Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unbelievably creepy.
Fortify, for instance, ... tracks how often an individual masturbates in order to help them overcome “sexual compulsivity.”

I wonder what their privacy policy looks like...
Let's join the UK again - no more encryption and make protests are illegal. Also, same as China, Russia, Malaysia. W.T.F.
Imagine living an existence where you can't jerk it to whatever you want.
It sucks gopher nads, but not in a fun way. Especially being a liberal, and gay in such an environment. You'd think I was the worst criminal since Jeff Dahmer, yet I've never not towed the line, not payed my tithing, or dared to go out or date someone. I know what the mormons can do to someone they hate. And hate, they most certain do, and you do NOT want to cross that line with them.
generic fix for internet safety. at the house anyway. kid was blowing my cap on torrents. has different filters torrent/games/porn/malware, free. https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/
If you can self host, I recommend Pihole (or some other self-serving dns) with hosts.
I use Steven Black's myself: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
looks fiddly, did IT for 20 years and tired of chasing scammers. all I do is change router dns to opendns #s and let them sort lists. too easy to use
