X Banned the Account of a Major Critic. Now He’s Taking It to Court​

Software developer Travis Brown’s X account was banned after his research alleged far-right influencers were becoming more prominent on the platform. He’s taking X to court in a bid to reverse the decision.

He says his account was restored in September, after a court order. But later that same month, Twitter informed Brown that his account would be banned again, with X justifying its decision to the court in a 36-page letter.

This travis brown faggot is such a pozzed retard, but at least he's wasting europoors time and money. Point is, apparently in at least eurocuck zones, it's possible to get reinstated on xitter with a court order.

Embrace the Greer, Null... The darkness calls to you... Why do you not heed its beckoning?

This isn't really newsworthy. On any delivery driver app, orders with tips are always accepted first before $0 tip orders. Anyone with sense will choose the higher-paying order because more money is always better and anyone who tells you they would do otherwise is a liar.

It was only after seeing this that I realized that he wasn't even trying to be fair because he was showing the shredded cheese section in a Walmart. Of course most of the shredded cheese is gonna be cheddar, what was he thinking? Now if you go to a store that actually has a deli, you might be able to find a good selection of cheese.

I don't know if my hometown was rural or not, but I grew up with a Walmart and a Piggly Wiggly. We were poor, no getting around that, so if Walmart had anything like harvarti in the deli case, we could never afford it. Pepper jack, Colby jack, cheddar, mozz for pizza. That was it. Until I moved to the west coast I didn't even know Gouda could be sold by the slice. Tillamook farms out here has really changed my cheese horizons for the better. I think hometown Walmart may have had a goat cheese but there was no fucking way my mother would have bought that.

The less said about the bread, the better.

"Just drive to get better food!"
1. No cause we were poor and 2. the 5 vehicles we had could barely make it make it to Walmart and back on good days. They sure as shit were not going to make it 45 mins 2 times a day.

It pretty much is, plus this grocery store isn't a high end one, It's just a regular grocery store. But Just looking at the picture makes me want to buy the Muenster cheese. I might buy it later and give a review lol

The monthlong trial of Sam Bankman-Fried wrapped up on Thursday, leaving the jury to decide the fate of the FTX founder.
Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to criminal fraud charges tied to the collapse late late year of crypto exchange FTX and sister hedge fund Alameda Research.
The prosecution’s key witnesses were former members of Bankman-Fried’s inner circle.
Jury finds Sam Bankman-Fried guilty on all seven counts in fraud trial

Jury finds Sam Bankman-Fried guilty on all seven counts in fraud trial
A jury has found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him. The FTX founder faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison.

Bankman-Fried, the 31-year old son of two Stanford legal scholars and graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud against FTX customers and against Alameda Research lenders, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit commodities fraud against FTX investors, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

He had pleaded not guilty to the charges, which were all tied to the collapse late last year of FTX and sister hedge fund Alameda.

“Sam Bankman-Fried perpetrated one of the biggest financial frauds in American history,” Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a briefing after the verdicts were read. “While the cryptocurrency industry might be new and the players like Sam Bankman-Fried might be new, this kind of corruption is as old as time. This case has always been about lying, cheating, and stealing, and we have no patience for it.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement, “Sam Bankman-Fried thought that he was above the law. Today’s verdict proves he was wrong.”

“This case should send a clear message to anyone who tries to hide their crimes behind a shiny new thing they claim no one else is smart enough to understand: the Justice Department will hold you accountable.”

The trial, which began in early October, pitted the testimony of Bankman-Fried’s former close friends and top lieutenants against the sworn statements of their former boss and ex-roommate. The jury returned a swift verdict after receiving the case at around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday and breaking for dinner at around 6 p.m.

At 7:37 p.m., the attorneys began to rush back into the courtroom, and the clerk said “the jury has reached a verdict.” A minute later, the jury was back in the room.

Bankman-Fried’s parents were visibly nervous entering the courtroom. They sat in the second pew, and took turns putting their arms around each other. When the defendant, wearing a purple tie and a black suit, returned to the table with his attorneys, he leaned back in his chair. He didn’t flinch and stared straight ahead.

From the top floor of the lower Manhattan courthouse, Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the trial, instructed Bankman-fried to stand and face the jury box as the verdicts were read. The only two people standing were the forewoman and the defendant.

By 7:47 p.m., all counts had been read. Bankman-Fried remained stoic. He didn’t cry.

Immediately after the guilty verdicts, Bankman-Fried’s attorney, Mark Cohen, asked jurors to be polled. They went juror by juror, and each was asked if their verdict was read properly. Each said yes.

Judge Kaplan thanked the jurors for their service, and they were escorted out.

Kaplan then asked about the second trial Bankman-Fried is facing on March 11. The government has until Feb. 1 to to let the court know if it plans to still proceed. The sentencing date is March 28 at 9:30 a.m.

At around 8:02 p.m., Bankman-Fried began to walk to a side room. His parents were standing at the front of the center aisle, waiting for their son.

Following the verdict, Cohen said in a statement that Bankman-Fried “maintains his innocence and will continue to vigorously fight the charges against him.”

Friends turned on him
The monthlong trial was highlighted by testimony from the government’s key witnesses, including Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend and the former head of Alameda, and FTX co-founder Gary Wang, who was Bankman-Fried’s childhood friend from math camp. Both pleaded guilty in December to multiple charges and cooperated as witnesses for the prosecution.

Most of the defense’s case was built on the testimony of Bankman-Fried himself, who told the court that he didn’t commit fraud or steal customer money, but just made some business mistakes.

The central question for jurors to consider was whether Bankman-Fried acted with criminal intent in taking customer funds from FTX and using that money to pay for real estate, venture investments, corporate sponsorships, political donations and to cover losses at Alameda after crypto prices plunged last year.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos told the court in his closing argument on Wednesday, there was “no serious dispute” that $10 billion in customer money that was sitting in FTX’s crypto exchange went missing. The issue, he said, is whether Bankman-Fried knew that taking the money was wrong.

“The defendant schemed and lied to get money, which he spent,” Roos said.

Bankman-Fried now awaits sentencing. His case has been compared to that of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of medical device company Theranos, which ceased operations in 2018.

Holmes, 39, was convicted in early 2022 on four counts of defrauding investors in Theranos after testifying in her own defense. She was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison, and began serving her punishment in May at a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas.

Hector Martin got in a slapfight where he is the one being accused of harassing others. Post 1, post 2

In short, the guy who runs OSNews, Thom Holwerda, published something about Asahi Linux that Hector didn't like. He posts a long toot, then afterwards, Thom deletes every article he made about Asahi Linux and starts accusing the Asahi people of harassing him.

Hector Martin says "negative feedback ... is not the same thing as harassment":

Some Asahi-adjacent tard actually made an account on Thom's instance to further "harass" him:

Hector Martin denies all wrongdoing. Actually, he's the one being harassed here, sweaty.
