Five hours after Charlie Kirk was shot this week, an Atlanta man got a phone call from an Illinois police officer asking about a photo he shared with a couple of close friends on a private Discord chat. The Atlanta man, who asked not to be identified, says the post was merely a confirmation that he had purchased the same T-shirt that the accused killer wore (from an Illinois-based online shop).
Social media companies are generally forbidden by law from divulging users’ private communications to the government without a traditional legal process (e.g., court order). But there’s an exception: in perceived emergencies, social media platforms can proactively and “voluntarily” hand over private messages in response to what’s called an “emergency disclosure request” (EDR).
Discord, I am told, did not respond to any EDR here; but when I asked them directly if they’d provided law enforcement with information to traditional legal process, they declined to respond on-record.
The FBI, or the intelligence community, evidently is monitoring Discord private messaging, even from people who have broken no law.
Full blown Orwellian world. Run for local government and stop this shit.
The largest populated areas are left leaning. If they ae controlled by democratic socialist, we can restrict this shit. Just by pure numbers.
not a single person gives a shit about charlie kirk; the whole crackdown is because politicians got a glimpse ofhow people will react when they die and they don’t like it.
They don’t give a shit about that either. Trump has been trying to goat people into violence and he final got his wish (possibly by his own people). They are seizing on that. That is why he moved the national guard into memphis TN. He wants marshall law to hold power forever.
Edit: spelling
Since we’re making corrections, the word is “goad,” not “goat.” You try to “goad” people into behavior or choices they wouldn’t normally make.
I try not to correct people much anymore if their message is still pretty obvious. I realized that offering too many corrections could cause people to post less, and I didn’t want to be the cause of that. But the fact that you were already willing to edit goaded me into suggesting another correction.
Also it’s martial, not marshal, which is reasonably important as martial means pertaining to war, i.e. the army running things.
I figured someone else would get that one. Other lemmings don’t seem to love it when I jokingly ask “who’s Marsha Law?”
Does this relate to Mars, God of war?
That is indeed the origin! https://www.etymonline.com/word/martial
Really got your goad there didn’t it?
What are you talking about? I’m a sheet farmer.
This is a great point out. Just like Chomping/ Champing at the bit.
Your good. Just don’t be the " it is it’s vs its" person when you have nothing to add. I just want to fight those people.

I hate you /s

Relax. It’s a common mistake.
Thats just a moo opinion… lol
I know spite can add a lot of years to odious tyrants, but sooner or later…
They all end the same way.
It is worrisome that he is goating people to violence with Christy Noam running Homeland security.
Using ICE and the national guard to overthrow the people. Well you always need a secret police force and military to tale over. He just picked the dumbest ones.
With Christy Noem in charge, the dog days of democracy are over. Because she put a bullet in its head for insubordination.
But no I agree I mean I always knew we’re going to get fashy here but I always thought the bad guys would have their shit together more.
Fascism usually ends the one of two ways, dead or fleeing to a different country.
A dead nazi is funny but at the end of the day they’re just another dead nazi. Now when Hitler or Goebbels eats shit, that’s a call for celebration.
