Those who would give up essential anime to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither anime nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin, probably.

If you can't watch me at my futanari, you don't deserve me at my ecchi.

The average person has no idea what a VPN even is.

He's apparently under 40 and capable of navigating the Internet. Very strange that he wouldn't at least bother to look it up online or something. Presumably he had to find the phone number he called so he seems capable of finding information. It really isn't that hard to set up a free VPN if you're literate and have Internet access. I'm someone who regularly defends people not using Linux because it's confusing for them, so I feel like I'm not being overly demanding here or anything. I'm pretty sure Firefox has a free one built in now. So, it might've been as easy as downloading Firefox and clicking a button. I'm not sure because I don't use Firefox like that, but still.

I'm seeing the parent of this comment thread as jdr@lemmy.ml.

I'm on sync, so maybe it's an app issue? Or maybe you're blocking .ml and can only see the OP that jdr replied to? Dunno.

Is every threat, no matter how plausible, considered terrorism, now?

That was always the point since those terrorism laws were passed. Any inconvenience can be articulated under that excuse and you can easily remove anyone by the same claims.

Everything working as designed.

Ah yes. I missed the word stab. I was focusing on the swear words. Still think terrorism is a stretch though

No, it's the name of a crime in the US basically meaning threatening to kill or injure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroristic_threat

FYI - it's because he specifically said that he was going to stab them. That's a very real threat and actionable, most people have access to knives.

Now saying you're going to cut their heads off with a guillotine? That's protected by free speech, and you'd 100% be able to argue that in court because I guarantee you don't have a guillotine or know how to build one (hopefully, maybe you do - in that case do not say this).

I mean, the Supreme Court just legalized copying. Millions of rare and one-of-a-kind books are being bodily destroyed just so they can be scanned in, which is pretty much the same thing.

If AI companies can steal content without repercussions, why not you?

I for one have been training a neural network using pirated content for years. It's an in credibly efficient large language model that runs off very little power and fits comfortably in the space between my ears.

Who the hell doesn't know how to build a guillotine? It's a knife hanging from a rope with guides on the sides. If you wanted to make a nice artsy one, you could just have one guided side.

We really need to teach the general public about Tor. ...or maybe not because that could cause governments to become a lot more interested in attempting to block or limit it too... :(

Tor is overkill for streaming and it burdens the network.

I should have said 'know how and have the means to do so'.

A guillotine also isn't something you can just take into a court room and start killing people with - it's not a weapon in the traditional sense.

I don't think there is a way I can prevent sending any money to someone in Texas, they have ports, they do a lot of oil refinement. I'm trying not to spend any money in Texas. They have a significant tourism economy, and I dislike the idea of giving tourism money to a state that is famously bigoted, anti-woman, and pro-christofascist.
