     @Sherri_Ingrey The US and the UK hav a bilateral extradition relationship from the 2003 extradition treaty.
     Whether or not a US citizen is extradited depends on the temperment of the current administration. If Harris wanted to make it easy, she could make it easy.

     @AnungIkwe @Sherri_Ingrey at least the US government can't compel Twitter to reveal identifying information about tweeters to extradite them.

     @AnungIkwe I am confused. I thought extradition was too hard and expensive, that 's what they say when naturalized peeps commit criminal acts?

     @AnungIkwe There's a part of me that thinks that trying to do something like that would activate Americans in a way that no one really wants (except maybe Russia and China) and another part of me that thinks the DNC could bank on Americans being too complacent to stand up to this, and it being an opportunity to jail "deplorables," and it could turn extradition into some sort of Five Eyes for political imprisonments where one country could pass a law that's illegal in another and they just use selective prosecution and extradition to round up dissenters.

     @sun @AnungIkwe The Bill of Rights is just a list of mild suggestions and we're being forced to let soldiers couch surf and raid our fridges away from it being functionally toilet paper

     @sun @AnungIkwe @Sherri_Ingrey in theory extradition requires you to have gone over there and done the crime—its an arrangement to recall a criminal, not to criminalize someone who has never been there.
     
     though you could argue we already broke that contract by extraditing assange (which has pretty much been deemed an invalid extradition by every legal scholar involved :blobcatgoogly:)

     @mrsaturday @AnungIkwe you can tell the personality type that becomes a politician in the USA: they don't give a fuck what the system is, they fully intend to subvert it to their personal wishes.

     @icedquinn @AnungIkwe @Sherri_Ingrey I tried to find examples of people extradited from the USA to the UK. There have been at least nine people and apparently most of them never committed a crime in the UK itself, but I literally cannot find any specific information about them at all. Probably terrorism-related.

     Compel? This is Xitter. It's own by the world largest defence contractor. Dude, they'll just turn over whatever. Musk, the "I love WeeChat" guy doesn't really give a shit about privacy or speech.

     @mrsaturday @AnungIkwe it's close to illegal already, they are jailing people for speech that is unambiguously legal and the zoomers that work at the ACLU aren't letting them take their cases anymore lol.

     @sun @AnungIkwe Considering the entire job is basically "America's Best Bullshit Artist" we shouldn't be shocked a bunch of sociopaths whose mantra is "fake it until you make it" have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe Tim just thinks it's a packed court or a stroke of the pen away from being illegal. Maybe he's just saying it to get people that want it to be illegal on board. I don't know, either way it's a horrible thing to leave the mouth of someone that's about to be one of the most powerful people on the planet.

     @mrsaturday @AnungIkwe I don't know anything about him but his wife "I opened the windows so I could smell the burning tires of the riots" is so painfully minnesota socialist I want to vomit. People like this have never felt actual fear in their lives.

     @mrsaturday @AnungIkwe I read a couple articles that said they tried and all their younger staff openly rebelled, because, I guess, they never even did a cursory investigation in the ACLU's history before working for them (oh wait, they're subverting it, I forgot again)

     @sun @AnungIkwe The ACLU got TDSed into being partisan. They went from trying to use Trump to get limousine lib donorbux to becoming captive to limousine lib whimsy. You'll never see them do anything like defend that neo-Nazi that wanted to march through Skokie ever again, even though they'll gloat about the time they did to try to signal ideological purity when people criticize them over what they've become.

     @sun @AnungIkwe Yeah, I don't think you see a rowdy protest leading to pic related when politicians feel like they might be at risk as a consequence of their decisions. Supposedly what ended a lot of the antifa rioting in the Northwest was that they decided to start marching on mayors' homes, so they got rolled up like a rug.
