Except when it can't make any calls because antenna firmware not having the right updates or some bs like that. This industry is a hot mess and I'm about to tap out.

Over many years the providers & industry have been allowed to manufacture the problem and they now get the opportunity to sell customers the solution with new handsets, all whilst harming competition, increasing profits and cutting costs by shutting down the 3G network.

Does this mean the articles will read less like a tabloid and more like news again?

Cars and trucks are linked with injuries and hospital visits [edit: and deaths] of pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters – but let's just blame the victim, shall we?

Photos presented as news should be real, not computer generated fakes.

For years the appeals process was dominated by the factor of Julian's mental health and whether or not he would survive US prison condition. Then after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal of the High Court ruling allowing flimsy US assurances, his application for a cross appeal of the ruling by the first instance court was finally allowed to be submitted - a document I highly recommend reading (Craig Murray published it this year). The judge then sat on it for the most part of a year before lazily rejecting it half a year ago in a 3 page document. His legal team immediately filed to have this decision appealed and have been waiting for a court date to be set for the past half year. It was said to be just a 30 minute sitting. This 2-judge panel court-date is the last avenue of appeal in the UK justice system to stop extradition to the US. Imagine being up in the air for year after year, always inching closer towards your biggest fear. This travesty must be stopped.

Will the High Court finally let freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, due process, and other essential human and legal rights take centre stage in this UK-US extradition case? That is the question to be decided at this February hearing.

While I'm glad this post did so well, I do apologies to anyone I may have offended by posting a barely 1yr old article in a news community. Please let me explain. My understanding is that news is information about current events. The letter written by the editors and publishers of: The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El País, which were WikiLeaks' media partners, attempts to protect investigative journalism as an institution, which is still threatened by the persecution of Julian Assange is a current event: in fact, now is a critical moment, with his last-gasp UK appeal in the extradition-fight set for 2 months from now. When an event happens in slow-motion, such as this slow-motion torture-to-death, we have to widen our field of vision to get a clear picture of what's going on. If you want more recent criticism of the case by prominent journalists, the US just had another Belmarsh Tribunal. I posted about it here: https://aussie.zone/post/5092162

Day X is here. The public hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice will be on 20-21 February. It may be the final chance for the UK to stop Julian’s extradition.

Watch Amy Goodman and The Intercept’s Ryan Grim co-chair the Belmarsh Tribunal on the case against imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange.

Inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War, the Belmarsh Tribunal brings together a range of expert witnesses — from constitutional lawyers to acclaimed journalists and human rights defenders — to present evidence of the assault on press freedom and the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The tribunal was organized by Progressive International and the Wau Holland Foundation.

Members of the tribunal included:

  • Ewen MacAskill, journalist and intelligence correspondent (formerly The Guardian)

  • John Kiriakou, former intelligence officer for the CIA

  • Sevim Dağdelen, member of the German Bundestag

  • Lina Attalah, co-founder and chief editor of Mada Masr

  • Abby Martin, journalist and host of The Empire Files

  • Michael Sontheimer, journalist and historian (formerly Der Spiegel)

  • Mark Feldstein, veteran investigative reporter and journalism historian at the University of Maryland

  • Maja Sever, president of European Federation of Journalists (EFJ)

  • Ben Wizner, lawyer and civil liberties advocate with the ACLU

  • Marjorie Cohn, professor of law at Thomas Jefferson School of Law and former president of the National Lawyers Guild

  • Trevor Timm, journalist and co-founder of Freedom of the Press Foundation

  • Ece Temelkuran, journalist and author

  • Rebecca Vincent, director of campaigns, Reporters Without Borders>>
