  • Unlike other data sources, this information includes gang shootings, domestic violence, shootings at sports games and afterhours school events, suicides, fights that escalate into shootings, and accidents.

    Using this wide definition is clearly muddying the waters of what is colloquially known as a school shooting. Those words make people think of uvalde and Columbine, indiscriminately shooting many of the kids. Suicides, accidents, etc are MUCH different and implying they’re the same is actively harming genuine discourse on the topic.



  • Digital millennium copyright act. It effectively moved the burden of proof for copyright infringement from the copyright owner to the accused, short-circuiting the existing IP laws, among other things.

    It is where much of the drama around copyright online stems from. It’s used as a way to quickly stifle anything someone posts that’s something you don’t like.

    It made circumventing DRM itself illegal, even if you’re not breaking copyright by doing so (even if it’s for your own research or backups).
