Tax evasion on top of the other illegal activity can increase the consequences if you’re caught. They tend to require warrants before divulging information to other authorities, however any information gathered through legal means can be used against you.
The main benefit of reporting the income is to reduce the likelihood that somebody gets suspicious of the change in buying habits and starts in investigation in the first place.
For the longest time I didn’t understand why some quotes were in unwrapped text blocks that made it unnecessarily difficult to read on mobile; difficult enough that I just passed over posts and comments that featured it.
Now I know that the code block feature is being used, and I feel unreasonably annoyed that it’s being used for anything other than code blocks.
For the record, I’m using Connect.
There’s a couple. For one, they specifically promoted her on Twitter even though she’d been monetizing the work of other people without their knowledge or consent, and her use of their videos are practically never transformative enough to fall under fair use. It may have been a while ago, but a company with very aggressive copyright practices promoting a content thief doesn’t look great.
She escalated an issue she’s having on YouTube by allegedly engaging in offline harassment and doxxing his home address to millions of her followers on Instagram. YouTube is inextricably linked to this because her videos, and his videos criticizing them, are hosted by YouTube, and YouTube is earning ad revenue from all of that. She may have used Instagram to perform the alleged harassment, but people tend to follow online personalities on multiple social media sites, so there’s definitely audience crossover.
Her audience trends young, and she’s had at least one or two videos taken down for violating community guidelines involving bullying, iirc. At the moment, there are rumors that a video of her on Omegle doing blatantly illegal shit has been reported to the FBI, and that the video had been up on her YouTube channel for nine years, though the video has since been deleted.
He’s not calling for YouTube to act just on the offline harassment, but the full collection of provable bad behaviors on the site on top of the potential harm he and his family could face as a result of her present illegal actions and access to a platform with a lot of reach.
If they’re viable samples, it would be probably be possible as soon as it’s people can have their contemporary eggs and sperm used in a fully artificial gestation process.
I wasn’t talking at all about overpopulation because it wasn’t directly related to your comment about bullying. I don’t think we have an overpopulation problem so much as a resource distribution problem and lack of political will among those with power to actually change our systems into something less cruel to ourselves and the planet. We produce far more than we need to in our current system for the population we have, but our resource distribution system is directed by the whims of market forces and profit instead of community need.
Plus, I tend to automatically reject the assumption we’re overpopulated because bringing it up gives off an implication that it needs to be intentionally resolved, and that gets into really horrific territory really quickly.
On top of that, nobody even knows what the human carrying capacity of the planet even is; there’s zero scientific consensus on total human capacity or how to even measure it. It’s a non-starter for me, and I just do not think it’s an issue worth worrying about, but I am deeply concerned with how quick people are to blame everything on overpopulation as the cause of shortages when we haven’t really tried a different approach.
Edit: I fixed the last sentence to make sense.
How would anybody find out? The kid would only ever really need to know at a young age (where they might out themselves without Knowing the social risks) if they had ongoing medical needs from complications resulting from it. Plus, it’s an artificial womb, not cloning; the kid would still have two genetic parents who would be their actual legal guardians, unless life happened and the kid lost one or both of them, which would just mean the bullying would focus on that instead.
This sounds like it would mean charging Valve money for the privilege of using Valve’s own infrastructure every time a player installed a Unity game after a major PC upgrade/reinstall or after uninstalling that MMO they dumped every other game in their library try out.
Steam could probably bake a ban on software that uses installation trackers into their developer/publisher ToS, or ban the collection or transmission of Steam user data related to installations, or something similar.
The Innsmouth people may like it.
