Fwd: NYPD has a serious press freedom problem
by fuzzyTew 01 Jul '23

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Freedom of the Press Foundation <newsletter(a)freedom.press> Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2023 18:15:29 +0000 Subject: NYPD has a serious press freedom problem To: fuzzytew(a)gmail.com DOJ: Dispersing journalists from protests violates First Amendment View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/freedom.press/nypd-has-a-serious-press-freedom-problem-j…) Dear friend of press freedom, Here are some of the most important stories we’re following from the U.S. and around the world. If you enjoy reading this newsletter, please forward it to friends and family. If someone has forwarded you this newsletter, please subscribe here (https://freedom.press/subscribe/) . Credit: Rhododendrites, via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0. NYPD officers respond to a protest. Last month’s arrest of veteran photojournalist Stephanie Keith (https://pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/photojournalist-arrested-at-ca…) at a vigil for Jordan Neely was just the latest in a series of egregious press freedom violations by the New York Police Department. Other notable examples include officers showing up at a journalist’s home to arrest him for larceny after beating him with a baton (they falsely claimed he tried to steal the baton while trying to protect himself), and officers assaulting a journalist and stealing his bicycle after seeing him put a notepad in his backpack. Officials’ efforts to blame the abuses on the chaos of 2020 are no longer credible as they persist three years later. A coalition of press rights organizations has demanded (https://cpj.org/2023/06/cpj-partners-call-for-charges-against-new-york-jour…) that prosecutors drop the charges against Keith. But the damage is already done — Keith wasn’t able to do her job at the vigil, and her arrest sent an ominous message to other journalists about the consequences of reporting on cops in New York. Read more on our blog (https://freedom.press/news/the-nypd-has-a-serious-press-freedom-problem/) . ** DOJ: Dispersing journalists from protests violates First Amendment ------------------------------------------------------------ As recently as 2020, Department of Justice lawyers argued that police orders to disperse crowds of protesters apply to journalists covering those protests, regardless of whether the journalists pose any threat.An appellate court rightly rejected (https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/cases/index-newspapers-v-cit…) the DOJ’s arguments then, and a recent investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department reveals that the department has finally changed its position: “The First Amendment requires that any restrictions on when, where, and how reporters gather information ‘leave open ample alternative channels’ for gathering the news. Blanket enforcement of dispersal orders and curfews against press violates this principle because they foreclose the press from reporting about what happens after the dispersal or curfew is issued, including how police enforce those orders.” (Emphasis added) As we wrote on our blog (https://freedom.press/news/doj-dispersing-journalists-from-protests-violate…) , it’s certainly a step in the right direction, but for now it’s only on paper. Let’s hope it leads to the end of arrests and prosecutions of journalists covering protests for doing their jobs. ** Protecting journalists, whistleblowers, and activists from SLAPPs ------------------------------------------------------------ This week, we wrote about a recent victory for Greenpeace (https://freedom.press/news/journalists-whistleblowers-and-activists-must-be…) — and free expression — over a strategic lawsuit against public participation, or SLAPP, that the environmental group faced because of its activism. A SLAPP is a lawsuit brought to chill the exercise of First Amendment rights, often to silence and punish the plaintiff’s critics, including local news outlets (https://padailypost.com/2023/01/11/ex-candidate-loses-suit-against-local-ne…) and individual journalists (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-04-18/journalist-seeks-dismis…) . In many cases, powerful individuals or corporations know their critics are protected by the First Amendment but sue anyway, hoping to drain their bank accounts through legal costs. Thankfully, in most states (https://www.rcfp.org/anti-slapp-legal-guide/) , targets of SLAPPs can fight back by using anti-SLAPP laws. However, there’s still no federal anti-SLAPP law, leaving reporters exposed to SLAPPs in federal courts. That could change if Congress acts. For too long, we’ve allowed the comfortable to abuse the law to afflict the press. It’s time for Congress to pass a federal anti-SLAPP law (https://raskin.house.gov/_cache/files/f/b/fbb6b8d1-fa69-4c17-adbb-6445ff63b…) so that the press can instead be truly free to afflict the comfortable. ** What we’re reading ------------------------------------------------------------ A resounding reaffirmation of Times v. Sullivan (https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-resounding-reaffirmation-of-times-v-sullivan…) . This week the Supreme Court reaffirmed the continued viability of New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 case prohibiting politicians from suing journalists and others over unintentional errors. The court explained that Sullivan is “based on fear of ‘self-censorship’ — the worry that … the uncertainties and expense of litigation will deter speakers from making even truthful statements. The First Amendment … ‘requires that we protect some falsehood in order to protect speech that matters.’” It’s a welcome development following recent attacks on Sullivan by politicians (https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2023/02/15/gov-desantis-hides-behind-littl…) and judges (https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/politics/clarence-thomas-first-amendment-lib… eme-court/index.html) alike. Time is running out for Julian Assange. If MPs do not act, how can they say they value free speech? (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/27/julian-assange-extrad…) We’ve repeatedly condemned (https://freedom.press/news/trump-administrations-new-charges-against-wikile…) the unconstitutional Espionage Act charges faced by Julian Assange for the “crime” of obtaining and publishing classified documents, just like other investigative reporters do routinely. Not only could the U.K.’s members of Parliament be doing far more to stop Assange’s extradition to the U.S. but the Biden administration could end this threat to journalism in an instant by dropping the case (https://freedom.press/news/fpf-statement-on-rejection-of-julian-assanges-ex…) . Judge agrees to narrow but not lift gag order in University of Idaho student slayings case (https://apnews.com/article/kohberger-gag-order-idaho-killings-first-amendme…) . Almost six months after the fact, a judge narrowed a clearly unconstitutional gag order in a notorious criminal case about the killings of four college students. As we wrote when it was issued (https://freedom.press/news/unconstitutional-gag-order-creates-mass-confusio…) , this order created widespread confusion and wreaked havoc on the free press trying to cover the trial. While the judge’s more recent order is good news, it’s seriously problematic that the press and public were deprived of their rights for so long. Courts must expedite these matters. Top NIH official advised COVID scientists that he uses personal email to evade FOIA (https://theintercept.com/2023/06/29/covid-nih-personal-email-foia/) . We’ll say it again louder for the public officials in the back: Using personal email for government business is not a “get out of jail free” card when it comes to FOIA. And it’s deplorable when public officials treat public records laws as something to avoid and evade, rather than an important protection for the public’s right to know. Shame on this National Institutes of Health official for trying to use personal email as a workaround to FOIA requests — and on every other public official doing the same thing, even if they’re sneaky enough not to write about it in an email. https://twitter.com/freedomofpress https://www.facebook.com/FreedomOfThePressFoundation/ https://freedom.press/ ============================================================ Copyright © 2023 Freedom of the Press Foundation, All rights reserved.

1984 SpyVeillance Censorship Paywall: Twitter Shuts Down Freedom Browsing, Tracks Login Required For All Access

Twitter kills all external access, destroys all public linksharing, requires phone and email and payment for accounts, tracks, databases forever, and sells your entire clickstream search queries likes subscribes payments uploads etc to all the other devil entities. Not even Elon's page is visible. Twitter is now a private club cabal, and you ain't in it. This will likely not go down well with US Politicians who all use Twitter to publish their stuff to the public. Reddit is in talks to get bought or go public, will thus be shutdown in the same way. News: Opensource Distributed P2P poststream services gain massive bump in users due to Twitter's shutdown tracking and pay, now offering free account, open posting, self-publishing, uncensorable, compatible with overlay networks, even using crypto for content tipping.

Final step is to eliminate dissent by fining via CBDC all non approved narratives under the umbrella of "hate or misinformation" i.e. anything we don't like (remember the $2500 paypal fines in their T&Cs?, elon's old company). You will get fined and shamed into compliance. Tldr : Its becoming obvious this was all planned from the day Jack stepped down at twitter. Just more control. They have already removed the search and hashtags functions for anons (must be logged in now). Elon said he wants it to be "an everything app" so they probably intend to find a way to link all your social media together (not unlike Jack's project the last 2 years) Remind me 12 months. moreless CNN recently interviewed the grandson of 84 y/o Andrew Lester, the man who shot the teen attempting to enter his home.

successful legal arguments against large-scale abuse
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

i thought the argument of "intentional infliction of emotional distress" was of interest. some of us have been guilty of this when engaging in trolling, shock memeing, spamming, targeted/personal/misinformation, psychotic expressions, etc. raising a legal point can help curb these habits. i just have some written notes on this, the talk was by a linda demaine yesterday, i didn't get most of it. conveniently she iterated what is needed for each legal argument to have normal success, but i didn't get all of that down. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress - when behavior stimulates significant emotional harm, those harmed must be compensated - most success when the behavior is clearly very unacceptable or abnormal - most success when the behavior repeats such as in stalking Fraud - perpetrator gave misinformation - complainant acted on this misinformation resulting in loss or harm - has been more successful when the court in question has an understanding of coercive persuasion Undue Influence - mostly used in wills and trusts, this is roughly unfair manipulation of another's choices - in a different talk it was mentioned this has started to find success in other cases in california Unjust Enrichment - behavior benefited the perpetrator - the complainant did not receive compensation for this benefit False Imprisonment - complainant had no reasonable means of leaving an area - complainant was aware they were confined or harmed while without means of leaving - usually this has been applied to areas as big as a room or so, people are trying to build use of this for much larger regions Human Trafficking - force, fraud, or coercion via threat of serious harm - used to stimulate sex or forced labor, including forced volunteering RICO racketeer influenced something or other - missed this one, maybe i'm scared of organized crime
