That’s a weird situation. Have you tried spinning up a second subnet on your modem?

Borrow someone’s computer? Use one at your local library?

This is Israel’s version of de-escalating an escalating conflict. Disgusting animals.

You can buy a raspberry pi and have Pihole setup on it. It’ll act as your local dns server and block any ad domains for the whole household.

Except my comment wasn’t regarded the California DoJ. It was regarding Kamala Harris. She spearheaded the initiative to take down the site. She talked about it and used it as a talking point on how tough she is on human trafficking. Except, what actions did she actually take on human trafficker’s? Why go for the platform that is easily replaceable and not the actual people perpetrating it? All she ended up doing was creating an environment that is less safe for sex workers and victims of human trafficking.

There has been one temporary ceasefire with hostage releases.

And there have also been instances of Netanyahu sabotaging getting hostages released as well.

Also remember the recent ceasefire for vaccinations.

You mean for polio right? The disease that started spreading because of Israel’s commitment to depriving children of basic human rights like clean water and healthcare, right? The same ceasefire where Israel has been reported not allowing vaccinators to enter right?

There are a string of other events that happened because of successful diplomacy.

And there’s a longer string of events of unsuccesful diplomacy on the Israeli side. I’ll also remind you that this list doesn’t start from October by the way.

Israel’s message to Hamas since the beginning of the war has more or less been: surrender or die.

Israel’s message to the Palestinian people is to simply die. Let’s not confuse what’s actually happening here.

Netanyahu never does anything in good faith. He is all about his personal advantage.

Oh, so you agree he’s untrustworthy?

You’ll be pleased to know that despite your attempt I got someone with that joke :)

What? No, it’s because they’re still alive silly :).

I actually remember learning that no one living in that area could be buried in the cemetery. Fun fact!

Given the events of the past 8 months would you say Netanyahu, and by extension the Israeli government, have been negotiating in good faith and actively trying to end the war?

Persons is used in a more formal context like legal document. People is used in conversations. This is generally speaking of course.

I could be wrong here but it may be that your sister is not laughing at your use of the word since it’s actually correct. it could be she’s laughing at your generalization of “those people” as that can sometimes be seen as condescending or derogatory.

Well if Israel says that then it must be safe for him. …Right?

We’ll know after the election.

It might be that these endorsements help bring in some more moderate Republicans to her side but there’s also a very real possibility that she disincentive the more left leaning voters from voting for her as well. Remember, Hillary lost because she didn’t do enough to incentivize people to vote for her. She just relied on people hating Trump and didn’t rely on people actually liking her. Regardless, this is all conjecture. It’s too early to tell and no one will have a definitive answer until the results are in and a winner is announced.

You’re kind of missing the point of my comment. I wasn’t talking about why didn’t they go after the actual owners. I was talking about why they didn’t go after the human traffickers using the site. The article goes in depth about how it did nothing but make it worse for the people stuck in the situation where they are forced to sell their bodies.

Last month, after a meandering legal saga in that follow-on case, the website’s 76-year-old co-founder was sentenced to five years in prison on a federal money-laundering charge. He reported on Wednesday to begin serving his sentence, while his lawyers appeal.

That was the co-founder. Not the actual perpetrators.

What kind of judge signs off on a request to keep a teen treatment facility open after a girls death and the regulators saying “They haven’t done enough to improve so we’re revoking their license”?

The thing that gets me is that if prosecutors like Harris know that sites like this is used for human trafficking; where is the bragging that they helped take those people down? Just like the article states, all they did was take down the site and let the actual offenders roam free. Everyone knows how flexible and versatile the internet is. Take down one site and several take it’s place. When you brag about taking down a site and not doing anything about the reason why the offenses on the site exist, then you’re just working to score political points.

EDIT: In case it wasn’t clear in my comment I want to stress that I am commenting on why prosecutors like Harris brag about taking down these platforms without ever bragging about taking down the human traffickers using said platform. I am not criticizing her for not going after the owners. I know she went after the owners. The article talks about it. But it also talks about not doing much to actually helping the people who need help.

These countries you’re thinking of are usually attacked regularly where survival is an everyday struggle. For people who dedicate their everyday to survival; it’s only expected that they would be fighting back.

In terms of funding…a lot of rich people would love to take advantage of people in this kind of situation. You could also easily make the argument that these rich people help cultivate this kind of situation for their own benefit as well.

A 1 year suspended sentence for having hundreds of CP pics on his phone? That’s just ridiculously low.
