The UK Labour Party has gone full planet-roaster, calling for harsh injunctions that would put climate defense protesters in prison.

*US Limits on ICC Complicate Biden's Aim to Aid Putin War Crimes Probe.*

The article describes some of the measures that the US adopted to render the International Criminal Court null and void, but doesn't mention that the US pressured other countries around the world not to sign up to it. The European Union was too strong to be pressured in this way, but most countries did as the US bid.

I agree that when the US recognizes a crime of war, it is likely to prosecute the perpetrator. The hard part is getting the US to recognize such a crime. For example, there seems to be little move to make Dubya pay for his war of aggression which was based on lies that have been exposed.

*Global Progressive Leaders Urge Biden to Drop US Charges Against Assange.*

To get its hands on Assange, the US government corrupted first Swedish justice, then British justice. It is clear that in both countries the end result was decided first and the rulings chosen to procure that result.

Bogus Johnson has been fined officially for having a party with people from different households when that was prohibited. That law was being enforced vigorously against everyone else, and arguably in a manner that was too strict. But he was totally behind that rule for everyone else, while covering up his own disobedience.

Many Britons now hate him for this, and demand his resignation.

The Federal Trade Commission ordered two companies to destroy all the data they illegally collected from children, plus all work product based on such data.

That represents a recognition that the product of collecting data can be morphed into various forms, including algorithms derived from deep learning, and allowing the culprits to retain any form whatsoever of that data would let them make a monkey out of any and all privacy laws.

On the front end, however, this shows how weak US privacy protection is. It protects only children, and that protection disappears when they get "consent". That is not enough.
