> If it did solve a problem, it's possible it would be legal.
FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor. I think this illustrates how a law can protect problems rather than solving them.

That's our new norm too. We still subscribe to a number of streaming services - but we count on piracy to get the experience that we pay for.
With respect, this is just propaganda. That is not about banning books, that is about keep certain kinds of books out of school libraries. School libraries already kept other classes of books. This reminds of when Gavin Newsome or Pink tried to claim conservatives states banned "To Kill a Mocking Bird," which was not only untrue but it was the case that in their foolishness, they did not realize California banned the book, if anything.
> That is not about banning books, that is about keep certain kinds of books out of school libraries.
Keeping unliked books out of school libraries by banning them - that is about banning them. I feel propaganda isn't the best label for what is an accurate portrayal.
You are free to buy those books in Florida and give them to your kids. They are no more banned than other forms of pornography. Again, liberals like Gavin Newsome made this claim ironically about “To Kill a Mockingbird.” It is so interesting for liberals to hold to this view. It really is an 80/20 or 90/10 issue once the facts of this situation are revealed.
> I would love to see someone come out with services for music, movies, books that are just APIs you subscribe to and can use any client you want.
It won't happen because the one thing more important than money is control.
In the 1990s, the recording industry choose to leave money on the table rather than allow digital music to risk their gatekeeping power. It took years for Apple to bully the MPAA into allowing digital distribution.
A court that considers Gov's acts of revenge and opts to provide cover for those abuses - it's a court has become part of the wrong that needs righting.
Got a new phone today. The first two things I do to every handset are 1) root the device and 2) disable the alerts - all of them, especially presidential.
Amber alerts were broadcast for only 1 in 1000 missing children in 2021
of issued Amber alerts, ¾ do not appear to help at all
we may argue that even a low success rate is acceptable if it
prevents a child from being murdered. The twist is that the
issuance of Amber alerts is often too slow to thwart these
extremely rare abominations.
¾ of children who are both abducted and murdered are killed
within the first 3 hours of the kidnapping.
on average, children who are recovered after what police deems
a successful Amber alert are found 15 hours later.
