My point is that lobbying for your legislation that benefits and enriches your spouse and their employer can apply to anyone too, not just right wingers

Point taken, but lobbying to remove citizens rights is usually the domain of the right is my point.

So a guy in Calgary has his bus tickets denied, accused of forgery, because the system prints his tickets in French. Typical Alberta Red Neck hilarity ensues:

$1:
The response so far has been six abusive phone calls, too many Twitter reactions to list and 24 emails.

"Hey faggot! tak ur french bullshit ... and get the f--k out of my town!!! If i see you in MY BEAUTIFUL CITY kickin up shit storms over NOTHIN i'll take ur f--kin head right off ...," one response read.

"This is just the kind of b&llshit that one should expect from a pinko hippie leftie entitled faggot artist like you.… You best hope I never see your pouting smug little victim face … if I do, then you will get a big lesson in humility comin," read another message.

"I will happily curb stomp you out of your misery if I every (sic) happen to come across your sorry sight," was yet another message.

And those weren't the worst of the messages, Maciak said. He didn't share them initially, but this reporter felt they provided necessary context.

'Sneaky way to make people feel othered': Sherwood Park resident rips down anti-Muslim sticker

Image

A Sherwood Park resident who removed an Islamophobic sticker from a sign near her bus stop says she's angry about the attempt to spread hate in her community.

Trish Agrell-Smith said she was headed to a bus stop near Fir Street and Cedar Street last week when she spotted the sticker on the back of a sign.

"The sticker is not a platform for sharing ideas. It is an anonymous, subtle, sneaky way to make people feel othered," she said.

Text on the sticker asks if Islam is a religion of peace, and lists a website where readers can learn more. The web address leads to a crudely constructed blog featuring lengthy posts that draw on racist ideas, referencing white supremacist tropes and warnings against multiculturalism and diversity.

That's why a guy like Corey Fleischer, if someone reports graffiti or shit like this above, they can call him (in his area) he will come get rid of it for free. He runs a graffiti removal company.

The sticker is factually correct though. Islam is not a religion of peace. And neither are any of the others.

Support this organization and those who are trying to leave religious-based brutality behind:

Lawn sign threatening to shoot Liberals draws condemnation

Solarina Ho


Published Sept. 23, 2019 12:12 p.m. ET

Updated 1 hour ago

TORONTO -- A homemade lawn sign that seemed to jokingly threaten to “shoot every 3rd Liberal” drew criticism on Monday from election candidates and the public.

Karen McCrimmon, the Liberal candidate for the Kanata-Carleton riding in Ottawa, posted a photo on Twitter of the sign, and wrote: “Ok… I must admit to struggling with this but I decided that by being silent, I would not do right by my team or by my beliefs that politics should be civil.”

“When we see an example of intolerance or suggestions of violence, we must challenge them.”

The sign warned, “2nd one just left.”

Better assault and arrest her for protesting.

But the right is the champion of freedom!

Teenage Girls Are Leading The Climate Movement — And Getting Attacked For It

A new movement of teenage climate activists — most of whom are girls — are getting dragged, doxed, hacked, and harassed online.

On the morning of August 25, 11-year-old Lilly Platt tweeted a video clip of a Brazilian Amazon tribe speaking out against deforestation. Awareness of the Amazon wildfires was already at a fever pitch, and the tweet exploded. Then, within an hour, a swarm of troll accounts started flooding her mentions with porn.

Shortly after the attack, her mom, Eleanor Platt, made an online plea for help: “Dear Friends of Lilly, this is Lillys mum she is being targeted by revolting trolls who are spamming her feed with pornography. There is only so much i can do to block this. Please if you see these posts report them.” Over the course of the day, some of Lilly’s nearly 10,000 followers did just that.

Young girls like Lilly, who has been striking in her hometown of Utrecht, Netherlands, every Friday for the last year, are overwhelmingly leading a growing global movement to draw attention to the climate crisis. They spurred an estimated 4 million people across seven continents to walk out of work and school on September 20 — and they are getting attacked for it. They have faced a barrage of daily insults, seemingly coordinated attacks (like the one that targeted Lilly), creepy DMs, doxing, hacked accounts, and death threats. This is the new normal for young climate leaders online, according to BuzzFeed News interviews with nearly a dozen of the kids and their parents.

Personal attacks have always been a part of the climate denial playbook, even as fossil fuel companies secretly funded campaigns and researchers to question the scientific consensus on climate change. The most famous incident, 2009’s Climategate, involved scientists getting their emails hacked and then facing death threats. And as the politics of climate change begins to mirror the broader dark trends of global politics, weaponized social media — in the form of intimidation, memes, and disinformation — has emerged as the dominant vehicle for climate denial.

But the rise of a new climate movement means there’s now a much more visible — and especially vulnerable — target: kids.

The clearest example of this is what's happening today with climate activism’s biggest star, Greta Thunberg.

The 16-year-old Swedish crusader single-handedly launched the climate strike movement last year and has become the biggest target for attacks on climate activism online. Climate science deniers, right-wing media pundits, and politicians are the most high-profile figures fixating on everything from her braided hair to her Asperger’s to the motivation behind her strikes.

On August 14, as Greta set sail across the Atlantic for a packed trip involving multiple strikes, testimonies to Congress, and the United Nations climate summit in New York, former UK Independence Party funder Arron Banks tweeted that “Freak yachting accidents do happen in August.” Shortly after Greta’s arrival in the US, Maxime Bernier, a Canadian politician associated with extreme far-right groups, wrote: “She should be denounced and attacked.” A viral tweet from conservative firebrand Dinesh D’Souza after the global climate strike hit at another recurring theme: comparing Greta to children in Nazi propaganda. On Monday, a Fox News guest called her “mentally ill,” a jab at her Asperger’s diagnosis, prompting the outlet to issue an apology. Shortly after the UN summit, President Donald Trump tweeted sarcastically, “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!”

Meanwhile, upward of 5,000 tweets by suspected bots have mentioned Greta, according to an analysis by Bot Sentinel provided to BuzzFeed News.

But it’s not just Greta. Other young girls in the movement are facing a flood of online abuse. It’s less clear where those attacks are coming from, but they involve a mix of regular accounts, trolls, and bots. While the youngest activists are often shielded from this, due to constant monitoring of their social media by their parents, there’s no filter for many of the teens. Jamie Margolin, a 17-year-old climate activist in Seattle, described how it felt experiencing a recent Twitter swarm: “You start getting so much anxiety.”

With platforms like Twitter and Instagram sometimes slow to respond or prevent the abuse, other advocates in the climate community are also stepping in to aggressively report and call out accounts that are targeting the kids. To flag problematic profiles, they sometimes use hashtags like #CreepyDeniers, #ClimateBrawl, and #TeamMuskOx, named after the musk ox species that forms a circle around vulnerable members of its herd.

“The ugly truth is that these girls are subject to the deepest darkest evil side of social media on a daily basis,” Bethany Edwards, mom of 8-year-old climate activist Havana Chapman-Edwards, told BuzzFeed News in an email. Havana, who is black, has gotten racist messages, death threats, and was contacted by one man who the family later discovered was a registered sex offender.

Jeff Bezos says Amazon is writing its own facial recognition laws to pitch to lawmakers

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says his company is developing a set of laws to regulate facial recognition technology that it plans to share with federal lawmakers.

In February, the company, which has faced escalating scrutiny over its controversial facial recognition tech, called Amazon Rekognition, published guidelines it said it hoped lawmakers would consider enacting. Now Amazon is taking another step, Bezos told reporters in a surprise appearance following Amazon’s annual Alexa gadget event in Seattle on Wednesday.

“Our public policy team is actually working on facial recognition regulations; it makes a lot of sense to regulate that,” Bezos said in response to a reporter’s question.

The idea is that Amazon will write its own draft of what it thinks federal legislation should look like, and it will then pitch lawmakers to adopt as much of it as possible.

“It’s a perfect example of something that has really positive uses, so you don’t want to put the brakes on it,” Bezos added. “But, at the same time, there’s also potential for abuses of that kind of technology, so you do want regulations. It’s a classic dual-use kind of technology.”

He did not provide details on what’s in the proposed legislation.

See, my laws regarding facial recognition would be simple and straightforward:

No.

You cannot use facial recognition on public sources of images, including cameras, databases and the internet. No exceptions.

That's why Amazon wants to skip the middle man and write their own. Because one of their side businesses is selling facial recognition software to police forces.

... which probably isn't far from the truth . . .;)
