Guy goes over Euro vs USA when it comes to the Internet.

Everyone freaking out over European sanctions today simply hasn't done the reading.What is happening now is the resolution of a 60-year-old question that the world has not (yet) answered: in a world where law is confined to borders, who gets to write the laws of the Internet?

There are two competing approaches. The European approach is that nations will broadly harmonize domestic censorship systems - EU, Australia, UK, NZ, Singapore all singing from approximately the same hymn sheet - and U.S. corps will have to also harmonize, or be locked out

The alternative approach is that borders have meaning and American companies, and American websites, follow American rules, with that choice being backed up by American power. I wrote about this in Sept. I call this doctrine lex loci machinae.

The nations and tech majors of the world sleepwalked into this problem by muddling along and trying to keep everyone happy, instead of asserting constitutional defenses along the way that only a handful of (usually tiny) companies would normally invoke.

The reason Europe is flipping out over the visa bans is because the "transnational harmonization" thing, vis a vis America, was always a bluff, and the second the USG indicated it wouldn't play ball anymore, that bluff was called. It's a new world.

The second America decides to enforce its borders online, and use its power to defend them, the transnational censorship harmonization approach collapses.Relations between states are not about laws. They are about power. America has more. American lawmaking can end the fight.

I have been planning for this day for ten years. It's why when the UK called me up in 2023 and asked if my clients would be obeying the OSA, I laughed and replied that they'd do that as soon as the UK could successfully invade America.

This is why "well EU law says X" or "UK law says Y" takes from the European side miss the point. They're trying to assert national laws over a transnational - or even non-national - protocol. In that domain, laws are silent and only power speaks.

My prediction is that U.S. countermeasures - of which the sanctions were a political warning shot, not the actual payload - will be enough to render the Online Safety Act and the Digital Services Act dead letters in America.Over to Congress to see if they deliver it.

Terrorists plotted to detonate weapons of mass destruction across LA, feds say in bombshell new charges​

Two suspects in a far-left “anti-capitalist, anti-government” extremist group known as the “Turtle Island Liberation Front” were charged Tuesday with plotting to detonate weapons of mass destruction in and around Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve in a bombshell grand jury indictment.

The FBI — with the help of a confidential informant and undercover agent — disrupted the planned attack, which was designed to “completely pulverize” tech...

the ringleader went by the name "ash kerrigan" which is definitely a reference to starcraft, anyways it was said they had "WMDs" but when you actually read the explosive materials they were using its more like punk explosives you throw at riot police during a summer of love.

Carroll shared she had purchased 13 PVC pipes and two five-pound bags of “potassium nitrate on Amazon using a burner account” for the bombs.

Black powder is a "weapon of mass destruction" now, I guess. Up there with atomic bombs, anthrax, and nerve gas. And you can buy it by the pound down at the Bass Pro Shop.

With only 104,000,000 pounds of black powder you can create a blast equivalent to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima!

There’s another guy that looks very similar to this dude that claims he can turn plastic into fuel efficiently or something to that tune. I think there’s another dude that looks similar to these two as well that has some whacked out mad scientist bit. Pretty fun, I’d like to think they actually care about what they’re doing.
