Staying an order pending judicial review isn’t uncommon, particularly if it’s on matters far beyond the influence of that court.

That said, it’s not like this admin cares what any court says anyhow. The scotus could say in plain as day language ‘no you for sure can not do that’ and it’d get brushed off as irrelevant somehow.

In the network formerly known as freenet, forgetting the current name, traffic to and from the node, and the data at rest is all encrypted, only referenced by keys so nobody has a real influence on what they store or transmit. Plus, they only know the peer that made a request, not a source or a destination, so just ‘pass this key back to me if you have it, otherwise ask the next person’, so routing is just as opaque.

In cases like that there’s not much to be done, as it well should be because as soon as control can be performed it’ll be demanded or liability placed on those who don’t comply.

Bah, minor inconveniences, fix it next cycle.

Dick tater in chief needs a reminder.

Ok, so badly phrased, yes companies will do geo fencing principally for security threat containment. If a company has no means to serve customers in a region they may also block access to avoid people making orders that can’t be fulfilled.

Denying service that they functionally can perform because of the whims of politicians and politically minded actors is a foolish behavior though. Every place on earth has some wing of society that would prefer isolationist and ultra conservative practices, to self censor to the lowest common denominator is going to only push away those users who aren’t zealots.

GeoIP fencing is an eternal whack-a-mole, I’ve had to track down issues where a site owned by MS was blocked because they bought some public IP space previously owned by countries the client blocks.

In the end you have countries trying to get a piece of the pie from a company that they have no ties to but being unwilling to upset the people living there by taking an effort to block it. If they think the company is behaving incorrectly then it’s on them to deny access to their citizens that they have to answer to.

A company can’t reasonably decide which jurisdictions and IPs it should serve at any given time. If I don’t want a site in my house I don’t petition them to block my IP.

By that token, I could start my own private Island nation, make some batty rules, log into a site, and demand a bajillion dollars because my laws say so.

Internet doesn’t work that way, access is not presence of operations.

Lower courts have dismissed Davis’ claims and most legal experts consider her bid a long shot

If only I had any faith that the scotus gave a damn about precedent and law at this point. My bet, they take this on the ‘shadow docket’, rule for her, and refuse to explain why.

Basically a test to see if he can get away with calling for martial law.

It would help the scam if you didn’t"t try to pose as a Mastodon bot to a Lemmy user.

Indeed, politicians do love to claim power and control wherever they can and kids are a handy excuse often enough.

As to the parents, at least in the USA my take is that so many are overwhelmed with how to handle it that if you get someone in power saying “we will make the internet safe for you, no effort needed” they jump all over it.

I’m in my 40’s and none of the things out there on the web that kids are doing even existed when I was their age, so there are plenty of people who are really the first generation to be sorting out how to deal with this stuff for our kids. Given my work I’m better equiped than most, but it’s still possible to get caught off guard

We have proxies, we have DNS filters, we have pre configured software packages you can install with a few clicks. Net filtering is not all that difficult.

We also have a planet full of people throwing up their hands and passing off responsibility for guiding and watching their kids to ‘someone else’.

It takes effort people, and discussions that can be difficult, and you might need to learn a tech trick or two, but it’s not impossible. Stop screwing everyone over because you want big brother to take care of the hard work for you.

The planet can, maybe the next species of critters to pick up a pointy stick can make use of it after it resets itself.

Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

You’ll never guess who they are!

Donnie soon; ‘computers are for nerds, I don’t use em, we where a lot better off without all this cyber nonsense, and their Intel is wrong, Tulsi is wrong here, should have gone with AMD, sound a lot like and, and this and that, brings things together…’

It doesn’t look like a list to me, but a riddle.

Would putting a Q: and A: in front of them satisfy you or would that send you off on a different tangent of chastising web users on their formatting?

Maybe instead of people needing to apply exacting rules to accommodate an accessibility tech, the tech should get better at interpreting human tendencies of writing. Even today I can write in a non-structured natural language form and a decent chat bot can typically make a reasonable interpretation of it without help.

In some ways the kid’s poem about an old lady who swallowed a fly/spider/bird/etc is a good image of our attempts at controlling invasive species. Eventually, nature will figure it out without our help.

I’m not shocked but highly dismayed that they manage to be a positive number at all.

Shh, you’ll spoil the surprise…
