the amendment passed, no? so it already survived quite a bit of discussions

... yet hundreds of other TLDs manage to do rollover without an incident of this magnitude.

I completely agree that the tooling is questionable, and that the protocol is meh, but in this case the monitoring noticed the problem yet humans did not notice (or get) the alert.

I assume police already stores dossiers on reported crimes.

Initially it's a report. Place, time, allegation, supporting evidence.

The question is how much (automated) detection ought to be allowed, what's the retention period, and so on.

Flock is a bad trade-off, but that doesn't mean there's no point in collecting data. If every datum is a semi-tangible report, then the sensitivity/specificity has quite a good change of being high (especially compared to dragnet surveillance with post-hoc data fishing).

Germany also got so high on Putin's gas that it turned off nuclear power plants. So yes, it's not trivial to deploy, but it makes sense to do so, especially on the long term, no?

structuring is illegal for tax evasion too!

obviously if someone is a repeat offender then as they cross the threshold, chop-chop, straight to jail, charge them with the whole batch of crimes together.

it doesn't mean keep no records of crimes and don't respond at all.

and still. limited resources means some crimes will go unpunished.

you misinterpret my comment.

i am using that as support for my claim that this extralegal proscription of access to financial services would likely also not survive the courts.

my position on this is simple. if the state claims there's something illegal then they should charge him/them, if not then pressuring private parties to stop exercising their freedom of assembly and association obviously goes against the spirit of civil rights and the rule of law.

(and I know the problem is convoluted, hard and obviously a realpolitik minefield, but ... again, obviously whatever the last 20 years of elected governments were/are doing did not solve the problems.)

as I was reading your comment I was thinking about what the bug is, and my initial guess (pulled out of thin ass-air) was that even on mobile somehow the touch targets overlap and there's no way to actually send the click to "policy"

interesting observation!

on mobile it works (where I would expect the hamburger menu), and on usual desktop I have the usual menu bar, but when I change the window size on desktop I get the hamburger menu (and then the UX jankiness is evident, but for me easy to work around, as moving the mouse down closes the "research" block and then it's quite simple to move it up to be able to click "policy")

at this point I think Opus does something better by default
