Suppose they did know beforehand, had the plans, but didn’t take any measures to mitigate the risk.
You don’t think that makes them appear incompetent or malicious? If they knew in advance but did nothing, that would be admitting to permitting the deaths of their own civilians. That’s not exactly good PR, like you suggest.
They will be fined and nothing will change. Bonus points if the final fine paid is lower than their $2.5 billion settlement offer.
What do you mean? We have our summer intern rewriting the entire Linux kernel in Rust with the help of ChatGPT. They are set to submit the PR by Friday night.

Sure, but “effectiveness” is usually not a binary and is often difficult to measure. Small, but persistent changes should still add up. Eventually.
So long as people recognize that these things are in fact quite toothless, I’m not sure they are entirely detrimental. There’s no reason this couldn’t be used as a starting point for more effective action, now that signatories are in greater contact with the campaign.
I don’t know.
I still think there’s at least some value, even if the only thing it accomplishes is getting people to talk about it. Many people have never even heard of The Internet Archive.
Either way, there isn’t really a reason not to.
Money.
Sure, but it is still better than doing nothing.
I expected a bit more competency from pew research, but it seems that this quiz misses the mark quite badly.
Yeah, because famously, tankies beheaded befriended fascists…
Not condoning authoritarianism or political violence, but this is ridiculous.
Anyone who claims to be “leftist” but aligns with fascists, is just a fascist.
OK, so replace his photo with any congressperson if you insist on being so pedantic.
The point is the absurdity of american government, which Biden as the president, is a symbol of.
When advantageous, most republicans would also claim that the US respects international law, then turn around and pass a vote like this.
EDIT: about a third of house dems supported the bill
No, it’s:

Unfortunately, the card mentioned in the article is far too slow to record high resolution, high bit-rate video from even older “pro” cameras.
Nah, mate. Killing random civilians isn’t the same as killing slave masters. Random people on the street aren’t the ones to blame. Needless blood is counterproductive and just fuels hatred. Being designated as a terrorist org means the slim possibility of receiving foreign assistance is reduced to zero.
You just build a network on top of the existing infrastructure. See tor, i2p, usenet
So you’re saying Israel should glass the entire strip? Ok, got it.
Because collective punishment is totally ok and definitely NOT a war crime.
They are certainly bigoted, but I think you are vastly underestimating the totality of the IDF’s mass surveillance of Palestinians.
