Wisdom is not just knowing the right thing to do, it is doing the right thing. In order to receive God’s wisdom you and I must already be prepared to follow through with what God shows us.

Every internet fight is a speech fight

THIS WEEKEND (November 8-10), I'll be in TUCSON, AZ: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

My latest Locus Magazine column is "Hard (Sovereignty) Cases Make Bad (Internet) Law," an attempt to cut through the knots we tie ourselves in when speech and national sovereignty collide online:

https://locusmag.com/2024/11/cory-doctorow-hard-sovereignty-cases-make-bad-internet-law/

This happens all the time. Indeed, the precipitating incident for my writing this column was someone commenting on the short-lived Brazilian court order blocking Twitter, opining that this was purely a matter of national sovereignty, with no speech dimension.

This is just profoundly wrong. Of course any rules about blocking a communications medium will have a free-speech dimension – how could it not? And of course any dispute relating to globe-spanning medium will have a national sovereignty dimension.

How could it not?

So if every internet fight is a speech fight and a sovereignty fight, which side should we root for? Here's my proposal: we should root for human rights.

In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the US government was illegally wiretapping the whole world. They were able to do this because the world is dominated by US-based tech giants and they shipped all their data stateside for processing. These tech giants secretly colluded with the NSA to help them effect this illegal surveillance (the "Prism" program) – and then the NSA stabbed them in the back by running another program ("Upstream") where they spied on the tech giants without their knowledge.

After the Snowden revelations, countries around the world enacted "data localization" rules that required any company doing business within their borders to keep their residents' data on domestic servers. Obviously, this has a human rights dimension: keeping your people's data out of the hands of US spy agencies is an important way to defend their privacy rights. which are crucial to their speech rights (you can't speak freely if you're being spied on).

So when the EU, a largely democratic bloc, enacted data localization rules, they were harnessing national soveriegnty in service to human rights.

But the EU isn't the only place that enacted data-localization rules. Russia did the same thing. Once again, there's a strong national sovereignty case for doing this. Even in the 2010s, the US and Russia were hostile toward one another, and that hostility has only ramped up since. Russia didn't want its data stored on NSA-accessible servers for the same reason the USA wouldn't want all its' people's data stored in GRU-accessible servers.

But Russia has a significantly poorer human rights record than either the EU or the USA (note that none of these are paragons of respect for human rights). Russia's data-localization policy was motivated by a combination of legitimate national sovereignty concerns and the illegitimate desire to conduct domestic surveillance in order to identify and harass, jail, torture and murder dissidents.

When you put it this way, it's obvious that national sovereignty is important, but not as important as human rights, and when they come into conflict, we should side with human rights over sovereignty.

Some more examples: Thailand's lesse majeste rules prohibit criticism of their corrupt monarchy. Foreigners who help Thai people circumvent blocks on reportage of royal corruption are violating Thailand's national sovereignty, but they're upholding human rights:

https://www.vox.com/2020/1/24/21075149/king-thailand-maha-vajiralongkorn-facebook-video-tattoos

Saudi law prohibits criticism of the royal family; when foreigners help Saudi women's rights activists evade these prohibitions, we violate Saudi sovereignty, but uphold human rights:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55467414

In other words, "sovereignty, yes; but human rights even moreso."

Which brings me back to the precipitating incidents for the Locus column: the arrest of billionaire Telegram owner Pavel Durov in France, and the blocking of billionaire Elon Musk's Twitter in Brazil.

How do we make sense of these? Let's start with Durov. We still don't know exactly why the French government arrested him (legal systems descended from the Napoleonic Code are weird). But the arrest was at least partially motivated by a demand that Telegram conform with a French law requiring businesses to have a domestic agent to receive and act on takedown demands.

Not every takedown demand is good. When a lawyer for the Sackler family demanded that I take down criticism of his mass-murdering clients, that was illegitimate. But there is such a thing as a legitimate takedown: leaked financial information, child sex abuse material, nonconsensual pornography, true threats, etc, are all legitimate targets for takedown orders. Of course, it's not that simple. Even if we broadly agree that this stuff shouldn't be online, we don't necessarily agree whether something fits into one of these categories.

This is true even in categories with the brightest lines, like child sex abuse material:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/09/facebook-reinstates-napalm-girl-photo

And the other categories are far blurrier, like doxing:

https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-camp-worked-with-musks-x-to

But just because not every takedown is a just one, it doesn't follow that every takedown is unjust. The idea that companies should have domestic agents in the countries where they operate isn't necessarily oppressive. If people who sell hamburgers from a street-corner have to register a designated contact with a regulator, why not someone who operates a telecoms network with 900m global users?

Of course, requirements to have a domestic contact can also be used as a prelude to human rights abuses. Countries that insist on a domestic rep are also implicitly demanding that the company place one of its employees or agents within reach of its police-force.

Just as data localization can be a way to improve human rights (by keeping data out of the hands of another country's lawless spy agencies) or to erode them (by keeping data within reach of your own country's lawless spy agencies), so can a requirement for a local agent be a way to preserve the rule of law (by establishing a conduit for legitimate takedowns) or a way to subvert it (by giving the government hostages they can use as leverage against companies who stick up for their users' rights).

In the case of Durov and Telegram, these issues are especially muddy. Telegram bills itself as an encrypted messaging app, but that's only sort of true. Telegram does not encrypt its group-chats, and even the encryption in its person-to-person messaging facility is hard to use and of dubious quality.

This is relevant because France – among many other governments – has waged a decades-long war against encrypted messaging, which is a wholly illegitimate goal. There is no way to make an encrypted messaging tool that works against bad guys (identity thieves, stalkers, corporate and foreign spies) but not against good guys (cops with legitimate warrants). Any effort to weaken end-to-end encrypted messaging creates broad, significant danger for every user of the affected service, all over the world. What's more, bans on end-to-end encrypted messaging tools can't stand on their own – they also have to include blocks of much of the useful internet, mandatory spyware on computers and mobile devices, and even more app-store-like control over which software you can install:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/05/theyre-still-trying-to-ban-cryptography/

So when the French state seizes Durov's person and demands that he establish the (pretty reasonable) minimum national presence needed to coordinate takedown requests, it can seem like this is a case where national sovereignty and human rights are broadly in accord.

But when you consider that Durov operates a (nominally) encrypted messaging tool that bears some resemblance to the kinds of messaging tools the French state has been trying to sabotage for decades, and continues to rail against, the human rights picture gets rather dim.

That is only slightly mitigated by the fact that Telegram's encryption is suspect, difficult to use, and not applied to the vast majority of the communications it serves. So where do we net out on this? In the Locus column, I sum things up this way:

Telegram should have a mechanism to comply with lawful takedown orders; and

those orders should respect human rights and the rule of law; and

Telegram should not backdoor its encryption, even if

the sovereign French state orders it to do so.

Sovereignty, sure, but human rights even moreso.

What about Musk? As with Durov in France, the Brazilian government demanded that Musk appoint a Brazilian representative to handle official takedown requests. Despite a recent bout of democratic backsliding under the previous regime, Brazil's current government is broadly favorable to human rights. There's no indication that Brazil would use an in-country representative as a hostage, and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with requiring foreign firms doing business in your country to have domestic representatives.

Musk's response was typical: a lawless, arrogant attack on the judge who issued the blocking order, including thinly veiled incitements to violence.

The Brazilian state's response was multi-pronged. There was a national blocking order, and a threat to penalize Brazilians who used VPNs to circumvent the block. Both measures have obvious human rights implications. For one thing, the vast majority of Brazilians who use Twitter are engaged in the legitimate exercise of speech, and they were collateral damage in the dispute between Musk and Brazil.

More serious is the prohibition on VPNs, which represents a broad attack on privacy-enhancing technology with implications far beyond the Twitter matter. Worse still, a VPN ban can only be enforced with extremely invasive network surveillance and blocking orders to app stores and ISPs to restrict access to VPN tools. This is wholly disproportionate and illegitimate.

But that wasn't the only tactic the Brazilian state used. Brazilian corporate law is markedly different from US law, with fewer protections for limited liability for business owners. The Brazilian state claimed the right to fine Musk's other companies for Twitter's failure to comply with orders to nominate a domestic representative. Faced with fines against Spacex and Tesla, Musk caved.

In other words, Brazil had a legitimate national sovereignty interest in ordering Twitter to nominate a domestic agent, and they used a mix of somewhat illegitimate tactics (blocking orders), extremely illegitimate tactics (threats against VPN users) and totally legitimate tactics (fining Musk's other companies) to achieve these goals.

As I put it in the column:

Twitter should have a mechanism to comply with lawful takedown orders; and

those orders should respect human rights and the rule of law; and

banning Twitter is bad for the free speech rights of Twitter users in Brazil; and

banning VPNs is bad for all Brazilian internet users; and

it’s hard to see how a Twitter ban will be effective without bans on VPNs.

There's no such thing as an internet policy fight that isn't about national sovereignty and speech, and when the two collide, we should side with human rights over sovereignty. Sovereignty isn't a good unto itself – it's only a good to the extent that is used to promote human rights.

In other words: "Sovereignty, sure, but human rights even moreso."

It was supposed to be a simple rescue, a small group of Inhumans hiding down a sewer system to the north of New York. Except that wasn't what Skye found, it had been crawling with a new group of assholes calling themselves the Soveriegnty of Humanity.

Assholes however were packing serious heat, heat Skye hadn't been prepared for. She scuffles with a few of the sporting a busted lip and wound to her shoulder where one had got close enough to stab her before she could dtop them. She had to make it through, had to make sure there weren't Inhumans or other being kept prisoner here.

Stumbling into what seemed like the main chamber, Skye was disheartened to find nothing but more of them and a clearly dead body in a cage. Just as she was about to start bringing everything inside down as a bullet tore through her abdomen. She blasted those in front her throwing them back as an alarm to evacuate sounded, it seemed they realised who she was and she managed to stay standing long enough to make them think she was fine. She made it to the cage before stumbling to her knees, whoever this was had been dead a day or two.

Looking down at her abdomen, she was bleeding heavily, and a scream left her as she pressed down hard. There was no one on her side that would get here in time. Her only option was Lucan. Calling him and trying to force down and away the pain she was feeling, she managed a half hearted greeting when he finally answered.

"Hey, grumpy, I think I'm gonna have to call in that debt you say you owe." A pained breath escaped her as her head began to feel too heavy. Skye managed to get out he location before she passed out. The call still open, though there was no one around to tell him what her injuries were.

Considering the historical fantasy setting, is there still slavery in Tarken? And what is Nytheris' point of view on it, if so?

Hi Anon.

There is still slavery in many parts of Tarken, but Nytheris (and the Silver Empire by extension) has outlawed slavery. However, due to certain diplomatic treaties, they are required to return escaped slaves to their country of origin unless said slave has broken Nytherian law in which case they can enforce their soveriegnty to punish the crime that occured in their own boarders.

[thegospelofstjohn]

"The Seawright." From the Gospel of Saint John, 19: 17-18.

The Gospel of John is about "interlinearity". This includes the line drawn between God and man, man and himself, and the bottom up of society, the poorest of the poor with persons in a position of authority who can move things around and help them out.

We are under the incorrect impression there are scarce resources, too much demand and too little supply. Even if this were true, which it is not, we've long since figured out how to live here (!), one would not deign to copulate and populate and throw caution to the wind with the government or consumer spending and consumption.

The Gospels and their basis, the Torah state the problem is delusion, one caused by democracy. Democracies vary in quality based on the cultivation of their electorates. Democracy is not the answer if the people filling its offices are very strange or ill-mannered such as has been happening all around the world. God wants intergenerational governments to take over the planet. He has wanted this since He made the Covenant with Abraham and periodically with Abraham's ancestors including the Kings of Israel.

Constitutional monarchies employ the best of all the forms of government and include theocracy, and ensure the government does not change too fast, for the worst, or commit immoral acts. NOW we have not seen this work all of the time because the Windsors, AKA the Montbattens, who have been in charge of most of this planet since the 900s have almost always been a bunch of fucktards.

The British Empire and the Constitution of the United Kingdom give the Czar of Russia superlative power to care for and protect the planet provided the sovereign and his line of succession are not corrupt. The law states "his imperial majesty cannot be prosecuted for any crime in any jurisdiction", AKA "Royal Privilege" and there are only a few checks and balances on it. More than one person has lost their way and their nation in the wielding of their privies. UK.Gov says however, that the sovereign can be removed for misgovernment and lists a few exceptions to the use of privies. Parliament and the Supreme Court are Sovereign, in effect, far more than the King or Czar should disputes arise. There is no need for corruption or the misuse of privies in the execution of the Royal Office and it is in fact banned through separation of powers.

In late 2021, after I objected to the handling of 911 by the British government, Wiliam Mary came to my hotel room, raped me, then stabbed a needle into the side of my head and left me for dead. He was acting on the orders of the Crown. I survived, obviously. Then HM opened his first Parliament stating he'd given toddlers IV methamphetamine and was pretty darn proud of it. This is why we have Parliamentary Soveriegnty, to ensure the interests of the law, the Sovereign and the people do not somehow come into misalignment but as we have seen in America, it is not probably not enough.

John says the same, that the land, the people, and the interests of the Lord must be protected as a Rite, and adds the following to his Gospel saying the "soldiers take charge of Jesus" and take him to the Aramaic Place of the Skull, which is 723, ן‎ךג‎, הנטכאג, hanteche'ag, "to be pressed into the service of illumination and brightness."

He says on either side of this exalted position are two others, with Jesus "knowledge of the practices" in the middle.

The Crucifixion of Jesus

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

The Value in Gematria therefore emphasizs "carrying one's own cross down the middle." If one is to participate in the government or hold a position of power or live in a place where one supposedly exists, one is going to have to behave accordingly. This has always been of the essence of Holy Writ. All of you stop acting like you are ignorant and blind.

The Number is 11466, יאםוו‎ ‎, yamevu, from ya maha vu, "God's clap that wipes things, moves things, makes them yummy, from concept into action, from several seas into one sea, one hot spring of greatness in one day."

"The verb מחה (maha) means to wipe — of a mouth, a face, or decidedly more forceful: of a city like a dish. This verb perhaps even more forceful, or else a whole other yet identical verb, means to strike. Noun מחי (mehi) means stroke. Perhaps a third verb, or else still the same one yet spelled slightly different: the verb מחא (maha') means to clap, albeit as an expression of joy rather than anger, destruction or the desire to wipe things.

There's no real proof that the root ימם (ymm) ever existed, apart from the occurrence of one very common word that looks it was derived from it: the masculine noun ים (yam), meaning sea. This word is used for any sea or lake such as the Mediterranean (Numbers 34:6), the sea of Joppa (which is also the Mediterranean; Ezra 3:7) and the Salt Sea (Numbers 34:3) but also for any large body of water, such as the bronze sea of Solomon's temple (1 Kings 7:23). Our word in plural, ימים (yamim) denotes the general concept of seas or the whole of all the seas (Genesis 1:10).

In seventy of the almost four-hundred Biblical occurrences of this word, our word denotes a point of compass or direction, namely west (Numbers 2:18, Joshua 8:9, Exodus 27:12). It stands to reason that this interpretation of the noun ים (yam) originally meant "sea-ward". The word for east also means "past" and seems reasonable to assume that to the Hebrews the word ים (yam) had the connotation of "future" or "destination" or even "future knowledge". Please read our article on the noun ארץ ('eres), meaning land or earth, for a further look at this.

A second word that looks like it was derived from a root ימם (ymm) — and is therefore assumed to be related to ים (yam) — is the masculine noun ימם (yemim). It occurs only once, in Genesis 36:24, and what it means exactly is unknown. All we know is that the ימם (ymm) were found by Anah in the wilderness, and most translations choose for "hot springs".

Perhaps in order to express some deeper consistency but perhaps by accident, our word ים (yam) is the opposite of מי (may), which is the not-really existing singular of the very common plural word מים (mayim), meaning waters (which in turn is identical to the particle of inquiry מי (mi), meaning 'who?').

Also note the similarity between our word ים (yam), meaning sea, and יום ( yom), meaning day."

One strong deeply spiritually religious, politically scientific vision for the planet is what God wants to prevail at all times. John says one lookout, one visionary with one destination in mind will fulfill His Haftorah for this. We must have greater connection between all the points and continuity of policy and practice. The earth is headed for disaster because are acting like parasites instead of sires.

You are horses that do not want to drink.

There are food and water shortages all over the planet, hundreds of millions of homeless people, millions more the Christians want to add to the list, diseases are spreading, there is no child care, elder care, interest or investment in expanding the Academy, and this is on purpose. I have a different vision for this humanity, one shared by the Spirit of the Church.

The Gospel will continue.

The only English professor I had from Madison Wisconsin made us read Margaret atwood oryx and crake on indianism.....so I find Zara as a selected kind of scary as an oryx that way

Floridans do have the cable network compounds the selected disappear to to not ever have to live in the worlds of lower middle class functioning

I mean I kind of understand what the character is saying about calling bilkis bano a normative history or touchstone foundation stone of what women's history is

And then my birth father is randomly collapsed at a community house meeting and it's a house a lot of birthers would go to to do their lamaz so I may be as a child use to have many many aunties over

Its a little speculative considering most of life is normal......to believe that when my birth father was murdered...that there was then undisclosed murders of all these women that use to be

I find Zara chowdharys story about native Americans like Diane fossey...

These women and children called digit...

In my world the Muslim is mental soveriegnty

Dachau concentration camp tends to belittle these images of differentially shaped heads and figures as just objects of study and in my world Lauren is like an ideal Lakota figure for work

That's me about Freudian difference between indigenous and white chicks.....to truly be the flyer and the entertaining laborer and the huntress one has to have had ones hands extended into Picasso blue

I have these fantasies that I will eventually be more like my labor rights solidarity instead of corset photos and my mentality will no longer exist as disease

I think her book is just about helping audiences cope with gruesome imagery....see she has a way of teaching the crakers if their innocence is disturbed

Muslims in Wisconsin are a little people....so I have found out that I'm a bigger version of this that survives more weather and will shoo an invader away

Uhm so I would say bilkis bano is not a normative....or Zara chowdhary would not be a selected....

She also doesn't in it know the dates of Indian independence that happened prior the states civil war...she believes it wasn't independent till the 1950s....

And admits that the incident she relates was about eccentrics....

So now I just don't believe her about the whole bilkis bano incident....

And that's Narendra modi doesn't like fair observance....it disturbs covers up and removes the reality of Indian peoples into western stereotypes

And this whole reality of difference under Obama gone for zara

On Sovereignty

Sovereignty is the capacity to take responsibility. It is the ability to be present to the world and to respond to the world — rather than to be overwhelmed or merely reactive. Sovereignty is to be a conscious agent. As it turns out, sovereignty can be understood as consisting of three distinguishable capacities.
