What many of us have not considered, and may care less about because of our stance on being truthful and outward know that truth needs to be standard, is that surveillance [is] a thing. We jave heard about surveillance being active in various parts of the world. After going through informationsl link for only a few minutes you will comclude that America is, too, under surveillance and now matter the platform, even though a platform may be private used internet is scrutinized by a few outside governments that have actually infiltrated what was considered an avenue of frees speech. Yes, speech is free, but also and possibly scrutinized and kept logged in the cloud. My suggestion is that we all keep it one hunnid, and express what we mean with no F'Qn regrets☝🏿🙂.

ICQ, which stands for "I Seek You," was a standalone instant messaging client that predated and influenced many popular chat programs of the era, such as AIM, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger ¹. ICQ was launched in November 1996 by Israeli company Mirabilis and offered a number of innovative features including multi-user chat, async offline messaging, resumable file transfers and a searchable directory ¹. Users were issued a unique User Identification Number, or UIN, upon registration. This number, along with custom handles and an attached email address, were used to search for other users on the platform ¹.

ICQ's success captivated potential suitors, prompting AOL to acquire it for $287 million in 1998 ¹. America Online would manage to grow ICQ's user base tenfold over the next three years, surpassing more than 100 million registered users by the spring of 2001 ¹. However, the coming decade would again reinvent personal communication, driving conversations from mouse and keyboard to mobile devices ¹. ICQ's user base declined steadily over the following years, and the platform was sold to a Russian conglomerate called Digital Sky Technologies in 2010 ³. Despite a reboot performed by Mail.ru, ICQ failed to restore its popularity, with users moving to WhatsApp, Viber, and Skype instead of using the new app version ².

Today, ICQ is still being developed and used by 11 million people worldwide each month ¹. The latest stable release in desktop was this month (as of February 2022), version 10.0.46581, while Android and iOS apps have also been recently updated ¹. The core functionality - the ability to chat with friends and family - remains ¹.

Don't go vote just to vote showing off the voting sticker. Vote based on what a candidate will bring to society that will be of benefit to us or place your vote on a less MARKETED platform other than Democratic or republican. It is your choice. Keep it real.

Children being Handcuffed and taken to a mental facility, refered there by most like impatient and comspiring adults as teachers and grown ass people in uniform called police. It is evident that part of society is losing sentient values.

Sometimes it seem there is more sentience in A.i than dime of these organization and people.

A.i generated fir a wuick reference.

is a highly controversial and concerning practice. Handcuffing children and sending them to mental evaluations can be traumatic and stigmatizing, and it may not be the most appropriate way to address behavioral or mental health concerns.

There are many alternative and more compassionate methods for addressing the needs of children who may be struggling with mental health issues, such as providing access to counseling, therapy, and support services. It's essential for schools to prioritize the well-being and dignity of their students, and to ensure that any interventions are carried out in a respectful and empathetic manner.

Additionally, the use of handcuffs on children in non-threatening situations raises ethical and legal questions, as it may violate the child's rights and potentially lead to further harm. It's crucial for schools to consider the implications and potential consequences of their actions and to seek out more appropriate and effective strategies for supporting the mental health of their students.

Overall, the practice of handcuffing children and sending them to mental evaluations should be carefully re-evaluated, with a focus on finding more compassionate, respectful, and effective approaches to supporting the well-being of all students.
