True, and that is an issue, but I guess the main thing I'm getting at is that despite voter registration not being a unified system a majority of people moving between states aren't going to be deterred from registering by a Kafkaesque bureaucratic labyrinth.

I think for most people in the US when you move you have to get a new driver's license, and that process also lets you register to vote as an automatic bonus if you check a box saying you want it

That doesn't sound like something you get arrested for though

I'd be skeptical that's even real, outside of a select few countries with especially strict copyright enforcement

people being arrested for using pirate streaming services

What circumstances does that even happen in? Like a bar that plays a pirated sports stream?

I bet it was something like the hardware id instead but she misspoke

I think people saying that stuff are serious about advocating for political violence. I can't imagine how it wouldn't make things worse. Violence is a core element of fascist ideology, there's clear utility in using the attention it brings for recruiting, the trauma it inflicts for hazing, the experience for training. I remember when I saw a particular famous clip of a nazi speaking in public and being punched in the face by a masked assailant, I had never even heard his name before then, but after that clip was all over the internet that changed for a lot of people, and it definitely didn't get him to shut up. Maybe there's situations where people need to be defended, or there is need for someone acting as a bouncer, but I suspect in many cases it's some combination of useful idiots giving them what they want, or extremists on the other side who share their goals of agitating for armed revolution giving them what they want.

Nope definitely not why would I do that to myself

this will force us humans to go actually outside, make friends, form deep social relationship, and build lasting, resilient communities

There is no chance it goes that way, how is talking to people outside even an option for someone used to just being on the internet? Even if the content gets worse, the basic mechanisms to keep people scrolling still function, while the physical and social infrastructure necessary for in person community building is nonexistent.

So your claim is that states specifically don't have this authority, only the federal government? What's your reason for thinking this?

edit: Here's an example showing that they do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Wayfair%2C_Inc.

There's also laws like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Consumer_Privacy_Act

The businesses that the CCPA refers to do not need to be physically present in California. As long as the business is active in the state and meets the requirements, they are considered to be under the CCPA

A number of state based internet regulation laws have recently run into trouble in courts, but that's because of First Amendment concerns, not questions over whether merely being accessible to state residents gives jurisdiction to enforce them, which afaik it does.

The difference between what the laws are trying to enforce is a different issue though. The point is a website can be prosecuted just for being accessible when what it offers is against local laws.

Pretty sure it doesn't work that way. Look at what happened to Binance; not a US website, not technically allowing US customers, still successfully prosecuted by the US government for not doing enough to prevent people in the US from using it.
