As a gun owner, I’m going to disagree here. While there are always extremist pushing for the strictest regulations, for the most part what most want is basic logical control.
People with history of violence or mental disorders shouldn’t have weapons. Period. Does anyone really need an AR-15 for “hunting”? No.
The tired old argument of the 2nd amendment keeping the citizens armed for a militia to stand against a corrupt government is laughably absurd. The local police are practically armed like the army now. And no ones fully automatic AR-15 is going to do jack shit against an Abrams tank or a F-35 or a predator drone.
Gun control makes sense in the same way seatbelts do, will it save everyone? No. Can it still do a lot of good? Very much so.
“other mail providers” should be decentralized smaller businesses / ISPs, not some megacorp. Then outages happen but they never affect millions at the same time.
IMO doing stuff like this is the job of the police and should be defined by law and not vigilante email providers with their ToS or privacy policy. In a capitalist economy, you gotta ask yourself: “why are email providers doing it?” Doing so costs money and doesn’t benefit them; so obviously there’s something they don’t tell you, that makes them money and that’s just not okay.
I’m not exactly a fan of MS, but other mail providers also sometimes have outages.
Also btw Yahoo just added something to their terms about AI scanning all mails for CSAM, which sounds creepy af.
Yeah. The extreme reactions on Lemmy to this single-day outage are ridiculous.
What is the up/down ratio of MS products? You have one hiccup and everyone loses their shit.
This could’ve literally happened to any provider and who knows how long it would’ve taken to fix it.
“were protecting the kids” - where rights go to die
Boy, don’t gun owners know it.

People with mental illness and a history of violence aren’t allowed to have weapons in my country. What undeveloped nation do you live in?
Ha! You really have to ask? The only nation where mass and school shootings are a regular occurrence.
Are you missing an /s? Because gun ownership in America hasn’t been meaningfully restricted for children’s safety in the slightest.
Irresponsible teachers without ar-15 or at least an uzi-9mm (those’ve been keeping israel safe from palestinian kids for decades).

Apple, Google, all of them are doing it, ‘protect the kids’ right? Or just target ads and those who dissent against the government.
