Canada is memorable for freezing the bank accounts of truckers who objected to Covid vaccinations.
With Britain you can look up the case of Nigel Farage who got debanked.
In the case of the EU here are few interesting ones.
Since when is it OK for governments to sanction people when they are lawfully expressing disagreement with Govt policies or views?
This isn't really about the ICC judges. It is about the failure of the major Western countries who are part of the ICC to come to the defence of the judges who they have appointed to make those decisions, and the control Israeli politicians exercise over the White House, ie the US President himself.
Americans don't seem to understand how the moral character of their politicians and their political system is relentlessly degraded by the so called Israel lobby, or they don't care, or have resigned themselves to it.
Sanctions of those kind or usually applied to corporate entities, state entitities or militant political groups aka "proscribed terrorist organizations". They are not intended to applied to individuals carrying out their legitimate duties in organizations approved or even created by America's own allies under principles America subscribes to, even if they are reluctant to submit themselves to those organizations.
And yet on account of Israel, the US applies these sanctions to judges carrying out the duties lawfully, and somehow they don't see how whimsical, capricious, petty and infantile such decisions are and the poor light they present the US in.
The antitrust fines they impose on those American companies may simply be regarded as a cost of doing business.
When it comes to being indifferent to the welfare of the general populace, they are just as bad as anything else.
For years they have studiously ignored the fact that the mobile phone is the place where many people engage with IT and have been faffing about in the desktop and server space.
Instead of leading they have always trailed behind. What they should have been doing was focusing on the software vision which they will most definitely screw up.
Focus on the software vision and wait for the deblobblable hardware to emerge or commission their own hardware from scratch.
I'm sorry but these guys have and will always be useless, much like the Wayland project.
How many years has that crew taken to create something fully capable of replacing X11?
I can't take these jokers seriously.
Years after mobile phones came onto the market they are now planning to create their own phone.
Everyone owns their key and uses it to exchange their info with others.
Its not complicated and has existed for ages.
Simple fact is people should learn more about IT and exercise more control over their affairs instead of handing it over to corporations.
What I see here is basically or low income probably poorly educated couple who didn't have the intellectual knowledge/capabability to seek proper legal support and advice to fight the case.
This is nothing more than the abuse of the justice system, otherwise known as lawfare.

The usual HN post where the threads which are tangential to the topic always rise to the top.
How much irrelevant dross to readers have to read through before they get to comments on the actual product?
Time to sit back and see if this one will also rise to the top or somewhere near.
Question is what has failing to make good offline backups got to do with AI?
And the AI company is going to compensate him for that?
If the Navy admirals truly believed they had real wars to fight and thus needed field serviceable equipment, would they write contracts that expected manufacturers to fly civilian service technicians into battle zones to fix equipment when the navy itself has technicians that are way more skilled than the manufacturers technicians?
Take the sheer nonsense coming from the Government and the Navy.
> The ship was struggling to feed its crew of over 4,500 because six of its eight ovens were out of action, and sailors were barred by contract from fixing them themselves.
Are we to believe that the US has placed its defense into the hands of people who will refuse to fix the equipment the nation's defense depends on when it is very necessary because doing so would breach contractual obligations?
Why doesn't the Navy then design its own equipment and subcontract the manufacturing so they don't have to deal with commercial suppliers restricive contracts? They surely have people with the knowledge and skill to do so. I hope in real war if such a situation arose their enemies would bomb the heck out of them on account of this foolery.
This nonsense sums of the title of the book - "War is a Racket"
Didn't Grok inform him on how much he could make if he did so?
The built-in search software for a lot of forums is for lack of a better term, abysmal.
Consider this search on SO - user:172406 javascript userscript
consider the same search on google - vfclists javascript userscript.
It is the first answer on the list and note that I didn't add "stackoverflow" to the query.
You don't think the omission of encryption and lack of authentication imply a criminal absence of due diligence.
I guess some huge contracts are in the offing fix those necessary features which should have been built-n in the first instance.
You get a full-blown programming language for free ;)
Click-baity title?
If it is not suspicious then why has the comment been deleted, causing this comment to rise to the top level?
Why the exact repeat of the earlier post under a different name or some bots at play here?
Who are the people you view as choosing to be dangerous to others?
It is those forcing dangerous vaccines onto others or those refusing them?
