Israel's Supreme Court Says Yes To Internet Anonymity
jonklinger writes "The Israeli Supreme Court ruled this week that there is no civil procedure to reveal the identity of users behind an IP address, and that until such procedure shall be legislated, all internet postings, even tortious, may remain anonymous. The 69-page decision acknowledges the right to privacy and makes internet anonymity de facto a constitutional right in Israel. Justice Rivlin noted that revealing a person behind an IP address is 'an attempt to harness, prior to a legal proceeding, the justice system and a third party in order to conduct an inquiry which will lead to the revealing of a person committing a tort so that a civil suit could be filed against him.'"
It's amazing how you talk about "Israel" as if it's one living entity with emotions and prejudices. Do you think that all the Arabs in Israel and in the Knesset feel that way about non-Jews too? Can you point to laws on the books that show such "utter contempt"? Can you tell me why so many Jews were forced out of their homes in Gaza and their land taken and given to Arabs, if Israel hates non-Jews so much?
FYI: Pretending to site "history" doesn't make your racism and ignorance any less obvious.
Pray tell me where lies all this documented proof of Israel invoking all the wars through-out history (and I don't mean Zionism-controls-world conspiracies).
It is the universe that makes fun of us all.
Don't forget that here in the US, your anonymity is under constant attack, and paramilitary organizations have already demonstrated an absolute willingness to abuse their powers to snoop on your whereabouts and activities.
Maybe my political analysis toolset needs to move out of the 20th century....
Sometimes I feel like I need to move to another country. The problem is that there's nowhere left to go...
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
You know, i personally don't give a shit if both sides make each other glow in the dark and turn that shithole into glass, but what pisses me off is you, me, and every single taxpayer in the US gets a bill for 23 grand to prop up Israel and that DOES piss me off.
And the truly sad fucking part? all that money is being taken out of our pockets by right wing bible thumpers because they think that "Jebus won't come back! PRAISE JEBUS!". Well to all those I have one thing to say...fuck you. If your God is so damned weak he can't win without the US military then he is a giant pussy and undeserving of the name God, alright? He doesn't need your overfed bible thumping ass draining my pockets to prop up a country that wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire. If God wants Jews in Israel then they'll stay, if not? They'll go. Quit acting like Jesus is the fucking Groundhog that if he pops his head out the hole and don't see Jews he'll hide for another thousands years.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
