Anyway, your entire point is invalid if it's defending the decision to label it a terrorist group.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_communism
It's the gayer version of anarchism, where they pretend it makes any sense. Hint. look at the red and black star on Riseup front page.
Should we crack down on phones and communicators specifically designed for criminals? These tools are specifically designed for them, and whatever you say, Antifa's way of "protesting" is illegal.
I don't care what your political believes are, but attacking critical infra like power grids is straight up terrorism.
You don't seem to understand what they stand for. In fact, for A/I you have to agree with their policy which includes specifically agreeing with the importance of genuine democracy.
Just like Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is Democratic.
If someone tells me they are a communist, and then that they suddenly support democracy too, I know what they are up to.
Denaturing DNA doesn't change it, it just prevents it from being usefully used. High concentrations of bleach primarily denature proteins that are necessary for compacting chromatin. The DNA itself is not particularly damaged and the sequence isn't changed, but the cell will die anyway due to losing the chromatin structure.
It seems you don't know the history of "People's Republic" or "Democratic People's Republic". These are not related to democracy even if they share the words. Meanwhile A/I specifically defines democracy.
No? Even if whoever made them intended them for criminals, they're useful for non-criminals too.
What if these tools specifically only allow criminals in? Autistici didn't operate like Riseup, they had application system where you had to justify being a part of their service.
It's not a matter of getting an invite from a random source. You had to be vetted.
At this point you may start justifying access to other sites specifically made for degenerates, utilizing applications registration system.
Then no.
I was let in. Am I a criminal?
You were lucky, and a minority in their userbase consisting of radicals. But who knows what you wrote them
I am a radical in a sense because I believe strongly in privacy services, but I'm not a violent one. They do not allow (or try not to allow) anyone who is not anti-violence and anti-military. The vetting process was basically to make sure I'm not using it for hateful, bigoted, or commercial activity. It was quite simple. I did not have to pledge my allegiance to anyone or any horrible ideology. I only had to show that I'm anti-capitalist, anti-military, anti-fascist (not "Antifa" but simply against fascism and authoritarianism), anti-bigotry, etc. Pretty typical left-wing stuff. I'm sure even you agree with most of their points.
You overestimate how intense their "vetting process" is. If you signed up and said something like "I'm a pro-privacy activist and want to help educate people online about good privacy practices" they'd let you in.
If the majority of their userbase are actually violent (as opposed to just being radically pro-privacy), I'd love to see a source for that.
Would you consider attacks on critical infrastructure to be an act of violence? For example blowing up the power grid and cutting access of about 45k houses from access to heat, during winter.
Anyone who did that blatantly violated A/I's policy and manifesto. If you knew of anyone who did that and coordinated using A/I, you could report it to them and they would be kicked out.
Hard to believe they were never informed about it, and feds had to step in. Because its specifically mentioned in the state.gov article. And I remember seeing it back when it happened, they actually did it twice months apart and announced in the same place.
They don't read user's emails. If there's a court order to remove someone's account or reliable reports that an account is breaking their policies, they will remove the users. Just because some bad eggs got in does not mean they are in on it.
It's probably easy for bad actors to sign up and, if they get kicked out, to come back with a proxy and pretend to be someone else. A/I would have no way to know. Same thing happens with Proton Mail too btw.
I don't speak German, but if it's a call to violence, please report it to A/I. The blogs are not written by A/I.
Furthermore, the existence of a violent blog does not support your position that only a minority of users are non-violent. All it shows (if it is genuinely a call to violence) is that someone bad got in.
Autistici isn't only a mail service, as I mentioned they run noblogs.org too which is home to countless terrorism cells. Such as this one https://switchoff.noblogs.org/
Activity of most sites is public, and you can get an idea what they host
https://noblogs.org/activity/
Well, looking at their public feeds, most of the stuff I see is bad and extremist. As soon as you open the public feed you can see doxes and calls to action
Doesn't look like a terrorist cell to me. The worst I see is them admitting that they sprayed paint on some facility that builds weapons for the military. The rest is news about other protests and some random environmentalism stuff.
Regardless, admitting to crimes is not a crime. It's free speech. And the only "dox" I see is discussions of people who are already public. That's not doxxing. But again, if you see anything against their policies, feel free to report the blogs involved.
Are there people with extremist views there? Sure, but all A/I does is defend the right to speak and advocate for even "extreme" ideas. Much like many other privacy-related services. Their difference is what they disallow, not what they allow. But referring to even the most radical environmentalist hosting a blog as a "terrorist cell" is extreme hyperbole.
I've seen worse on Facebook anyway.
Again, where do we draw the line? Is attacking critical infrastructure like power grids, cutting off residential houses and hospitals from power and heat during winter, bad enough?
You have no issues with people doing damage to railways, cars, buildings, etc. but I wonder where do you think they should stop at?
You can use this argument on anything
A terorist org having a site makes them less of an issue? Why isn't it legal to host ISIS websites then.
Of course I do, but a criminal hosting a blog is not the same as the crimes that made the person a criminal in the first place. Even criminals deserve to be able to speak their opinion.
It is legal to host an ISIS website if the website does not contain prohibited speech like threats, recruitment material, etc. If ISIS decided to open a simple blog where they documented their activities and opinions without calls to blow people up, such a blog would be completely legal.
In random state, retrotransposons may exist.
I'm not trying to explain or prove the pathogenesis of long-covid or the illness itself. FYI, long-covid/covid pathology is very diverse and may dependent on the subject physiology. So, trying to prove the endogeneity is nonsensical, because it's dependent on prior states, not a single bit flip.
If I may be so be presumptuous to say, it's like doing cryptanalysis on a single round of block cipher.
Further, assume a library is a poorly implemented crypto. Would you use the library as is?
The papers you linked actually showed that, even for the virus itself, they don't function. Regardless, neither paper talks about the vaccine. The way transposable elements work is very complex. You can't just do it with any RNA or DNA.
We do know that:
However I'll agree that, when the vaccine rolled out first, we weren't entirely sure. However, we did know that it would not have any serious effects worse than COVID itself has (the main risk of a non-replicative transposable element is being inserted in the middle of an exon, but that can actually happen even with our endogenous transposons!).
People often fear far-out-there risks. The actual risks for a hastily-tested vaccine are never sci-fi issues like DNA changing, but more complex issues such as antibody-enhanced fusion, formation of augmented superantigens, or affinity maturation-based autoimmune responses. All of those would result in the illness getting worse or causing a severe reaction.
Sorry. I still insist on, as the mRNA to cDNA pathway is known and it assumed a proper subset can't do what other proper subset had.
Sigh, only if I can ask Laplace's demon or akashic record...
It's only possible in certain circumstances, and it's proven to not happen with either COVID19 itself nor the mRNA vaccine. Insistence does not overturn established discoveries.
You missed another one. Impaired immune response because of [forgotten] causing mild response similar to allergy, due to repeated exposure
Oh there are plenty of other issues, especially when it comes to Treg as you're probably implying. That's why vaccines need such heavy and in-depth testing. The COVID pandemic was unique because we had to rush, and the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the potential risks (such as adverse reactions in a portion of the population).
Immunology is very complicated and it's very easy to misunderstand or to make assumptions that are false. For example, mRNA vaccines tend to have fewer side effects than, say, attenuated pathogen vaccines. Yet many people who fear "the COVID jab" will happily take their flu shot (which is also safe, don't get me wrong).
I beg your pardon
It's not loading for me. What's the DOI? I can check on Sci-Hub.
Here §4.1 (iii)
You realize the LINE-1-based reverse transcription they were citing as a possible vector for integration is exactly what your previous link tested at a later date and found no evidence of? This is precisely why science literacy is so important.
This is how science works. One suggests "this might be possible but we haven't tested it" and another answers "well let's test it! Nope, turns out not possible". You can't cherry pick.
Wow this thread is no longer about the email provider but now about COVID vaccines. Need a mod to change title
Sorry, got kind of carried away there.
