People are allowed to talk about voting here.

I believe their insinuation was political violence.

I do not. Even if it was, it is still best to suggest voting anyway.

I think 'restoring the ability to wiretap' is misleading as this is not 'restoring the ability', its more akin to 'wiretapping everyone all the time'. Wiretapping requires probable cause and a court order in order to be used chat control does not. It will report thousands daily and no one will be blamed or punished for false reports which turned out did not have probable cause. It was a reactive tool in the police's…

> Wiretapping requires probable cause and a court order in order to be used chat control does not Chat control does not allow the government to read anyones messages for any reason, so no that is not true. > Wiretapping was not retroactive. This system will create records that can be stored for a long time for very cheap. But storing these messages is illegal.

You are correct. I was still basing my post of the assumption that the AI scanning was still in the bill and that the proposed two strikes then chats would disclosed was there as well, which they is not. This provision seemed to imply that messages would have to be stored in order to be able to be provided after the two strikes.

I wasn't very clear in my original post always included an assumption that false positives were involved and that messages being stored were a result of that and not all messages being stored at all times.

The images and links that are scanned and is deems potentially problematic will be stored for up to 6 months or until they are deemed unproblematic. There is still a potential 6 month paper trail here, and in politically turbulent times that paper trail could still be damaging retroactively even if the report contains non CSAM.

That would be a crime. Khalil was not charged with any crime. The only conceivable reason to not charge him at this point, is because there is no evidence of him committing a crime.

The admin doesn't have to charge him, they can just revoke his visa and deport him. He passed out written Hezbollah materials. Like with their name, flag and logo on it. He shouldn't go to jail, but he is no longer welcome in this country.

That's not providing material support. It's just speech.
