Judge Wilkinson, a Reagan appointee, says the Trump administration's position on Abrego Garcia amounts to a "path of perfect lawlessness." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Exactly! One aspect of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump's driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He takes glee from others' suffering. Shutdowns, cuts, El Salvador deportations, markets tanking - it's fun for him.

When I asked about genocide in Myanmar, FB said it unfortunately couldn't read Burmese text but that it was working on it ... but "we still don't know if it's really going to work." It had been in Myanmar for seven years and had already been accused of helping to facilitate a genocide
One of the people I interviewed while at Facebook headquarters was Guy Rosen, who was then Facebook’s head of product and is now its chief information security officer. I interviewed Rosen about how it could be possible that Facebook had failed so terribly at content moderation in Myanmar that it was being credibly accused of helping to facilitate the genocide of the Rohingya people. What Rosen told me shocked me at the time, and is something that I think about often when I write about Facebook. Rosen said that Facebook’s content moderation AI wasn’t able to parse the Burmese language because it wasn’t a part of Unicode, the international standard for text encoding. Besides having very few content moderators who knew Burmese (and no one in Myanmar), Facebook had no idea what people were posting in Burmese, and no way to understand it: “We still don’t know if it’s really going to work out, due to the language challenges,” Rosen told me. This was in 2018; Facebook had been operating in Myanmar for seven years and had at that time already been accused of helping to facilitate this human rights catastrophe.
