Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

ICE requires deportees be shackled for their full flight, as long as 24–50 hours; even 80 hours. Conditions are torturous and dangerous.

Omni is the only large-jet airline flying shackled passengers to Africa and Asia. Omni planes, without its name or logo, have flown thousands of ICE deportees.
NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights.
