When the law induces joy
The Citizen|November 25, 2024
Now that the Nigerian princes have given up on us, you're probably receiving threatening e-mails from the people who hack your laptop camera.

When the law induces joy

Don't lie. Even if you expected it to be a scam, there was a small part of you that felt compelled to transfer the bitcoin to the blackmailer to stop your squint-eyed close-up from going public.

While porn star was never an intended ambition for my future Wikipedia page, there's a part of me that gets disappointed whenever these e-mail threats never come to fruition.

Recently the government made it even more difficult to become an inadvertent porn star and, despite my flippancy, this is one of the most positive things to happen in law in recent memory.

Like electronics, the law is a complex set of smaller components that take an extensive amount of knowledge to properly understand.

To the layman, understanding how they work isn't really important. I mean, when you turn your phone on, you don't really know where all the ones and zeros are going, but you know it's working because you see it work.
