I've heard of it, but have only ever heard of that being used on people who are carrying straight cash, because only drug dealers do that I guess... /s
Like you said, for white collar crime or corporate , I've never heard of it being used.

Tbh, while in this case I think it's egregious because I don't think using a VPN should actually be a crime, I'd love to see that punishment system used in the US.
Imagine if instead of paying fines for illegal stuff and then continuing to ignore the laws, Facebook, X, and other rich people and corporations had to pay back all the income made from doing their illegal activity.
I only have the same issue with Mastadon that I do with Lemmy, I have no idea what instance to join. This one I'm apart of now for Lemmy I randomly joined when the admin said he'd accept reddit refugees who wanted to try out Lemmy.
If anyone has any suggestions for good instances to pick I'd give Mastadon a try. Otherwise, it's a nightmare for people like me (who's been compared to Chidi from The Good Place in terms of my overthinking and decision making).
Either she was just unconscious or they are lying. But it seems pointless for the latter since they'd find out eventually, unless they plan on blaming her death on one of the bombs that are being dropped in Gaza. I guess we'll see if the family gets her back.
Right?! I wouldn't have believed the other person either if it weren't for sources from pretty reputable news organizations. And it's interesting that basically the same mistakes were made with these two different groups (Israel and Hamas, the US and Al-Queda). I bet it's probably been done more in South America or Africa or something.
EDIT: But for others reading, no, it doesn't make Hamas (or Al-Queda) the good guys. It just means there are multiple bad guys all around. But you can't make me feel bad about being distraught from Hamas killing civilians. There were babies and other innocents in there who never did anything wrong to Palestinians, and rape is a war crime that I can never just look over.
Hm. They actually seem to be kinda right. According to this article and this one, which source Israeli government officials from the time, they helped them since the 80's and basically helped make Hamas a thing. They did it to make the Muslim Brotherhood -based organization which ended up being Hamas and the more secular PLO fight each other, to basically drive a wedge in the Palestinians.
What if they took your home? Or your father's home, your grandfather's? All your families and neighbors? Then put you in MA open area concentration camp, controlled your food, water, electricity and movement, started destroying your sacred places, etc. Natives killed people for that, too.
This is why this news makes me so depressed. It just reveals a bunch of atrocities and there's not much I can do about it. It's just depressing.
Read the room dude
Definitely saving this for later. Thanks!!!
The US does send something like billions in monetary and military aid over there which could be spent here so it does kind of affect us over here, but other than that, I agree.
Do you have a source for that? I haven't heard that.
