How about: No arms deals with any entity that indiscriminately murders innocent people, women, and children?
Veraxus
This kind of thing is the reason I've started moving completely away from Microsoft platforms, including Windows. Microsoft is getting more and more invasive and aggressive pushing advertising onto people in their own private spaces, and that is unacceptable.
Since I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, I don't use XBox... and after this, I won't. Ever. This was just MS dipping their toes in to see if they could get away with it.
Thankfully, with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now with very little elbow grease. No Microsoft necessary.
Actual CSAM, depicting an actual crime against an actual child... or "someone drew dirty cartoons and I'm a moron who thinks dirty drawings are the same as one of the most heinous crimes imaginable - harming a vulnerable child"?
It's just shorthand for "unauthorized access to a digital system". There could be no password at all and it would still count as "hacking". The difficulty of gaining access isn't really relevant, legally speaking.
That’s an easy one.
It means “disassemble all checks and balances, strip the people of all power and authority, and concentrate the power and authority into the hands of a chosen party-aligned dictator or oligarchy.”
Small government doesn’t get any smaller than a totalitarian dictatorship.
Not everything should be a contract. Make the benchmark for contracts to be much higher, such as requiring two notary public or lawyer signatures for it to be binding. Casual contracts in "terms of service" should not only not be binding, but illegal with stiff penalties for trying to sneak in such terms.
Well... yeah.
So… evil.
“That’s not a shit, it’s a doodie!”
Well, yeah. It's same the lie that publishers use to justify the use of unethical, anti-consumer, customer-punishing DRM.
Make some bad business decisions? Make a bad game? Sales not meeting projections? Need a scapegoat so the investors don't rebel? You just need to blame something other than your own incompetence. It's the same thing conservatives do.

What a crazy, unexpected gem. Without spoiling anything, it’s a hand-animated interactive narrative game with strong Stanley Parable influences.
This is a really weird take. One group behaves in a brazenly illegal, unlawful, openly criminal and unethical manner… but it’s ethical, law-abiding folks who are the problem for behaving ethically and following the law?
This is North Carolina; How "stunned" were they, really?
