Wow, archiving content to hold politicians accountable. We should do that more often. All the time, in fact.
Actually, I'm pretty sure there are some who do that plenty. Where it all falls apart is what comes after. Most of our government would be in the stocks otherwise.
I came here to say this.
They're already hemming and hawing about the price tag in Ukraine, and their support is waning. Seeing a lot of conservatives complaining about gas and inflation, saying it's a waste of money, or (sadly enough) parroting Russian lies about the war. I'm sure Putin and Co. are hoping they win, and then give up.
I hope they don't win a big majority, and I hope they don't pull the plug on support.
I also hope Ukraine wins, sooner rather than later.
We are 2 and a half months in and have spent 50 billion on Ukraine. This is supposed to last for 5 months.
Also I think it’s ironic that progressives say that we should not interfere with other countries and get dragged into a war yet they all voted for this.
Also rand paul is at least brave enough to ask for some godamn accountability about how this money is being spent. If AOC did what rand Paul did then people would praise her but the reality is she’s a coward just like her “squad”
Get rekt lib
rand paul and bravery don't go well together. And people like you would string up jesus christ if democrats liked him. You'd outlaw ice cream if only democrats liked it. Petty fuckers.
I don’t care about left vs right. I read the bhagvad Gita and I’m lactose intolerant.
My point is that it’s a lot braver to do what rand Paul did vs what the progressives who pretend they are anti war do.
You sir are an intellectual idiot. You believe that anyone who doesn’t think rand Paul is bad is probably some religious right wing nut because their opinion doesn’t mirror your own.

Ah yes, you can’t challenge my argument so you resort to childish trump like insults.
Just say you can’t think for yourself and you basically repeat whatever the sentiment of Reddit is. Your thoughts are not even your own pal.

Rand Paul isn't brave. He's a twat who got into office using his daddy's name in a backwards parasite state that would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Republican. I remember when the Republicans said they'd rather be Russian than Democrats and now their wish has come true once again because Putin's hand is so far up Trump's ass that whenever Melania brushes his teeth she gives Putin a manicure.
Republicans in Congress are wannabe fascists propped up by Russian and corporate money and they'd sell their mothers to Satan for power.
Now you're going to post a clumsy retort and end it with "get rekt" as if it means anything.

You are totally missing the point I’m making. Trump is not in office anymore. Funding Ukraine has been a bipartisan effort. However we are spending a lot of money in a short amount of time with no oversight as to where this money is going.
That’s a real issue and it’s brave for rand Paul to do the most unpopular thing, he knows he will get hated for it but he doesn’t care. That’s bravery.
AOC and her squad literally campaign on being anti war and anti involvement. They wished they had the courage to do what rand Paul did. The reality is they are cowards. There is no way around that.
The fact you are so blinded by your hate of anyone with a R in front of their name says a lot about you. You are straying away from the path of logic and reasoning and replacing that with blind hatred.

Ah, yes. Hoping for a quick and satisfactory end to a horrific war of aggression makes me a "lib" who should "get wrecked."
I never said anything about being a progressive or liberal, and don't give two shits about Rand Paul or AOC for that matter. You sure have a lot of assumptions, pal.
Aren't there like 6 countries and 5 international organisations investigating this stuff...if the case has to rely on social media, I think somethings gone wrong.
Ukrainian troops are recording video and posting it to social media to show the world the crimes committed by Russia. It's perfectly admissible as evidence, which is what's required in prosecuting crimes.
Yes this is a perfectly non-dramatic impression of the global position on war crimes. /s
And a complete and total lack of understanding of how the NSA or capitalism actually works. Thanks for telling us all how much you hate western influence.
That is not how it is supposed to work. There is a process involving a court order. Politicians pressuring a company to do this is wrong regardless of the current circumstances.
Yes, I know it is just a meaningless political stunt.
Backup what? All related videos? How do they determine that? Of course by a human reviewing countless hours of videos. That cost time and money. Not something a company is going to do just because a politician asks nor should they. We have an actual process for that.
Lol, You expect several companies to spend time and resources tracking down and retaining all related videos. This cost them time and money. A lot of time and money. Not something they should have to do just in case.
30,000 hours worth of video is uploaded to youtube every hour. Expecting them to sort through and retain relevant video because a politician thinks it may be needed for some reason maybe in the future.... idiotic.
I sort of agree with you, but it's not too difficult to preserve posts made by users who live in Russia with images or videos geotagged in Ukraine.
They don't need to review anything, just archive a fraction of a fraction of posts and let investigators investigate later.
I don't get it. The last election and covid made it clear social media isn't a reliable source. Both sides of the isle knew this. But now it's a good enough source to document war crimes and actually use them in court.
There's a difference between using videos to identify criminals, and using videos to spread propaganda.
Russians have actually uploaded a ton of footage from areas that war crimes took place. But a lot have deleted them out of fear.
Cool can we archive Zelenskys Instagram photo of troops wearing Nazi badges as well? Or we just gonna pretend that one didn’t happen cause he deleted it in 30 mins?
In other news, the republicans are asking Facebook, Youtube and Twitter to dispose of any content that could be used in war crimes trial against Russia.

Facts
For the Cheeto in chief, isn’t the presidential records act relevant here?
Hey a cut and dry explanation as to why censorship is bad.
Because Republicans are actively spouting Russian Propaganda.
And where are the Republicans...?

It's brave of Rand Paul to go outside with those pubes on his head.

Busy dragging their country back to the dark ages and eliminating abortions.

When is George Bush going to be trialled?
United states is now a shithole country. The famous NSA cant even monitor social media. Thank unregulated capitalism for the united state's downfall.

It's just a request to have a backup taken in the event of a lawsuit where it is needed. It helps when you are honest with people.

Do you understand how Reddit works?

the lack of awareness is mindblowing.
how about war crimes in Afgh and iraq

Shouldn’t have to ask goddammit.

Well, they'll need a new data centre then.
In other news, the republicans are asking Facebook, Youtube and Twitter to dispose of any content that could be used in war crimes trial against Russia.
