There very much are law requiring archival, but now it's been ordered in the hearings as well. This makes it much more obvious that it's a problem.

I believe some people have been ordered to archive the chat so that it can be presented to Congress in the future. Trouble is, looking at the screenshots it's already gone as they had the message lifetime set to a week.

I wonder if this will be seen as destroying evidence .

You emigrate to Italy and then you'll be an immigrant from the US. One's a verb, the other a noun.

Once you have Italian citizenship you'll be able to live an work anywhere in the Schengen region. So a lot more options once you're in.

There are none (worth speaking about)

I totally accept that quantity shouldn't matter more than quality. I mean that's how we are where we are. I just don't think zero publishable results is a good sign either.

Well yes, obviously. It's even in the top post that the original was in 1959.

...but then they should perish (not literally).

If you've got nothing to publish, is your work valuable?

....with the vast majority unaware how many people were enslaved, how long the trade went on for, or for how long UK taxpayers were paying off a government loan to “compensate” enslavers after abolition.

Talk about having your cake and eating it.

Taxpayers paying for the freedom of enslaved people shows how dedicated the British people were to ending the Atlantic slave trade. The fact that they try to use this as a negative in our history stuns me. You can spin it as "compensating slavers" but the fact is the person was free. And at that time the UK did everything in it's power to free as many as it could by any method.

Yes, the empire has it's history with slavery and British citizens were involved in the slave trade. However British sailors died fighting to end to transatlantic slave trade. Sometimes, I expect there was British on both sides.

If you're going to educate people about our history you have to teach the negatives and the positives, and not spin the one in to the other.

Nobody started it. It's ever-present from prehistory to today.

I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we are going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit.

Please mean Boris!

Why would dissidents want to use something insecure? 🤔

That's most mistakes. They're still inadvertantly mistakes.

I'm just saying it's unremarkable.

I think Signal is getting tarred unfairly here. The thing that made that channel insecure was their ineptitude, not verifying who was in the group.

They gave a journalist the encryption key to their secure channel.

There's other, record keeping related, concerns with them using signal for communicating, but I don't think the security of Signal is being called into question when used properly.

inadvertent mistake

...as opposed to the other kind of mistake.

Every president since Carter has bombed Yemen (I think).

He's going to turn into a sand-worm?

With a journalist in the group there's no need for FOI requests. Think of the money saved!
