Navigation through gps means you're connected to a satelite at all times. has nothing to do with an internet connection. You're directly connected to the U.S. government (Space Force)

you can't really build a perfect system, the goal would be to limit bad actors as much as possible.

Autopilot doesnt turn on the turn signal or change lanes, what you are dealing with is humans.

I would advice them to get ready for what comes next, past experience says it will not be good.

since Anthropic is one of the only companies using the Bun Runtime, not just the bundler like most do, they want to make sure the runtime stays the focus. This is good for both companies and us tbh since they wont switch focus to whats popular at the moment

So that case was not brought forth the supreme court for them to rule on? They rule on that specific case.

They didn't draw the line there, that's case that was brought forth. That's how the courts work.

I've given you the most direct example anyone can give, a journalist that was legally handed a prison sentence for basic speech. There are more cases in other EU countries in the article, just read.

It would help to read the article we're discussing.

> Journalist posted a fake image online of the interior minister holding a sign that read “I hate freedom of opinion” and was subsequently handed a seven-month suspended prison sentence. A woman who posted images of politicians with painted-on Hitler mustaches and called a minister a terrorist was fined about $690.

Could you give examples of when a U.S. citizens speech rights were legally taken away? Lets go with one of your examples of "When sexual minorities want to speak". Please elaborate.

None of the examples you gave are actually examples of speech being restricted. Its people (sometimes politicians) freely voicing their opinions on others speech, that is not restriction.
