The world should wake up from tech dependence. Let the EU massively invest in FOSS.
Edit: as raised by comments, my title is not incorrect but does omit that it’s actually the US that imposed sanctions, to which MS just complies.

All courts are theaters, some are backed up with an army.
The president of the United States just proved that the supreme Court has no power by refusing to bring Kilmar Abrego home. The people saw this happen and didn’t immediately take to the streets demanding that Trump be punished, so we now know that he can do whatever he wants and the supreme Court can’t stop him. There’s no difference between this and the ICC, which is one of the ways that the United Nations prosecutes criminals. Both are theaters of Justice that only work if people participate.
The fact that America isn’t involved in the ICC really shouldn’t be seen as the ICC not being legitimate, but instead that the United States isn’t.
I think a lot of the non-reaction has to do with the lower court giving 15 “last” chances for the government to explain the order. She needed/needs to just call them in violation and start holding people in contempt. It probably won’t work, but without the final declaration from the courts of “they are ignoring us” people just keep trusting the system.
