You know a lot of information, I'll give you that.

Then why the fuck are you there?

It means you become valid military targets for retaliatory strikes from countries the US picks wars with.

Now do capitalism!

What're the chances this becomes a template and we see him and other prominent figures targeted again now?

Those pictures are private and should not be easily viewable by other people or automated mechanisms acting as judge, jury, and executioner while simultaneously using those same pictures as training data for their plagiarism machine. That is not how a sensible society would act.

I completely agree, but the reality is that digital pictures uploaded to the cloud ARE often easily visible by other people or automated mechanisms acting as judge, jury, and executioner while simultaneously using those same pictures as training data for their plagiarism machine. The ONLY way to stop that is to not put pictures online (even to your "private" accounts), especially if they are naked pictures of your kids.

to be clear you are currently on the side defending big tech cloud providers banning your account and reporting you to the police for pictures you take of your kids (or patients if you are a doctor, or yourself if you are a minor). even if that is not a position you hold, that is where you've placed yourself.

Not at all. To delete accounts over innocuous pictures is obviously a gross overreach, but the reality of the situation is that this shit IS the way our current systems work and the ONLY way to not fall victim is to not take pictures of your kids naked.

He's not necessarily wrong there.

He added, “The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy.”

The fact that any one scandal of either of Trump's terms didn't take him down is exceedingly more crazy.

TLDR: "Melania" is the name of a cow named after the First Lady cause it's patriotic. No one's showing up while Trump claims the crowds are huge.
