All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.
After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.
Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.
In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.
Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.
You’d have to go state by state, but here you go to get you started:
California:
https://elections.sbcounty.gov/faqs/not-connected-to-internet/
"No. According to California Elections Code section 19205, “no part of a voting system shall be connected to the internet at any time, or electronically receive or transmit election data through any exterior communications network.”
Colorado:
https://coloradonewsline.com/2024/10/15/colorado-voting-machines-not-connected-to-the-internet/
"Most counties in Colorado have upgraded their voting systems equipment since 2020 to models that physically cannot connect to the internet, and those that rely on older machines are statutorily required to disable any wireless capability.
Election officials say that even the older models do not create a vulnerability in the voting system, as some conservative politicians and activists claim."
Texas:
https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/conducting/security-update.shtml
“No voting system is ever connected to the internet at any point - either when votes are being cast or when they are being counted. (Sec. 129.054, Texas Election Code).”
Washington D.C.
https://dcboe.org/getmedia/0af1fe48-d63c-4ec5-8bcf-ca61f2c2de5e/Cyber-Security-detail.pdf
“It is important to note that DC’s voting machines are never connected to the internet; voting machines have tamper- resistant seals; and our machines are audited regularly while we continually update our equipment with the latest technologies and protections.”
You can do the other 47 states yourself, I’m not going to spoon feed you.
So what’s with Rockland County’s current case then? Doesn’t seem debunked to me at all, judge doesn’t think so either

And just so we are clear, you permaban every single user who says the 2024 election wasn’t fair?
Let’s look at each line and source pertaining to election fraud and machines being connected to the internet:
There’s more but um, okay, we can see that this point is well supported.
This is literally a link to a local news station announcing Starlink being installed on machines. Can’t be more straightforward or factual.

Hmm, and here’s another pbs article too btw: www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/voting-experts-warn-of-serious-threats-for-2024-from-election-equipment-software-breaches
Same guy in 2024 saying we never got all those machines offline from 2020.
Okay, we are here:
So far… Nothing has been unsubstantiated.

Ok, they are possible to be tampered with, check.
(13) https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/01/us-election-software-national-security-threats-00176615
Pretty clear.

Okay, so what exactly is wrong with what I said?
