Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The detained constitutional lawyer Enrique Anaya has recently described El Salvador President Nayib Bukele as a "dictator."

A constitutional lawyer and fierce critic of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has been arrested on charges of "money laundering," the prosecutor's office said.

The lawyer, Enrique Anaya, has described Bukele as a "dictator." He was arrested at his home in the city of Santa Tecla on Saturday.

Human rights organizations have said the move aims to silence those who question the government.

Bukele's hardline approach to El Salvador's powerful gangs has made him immensely popular among voters. But it has also led activists to raise alarm over arbitrary arrests and diminishing civil liberties.

Yeah, this is the corrupt authoritarian shithole tactic: everyone in power has done some crime that they can get persecuted for, that's how they get access, so long as the dictator has leverage over you and when convenient, they use the justice system to "activate" the charges.
