    So what? We have hate speech laws in Europe. Try saying "the holocaust never happened" or "homosexuals are vile creatures" and you will see what can happen to you. There's no free …

    We should abolish prisons then? It's a ridiculous argument. Abuses can happen with full backing of the courts, but I expect them to not happen. In all the years that this system ha…

    They never "locked it down", they just rate limited some vital endpoints and never bothered to add endpoints for new, important features. My own recommendation: disassemble any off…
