This is weaseling out of the thrust of the entire discussion and you know it.

Dude, I understand the logic behind Gitmo, we have all had 20 years to figure it out. That’s not the point. You said we are in line with a International laws, but we bend and break them at will constantly, because the US can essentially shrug and go “what are you gonna do about it?” We do it all the time. We are seen as one notch better than a schoolyard bully by many countries. Gitmo is grey area at best partially because we would never let another country do that to our citizens.
We don’t live in that world anymore.
Schools got by fine without the Internet until probably the mid-2000s. They got by fine without computers until probably the 90s. You can make that argument about literally anything in a school right now. We live in a society built around smart phones and tablets. We can’t just pretend we don’t.
Still important to call them out in public so their ridiculous opinions don’t spread
If this community/instance bothers you so much there’s nothing stopping you from blocking it and subscribing to another one.
Dude if you seriously think Gitmo is actually ok you’re way too precious and narrow in your interpretation with laws. You’re detaching them from reality. Pretending “spirit of the law” has no place.
Our values are supposed to inform our laws. Not the other way around. Gitmo is an abomination and I guarantee you the US would never stand for Russia or China having the equivalent.
My understanding was that it was sent back but not struck down saying that it just didn’t fall under anti-terrorism laws, but I guess I was mistaken!
It’s incredibly unsafe when you live in a society built around smartphones/tablets for health and safety tools to remove said smartphones.
A faraday cage is a fun thought exercise but wholly impractical. A lot of emergency systems - such as amber alerts - rely on their connectivity. A lot of schools also give out laptops/tablets.
What is written and what is done makes a Venn diagram, not a circle. The US is widely known to enforce all issues anywhere within in its own borders for a reason.
Gitmo sure isn’t in line with international law.
This is the best, most succinct, and fair assessment I’ve seen of Starfield since launch.
It's 2023. Whether we want them or not they're here. They in the workplace, they're in our classrooms, they're at home, they're everywhere. Any attempt to truly prohibit smart devices is not as simple as it sounds and presents other challenges in the modern era.
Prohibition culture does not work for most things. If we want kids to stop using phones in class, we can take a more nuanced approach with taking it away as a blunt measure to occasionally deploy.
