washington Post.
The reason people say these one or two users are trolling is not because of their pronouns. It's because they demand accommodations that go well beyond pronouns and most of their posts are playing the victim.
Very true. I do hope that the one or two trolls who instigated this post stop getting free rein to start drama. Pronouns should be respected, narcissism should not.
"Something must be done. Milei is doing something, therefore that must be done"
See how that is a fallacy?
I'm not sure what other options there were
Argentina is the victim of decades of capitalist exploitation. There is no quick fix (no matter what the Wolverine-wannabe would have you believe). Cutting spending is probably part of the solution, but the distribution is crucial. Milei is mostly targeting the poor and selling out to foreign investors. That makes the numbers look good, but only benefits the rich.
It's sad to see people fall for this obvious scam. He's using vague, unsubstantiated promises to legitimize a massive robbery of the working class. Poverty and unemployment are rapidly growing while the rich get richer. There's no economic justification for this, it's just grift.
You seem to misunderstand the concept of international law.
I'm talking about how it is defined in international law
There are various widely adopted treaties that give specific definitions for crimes against humanity. In this case, the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Point is, there is absolutely no way to get states to agree on any of this
And yet 196 states, including France and Israel, have ratified these conventions (fully or in part). 125 states, including France but not Israel, have ratified the Rome statute and thus accept the ICC jurisdiction. States agree to these treaties because of diplomacy: you get taken less seriously if you don't ratify these.
Of course, this system of international law breaks down when states flagrantly break it without repercussions, like Israel and France in this case.
I'm sorry, but I think you're mistaken. May I ask where you got this information?
As I understand it, the DPF is merely an executive order and not a federal law, so it's very limited in what it can do. It doesn't create the ability to enforce fines through US courts because breaking the GDPR is still perfectly legal under US law.
This loophole is still used unfortunately. For example, Clearview AI was fined by various data protection authorities, but their fines cannot be enforced so the company just never paid up.l
