‘ The assessment systems that are used to determine people’s ages are unreliable, poorly implemented, & often violate the legal rights of children’, leading to decisions that have life-changing implications for vulnerable young people in Europe #RefugeesWelcome#Rights#minors#Children#refugees https://buff.ly/3vQDEKi
Peeps misunderstand what age of consent laws do & how they work. They rarely even know what the law in their state is. and they have naive false rosy notions about Romeo & Juliet laws.
A #Montreal#billionaire who allegedly paid dozens of #minors for sex may try to hide his assets in case he loses a #ClassAction lawsuit, lawyer for the alleged victims told a Montreal court Friday.
Jeff Orenstein, who is representing the now-adult women in proposed class-action, said he wants #RobertMiller & his company, #FutureElectronics, to deposit $200M with the court for #safekeeping to ensure alleged #victims are paid.
Four more women have joined a class-action lawsuit alleging Montreal billionaire Robert Miller regularly paid minors for sex, and one of the newest plaintiffs says she was only 11 years old during her first sexual encounter with him.
A total of 39 women have now joined the class-action lawsuit, which has not yet been authorized.
Melissa Gira Grant thinks Democrats and progressives are being played by right-wing culture warriors, as Dems support the drive of the latter to push through a bill about kids' online safety. No one quarrels with the proposal to keep children safe online. But this proposal will go far beyond that goal, Grant thinks, and progressives supporting it seem oblivious to the full ramifications of what they're supporting.
Periodic reminder that if you ditch the zero-trust part, if you admit that trust matters even a tiny bit, you can ditch the consensus algorithm and run the entire blockchain exercise on one shitty five year old Android phone. A firstgen raspberry pi would be overkill. Seven transactions per second wouldn’t have stretched a 486 on dial-up in 1996 and the whole stack is an embarrassment.
I'm glad this shit is so illegal in Germany, customs police (enforcing labour laws and taxes) would kick in doors for even attempting to hire children... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMF6xEiAaY
I use Steam and all but the "games shouldn't be more than $1" attitude so many people seem to have developed is really maddening. And definitely helped curate this mobile era of total shit.
Of course, we're still getting great single player premium games, so I don't think it's mattered toooooo much. But still very disapointing.
@ravindra@SirTapTap not that I endorse any "Post-Release Monetarization" but whilst throwing money after #CSGO won't make one a better player or prevent one from playing.
