It should be obvious why this is problematic ...
https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/destruction-of-evidence
> destruction of evidence that is relevant to a case .. or an inference that such evidence can be unfavorable. ... victim of the spoliation [the state] must prove that the destruction was intentional [it was] and also the destroyed evidence was relevant to the issue ...
Literally what Google is doing, if Google deleted location data of all the J6 rioters this wouldn't even be a question if they deleted evidence, because its abortion, everyones ok with it, double standards.
thats a bit of a white washing job, there was 1000's of posts about the risk/effectiveness of Astrazeneca and the JnJ vaccine that were removed from social media, labeled as misinformation (but were accurate).
The biggest message was "the best vaccine is the first one available", so while we eventually gravitated to Pfizer/Moderna ... it was based on supply and not "the science".
I don't doubt China is hiding info, but America was not exactly a light in the darkness as you're painting it to be.
Like the story of truckers attempting to burn down an apartment building[3], that turned out to be completely false, but used to prove violence and justify the emergencies act.

Damn, I assumed he said something racist maybe, but this is what the issue was about, I just lost all respect for MIT.
compelling a party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats, including propaganda or force.
They're clearly coerced, unless you don't think getting fired falls under threats.
They 100% did, an article from 2011/2013 about the government distributing low cost appliances[1] and free houses[2]. They were getting tons of free and cheap stuff and the people were celebrating it.

I don't know the German system, but in many countries this would be fraud, and possibly election interference since the goal was political suppression.
"vaccine producers are immune from liability", is not false but is anti-vaccine ... its taken down.
When reports about problems with AstraZeneca were coming out, those were tagged as misinformation, today most countries no longer give out AZ vaccine.
Theyre suppressing truthful info, why should you trust anything they say?
> Portland City Council stands with the people who may one day face difficult decisions about pregnancy, and we respect their right to make the best decision for themselves.
Also Portland, "Portland to city employees: Get COVID-19 vaccine or lose your job" [1]

> the court held that because Prodigy was exercising editorial control over the messages that appeared on its bulletin boards through its content guidelines and software screening program, Prodigy was more like a "publisher" than a "distributor" and therefore fully liable for all of the content on its site.
A company should not be able to act like a publisher and determine what stays on their service and when someone sues them for libel they claim they're not a publisher and hide behind the shield.

> At its core, Section 230(c)(1) provides immunity from liability for providers and users of an "interactive computer service" who publish information provided by third-party users
> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
His case didn't involve fraud like here but it sets a precedent for causing undue burden on a computer system.

On a side note, can anyone explain why covid mandates are fine but abortion laws are evil? Those groups have heavy overlap of supporters and both are about bodily autonomy.

And I don't believe we have even begun to see the psychological / developmental effects of isolation and distance learning on young kids.
Thats pretty damning for the government and a confirmation of what anti-lock down protesters have been saying since last year.
If they let under 65s free while sheltering the vulnerable and keeping mask and distance protocol would there be 4x the covid deaths, probably not.
And we could have avoided the ~$400+ billion dollar deficit.
With Obamacare:
> Although insurers can’t charge more for health status, they can charge up to 50% more for smoking status [1].
Under HIPAA:
> What are HIPAA's protections from discrimination?
> ... you may not be charged more than similarly situated individuals based on any health factors. [2]
Vaccines are a health status, I would think this move by Delta is illegal, but Covid Emergency Powers has given the green light for all types of discrimination and broken laws.

> A California company that specializes in removing celebrity photos from the internet notified an unnamed public figure ...
He was caught by random chance of this company.
> He gained unauthorized access to photos and videos of at least 306 victims across the nation
> Investigators soon discovered that a log-in to the victim’s iCloud account had come from an internet address at Chi’s house
Not very sophisticated, but very effective, glad they shut him down but we really need to teach basic internet security in schools.
> until the proof-of-vaccination requirement is lifted next year
I think we have vastly different definitions of what temporary means
Domestic vaccines passports, the weapons lab theory and yearly booster shots ... not conspiracy theories anymore.
This is why people are losing trust in classical institutions like NYT and turning to places like Epoch Times.
The internet has pulled the curtain back and showed people the amount of lies and propaganda coming from all sides. You can't keep censoring information and expecting people to accept it.
Apple has already proven it will concede to China's demands.
They are building the worlds most pervasive surveillance system and when the worlds governments come knocking to use it ... they will throw their hands up and feed you the "Apple complies with all local laws etc.."
We'll be hearing that a lot soon.
And this is the company people are trusting to scan photos on their devices in their pockets for the sole purpose of alerting the police.
If immunity is waning after ~1 year, will people who supported passports continue to support them when told they need to be triple vaccinated?
Probably not, and any credibility health authorities had left with the vaccinated population will be gone.
You know there are people who (3) want mandatory vaccinations, passports and those without to be lockdown, fired, etc and then (4) the other extreme, for non-vaccinated people to be thrown into the ovens.
(2) is the reasonable spot, but most people (social media) and politicians seem to be pushing (3).
Bill C-10 and C-36 are horrific China emulating policies, loose definition of "hate speech", bypassing courts in favour of human rights tribunals with 100% conviction rates and no requirement of evidence, preventative enforcement by police.
With C-36, even saying something truthful, if causes perceived harm is a punishable offence.
People with money and skills will continue to move south.
- Almost half of vaccine hesitant respondents reported fear of side effects and not trusting the COVID-19 vaccine;
- over one-third reported not trusting the government, not needing the vaccine, and waiting to see if safe.
Seems reasonable, I expect as time goes on the first group will get smaller. The group that doesn't trust the government, new forceful policies will dig them in further.
I don't know the Australian laws, but many countries have been hiding behind covid to push authoritarianism.
Cheering vaccination passports and mandatory vaccines, I wonder when the public realizes the mistake they made in giving the government so much power.
