Why any? Why not pistols or rifles with small magazines?

Absolutely. This should not have been difficult; “we grieve the loss of these children and something needs to be done to force both sides into a ceasefire” was too controversial for the mega donors of Biden/Harris. Any talk at all of nudging the rightwing Israeli government was too unpalatable even though Chuck Schumer himself was publicly criticizing Netanyahu.

A little, but they lost many many votes by shutting out any pro-Palestinian voices from the DNC. They wouldn’t even let Palestinian-Americans endorse Harris at the convention, let alone talk about Palestinians suffering (but they stacked the convention with Israeli-Americans and families of hostages).

Is there any way to defend Biden’s failed policies without mentioning Trump?

That’s not the same as spying. Apple famously doesn’t hand over user data to ad companies.

Poe’s Law of the internet.

The article actually goes easy on them. The first plaintiff sued because the student was brought into the principal’s office and told they were being suspended for drug use, and as evidence showed a photo of them eating something in their room. It turned out to be Mike and Ike’s candy. The family was so upset they were spying on the child in their bedroom that it escalated to an investigation and then the scandal unfolded.

The school tried to backpedal and claim that the app takes photos on a timer and they had no idea, and this was proven to be a lie in court when they showed the IT training video explaining how proud they were of the webcam snooping feature.

Sounds very Klingon.

This just feels so counter to Trek ideals.

That was Apple’s fear.

But this app has no ROMs and the search page only takes you to a public domain homebrew ROM page. You can add and run your own ROMs but they don’t even mention it for fear of crossing Apple or Nintendo.

The App Store page says it but the app hasn’t asked me for it when I opened the app.

But Obama said he put safeguards in place!

Seriously, youre blaming the Iranian government for Someone getting their tire slashed?

My window was shattered, can I blame ISIS?

There’s a lot of trolls and bad people out there. When talking to people or debating someone, a handy tip is to try to assume the other person is acting in good faith until they give you a reason to doubt them. That way you’re not attacking a person for asking a legitimate question.

We need to treat the rightwing Israeli government like the pariah that they are. If North Korea was selling tools like this there would be consequences. Meanwhile Israel repeatedly sells Pegasus and other hack tools and spies on democracy activists.

The logic, whether or not you agree with it, is that drugs in general are hazardous and can kill or disable you, and they contribute to a black market and all the related crimes of drug trafficking and addiction. So punishments aren’t for drug use but for possession and trafficking.

Edit: to all the downvoters, I’m not advocating for draconian drug laws, I’m just answering OP’s question on why cops and lawmakers have such a policy and the logic behind it.

That still doesn’t mean they recommend “abuse.” Every doctor in the US must renew their medical license every few years and that means taking continuing medical education classes. Nobody is recommending therapy from the 70s anymore.

Also, it’s still vague about what this “abuse” is so it’s hard to debunk a vague accusation.

Who wrote this rubbish? Doctors aren’t willingly recommending abuse, and most of them refer to specialists.

Poe’s Law. Without a sarcasm tag it’s impossible to know if the person is being sarcastic or is that extreme.
