At least my local county parks remained open (think they canceled their programs n' stuff but parks/trails never closed)

Don't think Wisconsin ever closed their parks either is where the good poo poo is around me since I'm so far north

They went around & took off the basketball hoops on the many courts. They put crime-scene tape around playground equipment. They had people guarding the beach cordons so you couldn't go for a quiet dip. They barred family members from visiting elders in substandard care homes, when family members are the only line of defense against elder abuse & neglect.

Just plain idiocy & cruelty from top to bottom.

that's not really true: even if it's an unencrypted wifi, snapchat and whatever all work over https. you can't snoop that poo poo as a third party, which means snapchat specifically intercepted the private group messages and forwarded them to the authorities

this is illegal in most countries, and *insanely* illegal in the EU, but instead of whatever corp runs the app getting fined for 10 billion over it, the kid's in trouble instead

the real lesson here is that you should never trust a channel you don't control yourself even with laws supposedly protecting you

what law is that? a lot of employers are gonna get locked up for monitoring email and messaging traffic, maybe all employers. google is gonna get arrested for sending you ads based on your emails

why would a private company need a warrant to inspect traffic that's on their own servers?

as an employee you probably signed something or another of dubious legality that might not or might not hold up in court

but for public services like twitter and snapchat reading private messages is very illegal under the privacy and electronic communications directive and GDPR in europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Directive?useskin=vector

most countries will have similar laws in place

i think you'll find customer personal data doesn't include message content, and when you join one of those sites you agree to language that says they can and do look at things so they can do content moderation (snapchat's TOS and data processing agreement say both those things). all of that is ok w/ gdpr as long as users are informed about it

unless the eu is queuing up a blockbuster case against every social media company that does algorithmic moderation (all of them) and we haven't heard about it

also if a conversation can be observed and moderated by a third party without one of the participants forwarding a message outside, then it wasn't really a "private" context to begin with?

its not illegal for 3rd parties to intercept data if its being used on their network (this would make using emails at a job impossible) and content is a massive gray zone that is not technically considered PII, but everything account related is. if content is considered PII then its impossible to store data for legal purposes. if someone makes some kind of threat or crime you need to hold that poo poo for legal agencies but remove it from public view.

the secret to Stanley's success? Lead.

quote:

Stanley responds to concern its cups contain lead:

“Lead is used in the manufacturing process, but the product needs to become damaged in order to expose the lead”

“Our engineering and supply chain teams are making progress on innovative, alternative materials for use in the sealing process,”

Do Stanley cups contain lead or pose a risk of lead poisoning? Experts weigh in

A third plaintiff, Arthur Charles Promey Jr., even claims he was denied parole in 2022, when the Department of Corrections allegedly told his family it was because “he was fired from KFC in 2019” — despite the KFC manager writing “a letter to the Parole Board specifically recommending him to parole in light of his strong work performance.”

Some of the more trustworthy prisoners perform unpaid tasks that keep the prison running so prison administrators could dedicate their limited staff to other functions, Almireo English claimed.

“Why would the slave master, by his own free will, release men on parole who aid and assist them in making their paid jobs easier and carefree?” English asked.

lol gently caress stanley so much. the materials and process already exist for using lead free solder in double walled vacuum insulated drink containers. they are currently being sold by at least one company. the reason stanley isn’t doing this is not because of the slow pace of innovation, it’s because they need to keep their prices low enough to hit the sweet spot of faux luxury middle class status symbol.

i used to thrift these bottles for a couple bucks but I threw them all away when I found out they had lead in them. i don’t give a poo poo if it’s “protected” by paint or a false bottom — I don’t want that poo poo any closer to my drinkware than it needs to be.
