Is “carriage service” a weird legal way of saying bus?
Carriage service is pretty standard these days. Apparently it came about when people would transfer small amounts of money into other people's accounts with threatening messages attached to the transfer
It's a way of saying a method of transmitting information. Replace 'a carriage service' with 'the internet' and you'd cover much (albeit not all) of the intention there.
Oh I see. Doesn’t the anarchist cookbook txt that’s been going around for decades tell you how to make dum-dum rounds?
Probably, I did find a copy of that as a kid but it's been long enough that I can't recall specifics.
That is something that could fall under the new rule though, as could watching youtube videos of people modding guns, or gun owners downloading a maintenance manual for the guns they own, or if particularly misapplied even things like getting an ebook that happens to mention an aside about weapons/explosive manufacture (pretty sure Jules Verne describes a way to make explosives in The Mysterious Island for example).
No.
