1, I'm really glad I've mostly avoided "smart" devices 2, I've asked this before, but why aren't we prosecuting these fuckers? If my dog attacks someone I am liable: they should be liable for any damage little Claudes do. As well as mass copyright infringement, environmental harms, etc.

If a teenager hacked a Government web site from their bedroom, the Police would kick their door in at 6.00 am and haul them off to the station. But AI does it, and everyone just shrugs? The Tech Bros then say we need *more* AI, to defend against the bad AI. We need to draw a line in the sand now.

It's really hard to say "The richest man in the world is constantly calling for a race war as he almost singularly sponsors the Republican Party and millions will die because of his brief tenure in government, where he likely looted private data from all Americans." But we're getting closer.

It seems unclear how they plan on carrying this out, but a pretty straightforward block is for television networks to refuse to stream the footage, and for YouTube to stick to its terms of service. Star pressuring networks not to carry this barbaric content.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

All this time, while Defendants have refused to identify Does 4 and 5 or respond to Leo’s discovery requests, the six-month statute of limitations on his FTCA claims has nearly expired. So, on October 6, Leo sought Defendants’ consent to file an amended complaint that (1) adds his FTCA claims against the United States and (2) adds the names of Does 1, 2, and 3. These minimal changes are shown in a redline attached to this filing.
Defendants, however, refused to consent to Leo’s amendments because there is not a protective order in place. One of Defendants’ positions with respect to the protective order is that the “full legal names” of all government employees “should be confidential.” (ECF 109, at 2). That position, apparently, means that Defendants even oppose Leo identifying specific officers in his lawsuit against those very officers based on their misconduct in carrying out their public duties. Because Defendants will not consent to Leo’s amendments, Leo has filed this motion for leave.

Justice also requires granting Leo leave to name the Doe officers as defendants. Despite DHS’s remarkable position that all government employees’ names are confidential, parties routinely sue government employees by name. In fact, Rule 10(a) “requires a complaint to ‘include the names of all the parties.’” Doe v. Frank, 951 F.2d 320, 322 (11th Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a)). “Lawsuits are public events.” Id. Rule 10(a) “protects the public’s legitimate interest in knowing all of the facts involved, including the identity of the parties.” Id. Only in an “exceptional case” can a party’s name be withheld from the public. Id. And that bar is even higher for public employees since their employment “diminishes their privacy interests” given “the corresponding public interest in knowing how public employees are performing their jobs.” Stern v. FBI, 737 F.2d 84, 92 (D.C. Cir. 1984);
