Mostly horseshit clickbait. They are both in a lower security dormitory style lockup at the same holding facility e.g. large room with a lot of bunk beds.
...Combs began living in the same unit as Bankman-Fried and sleeping in a “dormitory-style” room with a number of other defendants last week after he was arrested...
I'm going to need you to actually quote which part of my comment you're responding to.
As far as I can tell, what you wrote has exactly nothing to do with anything that I said.
At no point did I mention laws, or legal loopholes.
And I certainly never mentioned anything about the United States, or the legal liability of Twitter, except as in response to your comment.
I think you're confusing my acknowledgment of the daily reality of a country that is currently divided between 3 and 5 major and minor factions, all in various states of civil conflict, with being something else entirely.
I wasn't providing any opinion, or analysis, on the legality from Twitter's perspective. I certainly wasn't making any comparisons to laws in the United States and Yemen, or anything else that you've been talking about since your first comment.
I would make the "duh no shit this is clickbait" observation if the BBC ran yet another story about how kids are selling drugs on Snapchat or Instagram.
You mean the first three paragraphs describing a few ads on Twitter for weapons?
Followed by the BBC, quoting other British "NGO" organizations, trying to rally people to support additional actions against a group that Britain currently engaged in military actions against? Yes, I read that as well.
The article reads like two separate articles pasted together by a moron. The only connective tissue between the Twitter ads, and the Houthis, was that the weapons traders lived an area controlled by them. News flash, the Houthis control a majority of the country.
So again, in a country that has had an active civil war since 2014, it's not surprising that people are selling weapons anywhere and everywhere, online, and off.
Why are you assuming that there is a state of law and order to any degree, outside of maybe the capital..?
Are you aware that we're talking about Yemen...?
Notice that Wikipedia page for their civil war doesn't currently have an end date i.e. it's still active...
It's not like Twitter is providing up support for these transactions, I'm saying it's not surprising they exist on a public forum like Twitter for a country that's ravaged by a decade war and famine.
Just like how kids in the United States sell drugs on Twitter or Instagram.
So no, Twitter is not automatically liable just because people are abusing the platform. I'm not saying it can't get there, just that it's not that simple.
Regardless, I wasn't saying anything about the legality of it for Twitter.
Your reading comprehension is so absurdly bad, that I got to believe you're either trolling, insane, or on a lot of Adderall. I'm out lol.
I'm having a hard time finding where I said that I wanted to live under Houthi rule, or when I denied their status as militant Islamists.
Can you please scroll up to my other comments and point those out for me? Thanks in advance.
Oh, and just a reminder to anyone who actually made it this far into this idiotic rabbit hole, my original comment was that it is entirely unsurprising that Yemeni civilians are buying arms to wherever they can, be it Twitter or a local marketplace, due to the past decade of conflict, years long aerial bombing campaign, and famine.
I can't tell if you're a troll, or actually insane. But I guess those don't have to be mutually exclusive.
I didn't denounce anyone, even among the groups and actors I mentioned. I simply gave a very brief look at situation. You're mad that I didn't provide a complete and detailed analysis, which is irrelevant to my point about civilians bearing arms.
Not for nothing, but your politics are pretty clear, and if it was relevant at ALL to this subject, I'd happily engage. But it's not, so stop yelling into the wind to distract from the fact that your comments are clearly about your disdain of the Yemini people.
No, we're acknowledging that countries wrecked by civil war and intermittent famines going back a decade, aren't known for their ability to police domestic issues fairly, on time, or even at all. I'd be more interested to know what percent of the households are NOT armed.
For the record, I said nothing about any government, or political groups/militias. They're armed primarily by their proxy sponsor, I'm talking about retail arms sale to civilians, bandits, normies, and scared parents alike.
Unless you think IRCG is arming the Houthis via Twitter.
This is bordering on clickbait, because of course weapons are being sold in some form or fashion at most forums or marketplace in Yemen.
It's a country that has been wrecked by civil war and years of a genocidal air campaign by the Saudis, and now intermittent targeted strikes by American and British naval forces.
I would be shocked if most of those people aren't also selling those openly at their local Bazaar or market.
I think the real question is, what do you want to repurpose it for?
Because the answer to your question is yes, it is usable, but whether or not it's capable of what you want to use it for, we can't say without more information.
Linux installation appears to be possible. This is a wiki to an Arch on ARM distro, but you might want to look for something a bit more user friendly if you're not comfortable with Arch.

Just remember, it's a fairly low spec machine. Think of it like a Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and monitor built in, in terms of what you can hope to run on it.
