The 6-3 decision in a case from #Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by #Trump’s #Republican admin & #state govts to roll back #protections for transgender people. 26 other #states have laws similar to the one in TN.

Wow! I gotta say that I wasn’t expecting this.
It seems to me that #BGRs #ChrisSmith isn’t concerned about #copyright. At least that’s what I think when I read his #article on how he bypasses #website #protections to #feed #AI models. He didn’t even bother to mention anything about #ContentWarning #laws #privacy or #decency. But he did give lessons

This doesn’t seem cool at all. #NotCool. I feel sketch even including this link 🫤

Wow. The EU would have fined that organization out of existence, and kept on fining the smoking crater if the org were caught doing something like that here. I'm so glad I live in the EU.
