Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.

-- Clement Attlee

While prima facie, that's true, your reply doesn't mention that anything has been uncovered coupled with the fact that Trump has a history with frivolous and vexatious litigation kinda makes me think this is nothing more than pretext. Though the boy that cried wolf is a parable for a reason. So one shouldn't drop their guard. It's just a shame one man can clog up the court to this extent. There are remedies that courts can take against vexatious litigants, though.

"I didn't expect them to eat my face"

"Cash or card".

Even in their worst excesses, any legislation cannot change a deeply held moral position. Oh they can try, but the best (worst) they can do is legislate action and communication.

Not so sure that it can't be tailored to big businesses. Regulations carve out exceptions all the time based on employee count, annual turnover, customer count (hits), etc

Criticising Israel can be antisemitic. Just check out the IHRA definition of antisemitism . Basically you can't say that:

• Israel is a racist endeavour
• Comparing Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Say that they use murder (especially of Christians) for ritual purposes.

Not gonna lie, this is kinda a refutation of the whole open source model. I was led to believe that it shouldn't matter who writes the code, as long the code is able to be interrogated/corrected.

Let me paint a picture that, I think is plausible within the law. Trump directly orders an assassination. With it comes a carrot (a general immunity for the killing). And the stick (a court marshall for disobeying a direct order from your superior, plus your name on a hit list). Then, he just has to go down the line with the same offer until someone bites. Once that happens, he will order them to go down the hit list with the same offer. Hell, he could deputise a militia to do the dirty. Not saying he would, I'm just pointing out the outer bounds of what is perfectly legal. And if the Republicans have a clean sweep nothing can or will stop him. Even without a clean sweep, he could threaten the life of any politician.

Yep, a root and branch routing of anyone who won't pledge their allegiance to Trump above all else.

If this is any guide, maybe there should also be an upper age limit, too.

Well the devil is in the detail. However, what appears is being mooted is it will only affect big social media corporations. A Lemmy instance is hardly big business. Not that I'm discounting creeping regulation moving into the fediverse.
