How long should police hold on to reports that they don't do anything with? If I make a complaint to the police about you, should an unrelated interaction you have with the police 5 years later bring up that report? Do you have a right to be forgotten if you haven't been convicted of a crime? Do I have a right to be forgotten if I've filed a report (or reports) that the police determine is/are frivolous?
I can think of plenty scenarios where these records should be destroyed permanently after some amount of time - namely, if the police decide not to refer to a prosecutor, or if the prosecutor decides not to press charges, or if the defendant is found not guilty.
I would hope that this along with any other disclosure where the police decided on no action would be treated appropriately and only disclosed/acted upon if the incident was really worrying. On the other hand, I can't help but feel if the incident is worrying enough would it not also meet the bar for a criminal incident?
I'm not really comfortable with the naming and the lack of due process to be honest.
On the other hand, being careful what you say on social media is a requisite in many careers as companies can and do perform private background checks.
I've seen multiple issues solved like this after engineering teams have been cut to the bone.
If the cost of maintaining enough engineers to keep systems stable for more than 24 hours, is more than the cost of doubling the container count, then this is what happens
and that need grows exponentially with your understanding of the world until a certain point.
That need can be reduced to a healthy "Mom said everything is fine in moderate amounts" once you choose to not live by conflicting standards, or rather: when you choose to not support implicitly AND explicitly conflicting causes ( many on the left, finboys & fingirls, law enforcement, ... but unemployed who don't work on themselves or their environment as well )
Not really, you need a coping mechanism with all the crap and stupidity across society, and how powerless truth and correct moral behavior can be.
Alcohol is one of the worst ones, you just blunt yourself while still realizing all failures, just temporarily a bit downtuned, next morning back to misery. No solution or even improvement is happening, just basically giving up (or a bit of complaining which is just group psychological therapy).
Sports, meditation, maybe even occasional psychedelics steered in right direction, active vacations, good food, good sleep. Life is much easier in such mode.
The article is very clear these accounts are "bot-like" but don't make a clear claim, simply citing red flags of bot-ness. As noted below, they do not list out the 45 "bot-like" accounts in question, while they do cite specific "divisive political content" that is counter to a progressive political campaign.
So maybe so, maybe not. Not disputing that bots are a problem on X. But in this case, theres an obvious effort to lump in all anti-progressive writing as "divisive political content."
> Self-described ‘news’ accounts rapidly spread falsehoods around the perpetrator. One viral narrative falsely named him as “Ali al-Shakati”, a Muslim migrant new to the UK. This was later debunked by the police. Nonetheless, false claims surrounding the attack quickly garnered millions of views online, galvanised by anti-Muslim and anti-migrant activists and promoted by platforms’ recommender systems.
"It is illegal for me to explain my position" is some grade-A bullshit my friend. I'm still laughing at the sheer chutzpah at trying to make that argument. It's got that "I can't fight you because my fists are classified as deadly weapons by the government" level of teenager argument.
I'm just saying that the comment saying it's illegal to talk about this stuff in his country is entirely plausible, there are lots of examples of people being arrested and jailed for saying the wrong things about this situation.
Well then quit beating around the bush and say what you mean. How are the actions of a Christian, UK-born citizen relevant to the Muslim refugees who were being harassed and abused by British race rioters?
So your point is that the rioters aren't misled or ignorant, they're knowingly and voluntarily committing acts of violence & thuggery in the streets against innocent people on purpose? Not exactly a sympathetic bunch if so. ;)
It's wildly overpriced and never formed a huge part of Germany's electricity mix anyway.
Given the extortionate cost of building and maintenance and nonzero risks, its only really "benefit" is for the military industrial complex to keep a ready supply of nuclear skills and supply chains.
It's the latter that formed the basis of the American led PR campaign to shame Germany. Pioneering a low carbon zero nuclear generation mix was threatening to established nuclear. It had fuck all to do with the environment. None of them ever gave two shits about Poland's chronic coal addiction next door.
The police are responsible for deciding how to classify a report. Their decisions need to be audited to avoid corruption.
Ergo they have to maintain a record of reports they decided were not hate crimes.
