People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

encryption merely gives officers an opportunity to use the wrench attack (https://xkcd.com/538/), but wealth beyond all necessity gives one full immunity against the law in the places where these people live.

There need to be dangers beyond 'law'.

There are, but the law dislikes the competition and few militaries are willing to try against those in the USA. People are murdered for ill deeds (both bombed and shot on the street), and kidnapped by gangs or "special forces".

people are murdered for ill deeds

The two people i can think of to have done that in living memory were christopher dorner and whoever luigi mangione took the fall for.

There are more, but we run into issues with sorting motivations and which victims we mean to include. Periodically a rapist or murderer will be killed by the family of the victim when the perpetrator is felt to get a disproportionate punishment. Widening the geographic scope, I understand Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed in a shootout with the USA military. As previously stated, whom to include is a difficult decision.

true but not sure how relevant. it's not like we can choose between encryption and being wealthy beyond all necessity. (or is there some hidden about:config setting?)
