Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.

There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.

This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.

Its not racism or prejudice in the sense of judging people by immaterial qualities (skin color, sex/gender/ethnicity/etc) , it is the prejudice of Elitism. They think ONLY their elite compatriots are or should be eligible to doing the six figure job. There was a cute 80s movie that took this Elitism to task, The Last Starfighter.

It fits this pretty well.

The very same people who told right wingers to "go start your own" social media, when the whole big tech cabal collectively went after various people, are the same ones now complaining that they were banned without cause for posting on a Tuesday.

This isn't a pro or con right wing post, this is a "you made your bed now lie in it" post.

I'm not a fan of the bigoted posts from any side. People love the powers that be right up to and until they are on the wrong side of those powers. Take a moment and think things through, and lets stop being so damn tribal, and maybe, just maybe Liberty will survive.

"The only solution" is in fact, not the "only" solution.

The correct and LEGAL means for the police to gain access to the phone is to take it and seal it in a tamperproof container (aka electronic Faraday Evidence Bag), go to a court and ask for a warrant to search the contents.

We have established LAW and procedures for the state to gain access to the device. It is inconvenient ON PURPOSE. and serves as a checks and balance in legal proceedings.

IF that is the case, seize the phone, get a Search Warrant.

The problem is, the state couldn't be bothered following ESTABLISHED law and procedures.

Simply accusing someone of some unspecified crime isn't a right the state has to just bypass Constitutional protections, namely the 4th and 5th Amendments.

Americans have rights, secured in our founding Constitution. I don't care what feelings one might have to the rest of the case. Rights exist, enshrined and we ought to defend them tirelessly forever.
