Indeed, I posted this on another thread about the court

Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Smith Adams, September 11, 1804, "but the opinion [Marbury v Madison] which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the legislature & executive also in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch."

It's right on the courts' info page

Although the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court, it permits Congress to decide how to organize it. Congress first exercised this power in the Judiciary Act of 1789. This Act created a Supreme Court with six justices.

For .ca specifically: as long as you are a Canadian individual, or have a sufficient connection to Canada, or a Corp with a trademark registered in Canada then you are qualified to own that domain - but as to who is really checking I have no idea... CIRA complainants maybe?

Here's some info about .world domains https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6300841?hl=en#zippy=%2Cterms-restrictions

Isn't this doomed to fail in light of the SC's guidance in Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v Taamneh ??

Edit: "The platforms’ failure to remove such content, Justice Thomas wrote, was not enough to establish liability for aiding and abetting, which he said required plausible allegations that they 'gave such knowing and substantial assistance to ISIS that they culpably participated in the Reina attack.'” (copied from a NYT article)

What's the reasonableness standard? (to me that's just a standard of review in appeal courts)

Remember to leave a review on the official reddit app regarding it's porno abilities - if there's anything google/iOS app stores love more than anything it's an abundance of apps dedicated to viewing porn

Beats them speaking up about how they could afford property so why can't the younger generations

It absolutely is worse for users because we can only find the content via channels that spez approves of - removing the content just means you can find the content to be unavailable faster than if you had to scroll through the ads
