Voting with your wallet isn't a violation of free speech. Dictating where your money is spent isn't censorship.
And as Citizens United established, money is speech.

Government makes last minute change to National Curriculum with addition of classes in ‘Holding up bits of Classroom’
In court cases, ideally you save the crystallization of your argument for summing up, because if you reveal it too early on you give the opposing side the opportunity to rebut it.
I like to hope that's Starmer's strategy. If he says anything too exciting too far for an election, it gives the Tories an angle, and time to spin nonsense against him. But you can't punch fog.
Ahem. I believe you are referring to this request, made by the ADL to the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs, that the Minister take action to shut down the hosting of a website
mapping and publishing addresses of Jewish individuals and institutions [in Boston] and calling for these individuals and institutions to be “dismantled” and “disrupted”
which had recently migrated to a hosting service based in Iceland. Its anonymous "anti-Zionist" creators state that they
have shown physical addresses, named officers and leaders, and mapped connections. These entities exist in the physical world and can be disrupted in the physical world. We hope people will use our map to help figure out how to push back effectively.
So I'm not really sure what you mean in terms of "precedent". Telling people that anti-Semitic material being hosted on servers inside a country is being hosted on servers inside a country is not a false accusation of anything.
Yes exactly. It isn't in the public domain, and so is still protected by copyright, and arguably fails the test for Fair Use. But OP's earlier comment suggested they were not aware that federal works sit in the public domain.
Wish they finished the game because it was pretty fun.
Were we playing the same game?? When I played it in 2013 it was a tedious, RSI-inducing cow-clicker with lootboxes and "premium" gems, and according to Steam I played for less than an hour before abandoning it.
Federal government works generally aren't domestically copyrightable. They are considered to be in the public domain within the USA.
ETA: I will add that that USA has some of the best protections for Fair Use. But Fair Use definitely doesn't extend to selling it at that scale.
These are the tests for Fair Use:
- the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; [very commercial]
- the nature of the copyrighted work; [photographic, publicly available]
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and [100% of it]
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. [Effectively eliminated the value to the copyright holder]
It's a weird coalition. Piers Corbyn has been protesting against ULEZ (naturally).
The maternal instinct is something that no-one questions
Plenty of women question it.
I won't miss seeing those cannisters littered around.
nobody want to live in Venice because of tourists
No problem.
