‘ This week, US District Judge Cormac Carney of the US District Court of the Central District of California decided that there's reason to believe that Visa knowingly processed payments that allowed MindGeek to monetize "a substantial amount of child porn." To decide, the court wants to know much more about Visa's involvement, calling for more evidence of legal harms caused during a jurisdictional discovery process extended through December 30, 2022.

"The court can comfortably infer that Visa intended to help MindGeek monetize child porn," Carney wrote, describing Visa's payment processor as a tool that potentially enabled criminal activity. In his order, Carney granted Visa's motion to dismiss claims that the company knowingly participated in child sex trafficking but denied its motion to dismiss claims that it conspired with MindGeek to benefit financially from a child sex-trafficking venture. ‘

Nuisance law suits that wouldn't go anywhere.

But I like what the judge is doing, I just hope it has legs.

I am that Masked Man.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

What if they paid cash? Sue the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing?
