Justice #ClarenceThomas, writing for the 5 conservative justices, said the federal #law that generally shields the #PostalService from lawsuits over missing, lost & undelivered #mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”

In dissent, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor wrote that while the protection against lawsuits is broad, it does not extend to situations when the decision not to deliver mail “was driven by #malicious reasons.” Justice Neil #Gorsuch joined his 3 liberal colleagues in dissent.

#SCOTUS rules the #PostalService can't be sued, even when #mail is intentionally not delivered

A divided Supreme Court Tues ruled citizens can’t sue the #USPS, even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail.

By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled against a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan, who alleges her mail was intentionally withheld for 2 years. Konan, who is #Black, claims racial #prejudice played a role in postal employees’ actions.

De derde blog over alternatieven (met @Riso en @rikdekker) laat scherp zien hoe digitale commons zoals @nextcloud zich verhouden tot bestaande #mail- en #agenda-ecosystemen.

De kern: zonder volledige inzet op open standaarden blijft echte digitale soevereiniteit uit... en vervangen we vooral de afhankelijkheden.

Een strategisch gesprek dus. Niet alleen over techniek meer, maar vooral ook over waarden balanceren!
