im from the bad post police, and i'm afraid i have bad news

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/11/frenchman-given-suspended-sentence-for-naming-his-wi-fi-network-daesh-21 posted:

An 18-year-old man from Dijon was convicted for "praising terrorism" and was given a suspended sentence of three months in prison because the SSID of his Wi-Fi network was "Daesh 21."

"The authorities went to the street to evaluate the signal, made numerous inquiries, in vain, with Samsung, and then to the operator, etc., to eventually be able to identify this young man," she told Next Inpact.

Sounds like it would be a fun hobby to break your neighbors weak wifi encryption and set up a secondary naughty SSID, tons of routers support that nowadays and almost no one would ever have any idea it was their own network

i read the article and i guess i just think it's weird that somebody could make it to 18 without ever being given a name

i have a hard time feeling pity for somebody dumb enough to put "ISIS" in the transaction notes.

it's a reasonable thing to suspect. i'd want an account suspended if it had something like "bombs" there too.

i mean sure if you have a genuine reasonable suspicion then yeah do what's needful, but at the same time i would think it'd be a relatively quick matter to figure out if they're actually funding terrorism or w/e

idk why not, here in oregon strip joints are legal b/c the state supreme court ruled that stripping is literally a form of expression and as such is protected under the state constitution

dancing is 100% expression of free speech. communication between two parties using a financial system when both parties have agreed to a multi page legal agreement is way way way different

the example of the strip clubs is also flawed because in that case it was the government trying to shut down the strip clubs whereas in this case it's just paypal saying "lol gently caress you we don't wanna deal with this bullshit even if it's a false positive"
