I am replacing Youtube with free, non #ad supported services, #legally
1. I'l use fediverse to get news in short bursts
2. then there's hoopla aka #hoopladigital to view #shows / #movies for free with no ads, legally.
#Hoopla is a free streaming app, but you need a library card, likely is free. Your local library will be paying hoopla monthly generally.
3. Lastly there's #peertube With Sepia search, I can watch a handfull of channels, that are like what may be on #youtube, no #ads legally.

#DavidBerkowitz seemed to enjoy the notoriety afforded by his #crimes. He tried to #profit from them, which led the #NewYork #legislature to pass the first of its kind so-called #sonofsam #law designed to prevent #criminals from #legally profiting from their crimes. Other states have enacted similar laws.

@paulknightly #Legally speaking re how these things can throw their weight around - it’s in the damn deeds. Now, you need a court to enforce it…and that’s where state action and at least an argument about an unconstitutional taking of property without compensation might be raised. Would love to have a sanity check on this from #realestate #lawyers with expertise in this area.
"#Workers in the #US have an estimated $50bn-plus #stolen from them every year, according to the #Economic #Policy #Institute, surpassing all #robberies, #burglaries and motor vehicle #thefts #combined. The majority of these stolen #wages are never recovered by workers.
Between 2017 to 2020, $3.24bn in stolen wages were recovered by the US Department of Labor, state labor departments and attorney generals, and through class- and collective-action litigation.
#Wage theft disproportionately affects lower-wage workers, women, people of color, and immigrant workers, and negatively affects local #economies and #tax #revenues.
There are numerous forms of wage theft, from #employers not #compensating workers for time #worked, #violating minimum #wage and #overtime #laws, misclassifying #employees as independent #contractors, not providing #legally required meal breaks, confiscating worker tips, or illegally taking #deductions from worker wages."

A new #bill under debate in #Peru ’s #congress seeks to #reevaluate the #existence of every #Indigenous reserve for #isolated peoples to determine whether to keep them or scrap them completely.
The bill would shift #DecisionMaking #power into the hands of #regional #governments and include #economic interests in the #evaluation process, which #HumanRights and #environmental #experts call #legally #flawed and a human rights #violation .

The united #Democratic Party and Mr Jeffries will make it difficult for the little man #Jordan to put on his show.
How Democrats can flip the script on the GOP’s ‘weaponization’
As #Jeffries selects members to serve on the #GOP’s new select subcommittee investigating the “#weaponization of the federal government,” he would be wise to bring in the #bigguns — the #sharpest, most #media-savvy and #legally #sophisticated members in his party.

The #flipper #zero may be new, but #hacking laws, specifically the #Computer #Fraud and #Abuse #Act, are not. Unless the person pictured has been paid by the gas company or an authorized vendor for the gas company this is just malicious and unfortunately casts a bad shadow on the rest of us.
If you want to do this stuff, do it #ethically, #responsibly and most importantly, #legally.

The #usa needs a federal Organisation of Working Time Act
I can't believe, well I can but I just don't understand how their #citizens don't want #legally mandated right to #annualleave #paidtimeoff #vacation time
They once had powerful #unions and even have a public holiday centred on workers rights aka #laborday
I don't understand how and why they don't lobby their #representatives in #Congress for #workers #employment rights
