I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.
I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.
I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.
Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.
This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.
This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.
If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.
You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.
Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.
Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.
I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.

#Trump engages in #vexatious #litigation, #suing the #JusticeDepartment for $100 Million
It is #Dejavu all over again.
— The #searchwarrant was properly #authorized by a #judge, and found what it sought. Trump has no #grounds on which to #sue.

#Is the #Debt #Limit #Constitutional?
The 14th Amendment states that “the #validity of the #public #debt of the United States, #authorized #by #law ... #shall #not #be #questioned.”
Some legal scholars contend #that #language #overrides the #statutory #borrowing #limit, which currently caps federal debt at $31.4 trillion and requires congressional approval to raise or lift.
“The Constitution’s text bars the federal government from defaulting on the debt — even a little, even for a short while,” Garrett Epps, a constitutional scholar at the University of Oregon’s law school, wrote in November. “There’s a case to be made that if Congress decides to default on the debt, the president has the power and the obligation to pay it without congressional permission, even if that requires borrowing more money to do so.”
Other legal scholars say the limit is constitutional. “The statute is a necessary component of Congress’s power to borrow and has proved capable of serving as a useful catalyst for budgetary reform aimed at debt reduction,” Anita S. Krishnakumar, a Georgetown University law professor, wrote in a 2005 law review article.
The president has repeatedly said it is the job of Congress to raise the limit to avoid an economically catastrophic default.
Top officials, including Ms. Yellen and the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, have sidestepped questions about whether they believe the Constitution would compel the government to continue borrowing to pay its bills after the X-date.
