The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.

Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.

You're making assumptions.

Now try it in a text based browser. Or a security hardened browser.

404media always has this problem. We need to start banning people who link to them

Is Vanadium not considered hardened? I'm also doing some DNS filtering. No issues.

Still working with JavaScript disabled. Edit: I also tried Tor, FireFox, and even Servo. All working.

Strange. Only the first couple paragraphs load for me. You're sure the full article is loading for you?

We need to start banning people who use intentionally hobbled browsers and then complain that other people should be banned for sharing sites that they've broken.
