My idea back in the day was that Jennifer Aniston's character, Grace, finds out what happened and God apologizes by giving her the powers this time. Entitled Amazing Grace.

Sorry King, I know you expect more from me than this.

The Tom Green show. Maybe it was always terrible and I was high enough then not to notice.

Name?

RIP Big Bear Jim

What was wrong with the fight? Just curious, I've never seen it.

Feds Ordered Google To Unmask Certain YouTube Users. Critics Say Its Terrifying.

In two court orders, the federal government told Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos and livestreams. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.

The government orders show an "unconstitutional" overreach by the government, multiple privacy experts said.

Federal investigators have ordered Google to provide information on all viewers of select YouTube videos, according to multiple court orders obtained by Forbes. Privacy experts from multiple civil rights groups told Forbes they think the orders are unconstitutional because they threaten to turn innocent YouTube viewers into criminal suspects.

In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker elonmuskwhm, who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting.

In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times.

The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos. The cops argued, There is reason to believe that these records would be relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, including by providing identification information about the perpetrators.

No one should fear a knock at the door from police simply because of what the YouTube algorithm serves up.

Albert Fox-Cahn, executive director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project The court granted the order and Google was told to keep the request secret until it was unsealed earlier this week, when it was obtained by Forbes. The court records do not show whether or not Google provided data in the case.

In another example, involving an investigation in New Hampshire, the Portsmouth Police received a threat from an unknown male that an explosive had been placed in a trashcan in a public area. The order says that after the police searched the area, they learned they were being watched over a YouTube live stream camera associated with a local business. Federal investigators believe similar events have happened across the U.S., where bomb threats were made and cops watched via YouTube.

They asked Google to provide a list of accounts that viewed and/or interacted with eight YouTube live streams and the associated identifying information during specific timeframes. That included a video posted by Boston and Maine Live, which has 130,000 subscribers. Mike McCormack, who set up the company behind the account, IP Time Lapse, said he knew about the order, adding that they related "to swatting incidents directed at the camera views at that time."

Again, its unclear whether Google provided the data.

"With all law enforcement demands, we have a rigorous process designed to protect the privacy and constitutional rights of our users while supporting the important work of law enforcement, said Google spokesperson Matt Bryant. We examine each demand for legal validity, consistent with developing case law, and we routinely push back against overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands for user data, including objecting to some demands entirely."

The Justice Department had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.

Privacy experts said the orders were unconstitutional because they threatened to undo protections in the 1st and 4th Amendments covering free speech and freedom from unreasonable searches. This is the latest chapter in a disturbing trend where we see government agencies increasingly transforming search warrants into digital dragnets. Its unconstitutional, its terrifying and its happening every day, said Albert Fox-Cahn, executive director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. No one should fear a knock at the door from police simply because of what the YouTube algorithm serves up. Im horrified that the courts are allowing this.

He said the orders were just as chilling as geofence warrants, where Google has been ordered to provide data on all users in the vicinity of a crime. Google announced an update in December that will make it technically impossible for the tech giant to provide information in response to geofence orders. Prior to that, a California court had ruled that a geofence warrant covering several densely-populated areas in Los Angeles was unconstitutional, leading to hopes the courts would stop police seeking the data.

What we watch online can reveal deeply sensitive information about usour politics, our passions, our religious beliefs, and much more, said John Davisson, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. It's fair to expect that law enforcement won't have access to that information without probable cause. This order turns that assumption on its head.

C'mon Rial, she's been involved in the gaming industry for a while now

nobody thinks 'my' in title was supposed to be 'me'?

Not at that time to elect a Dem speaker, but a rules change would potentially be needed to prevent a single rep from submitting a motion to vacate afterward. Though I suppose if all Republicans are present, or at least represent a majority present, if they were all in lockstep, there'd be nothing to stop another vacate motion from going forward.

Is MTG dumb enough to try the motion to vacate when there are some Republican absentees and a Democratic majority present for a vote? If that comes to pass, is there any parliamentary process for changing the rules mid-session to raise the vacate threshold?

Just imagine if they actually released the Morbin Time cut

I'm convinced the only reason Trump hired Habba is because she vaguely looks like his daughter.

did the mods change the "no handbra" rule?

She has pleasure with fake peniss attached to fake bodies, pretending its a real person

Is this the chick that fucks dudes? Like literally fucks back hardcore? Cuz that shits hot af ngl some next level shit right there
