Stop S08102A: How New York’s Proposed Digital ID Bill Threatens Privacy and the Internet

The internet has long been one of humanity’s most dynamic spaces, a place where creativity, connection, and information flow freely across borders and boundaries. For decades, it has thrived on decentralization, anonymity, and the ability for individuals to interact without constant oversight. But now, with New York’s proposed bill S08102A, that freedom is under serious threat. This is not a minor tweak or a simple safety measure.

A Dallas energy company’s lawsuit could bankrupt #Greenpeace’s U.S. operations

The pipeline company’s chairman, #KelcyWarren, is one of the richest men in North #Texas. Warren has donated $5 million to former President #Trump’s 2024 campaign.

"#EnergyTransfer, led by North Texas #billionaire Kelcy Warren, claims in the lawsuit that Greenpeace and others incited protests, spread misinformation and vandalized the project, costing Energy Transfers millions of dollars in delays, according to The New York Times. The case is set for trial in #February2025 in #NorthDakota’s #MortonCounty.

"The lawsuit is the second instance of Energy Transfer targeting Greenpeace with a lawsuit. Their initial effort argued that the group violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or #RICO laws, but was dismissed by a federal judge in North Dakota. Energy Transfer subsequently filed the current suit in North Dakota state court.

"Greenpeace’s website calls the ongoing case 'meritless,' adding that it is 'an attack on two key elements of #PublicAdvocacy: #FreeSpeech and #peacefulprotest.'

"Energy Transfer denies those claims."
