As reported by JTA, the Ohio legislature in its final session earlier this month gave final passage to H.B. 504 (full text) amending the ban on disturbing a lawful meeting to increase penalties and to focus specifically on disturbing religious services. The Act now provides in part:
Disturbing a lawful meeting is a misdemeanor of the first degree if either of the following applies:
(1) The violation is committed with the intent to disturb or disquiet any assemblage of people met for religious worship at a tax-exempt place of worship, regardless of whether the conduct is within the place at which the assemblage is held or is on the property on which that place is located and disturbs the order and solemnity of the assemblage.
(2) The violation is committed with the intent to prevent, disrupt, or interfere with a virtual meeting or gathering of people for religious worship, through use of a computer, computer system, telecommunications device, or other electronic device or system, or in any other manner.

I though such disturbing of the peace was already against the law. Well, at least it’s all being spelled out for those who were unclear on the concept.
Antifa plan to avoid this:
1) Sic the IRS on the church to get it’s tax-exempt status removed.
2) Disrupt the church services to prevent the hated Christians from doing their worshiping.
3) Ensure you do it in person, not by electronic means.
4) Rely on Merrick Garland to do absolutely nothing. He hates them, too!
When I lived in Ohio in the early 80s, it was pretty much a purple state. Looks like it’s flipped solid red.
Draining the crap out of the big blue cities appears to be the answer.
Cleveland has appeared to clean up in recent years. I first went there in 1982 and it appeared to be like Detroit. I went there in 2015 and it was cleaned up quite a bit.
WTF is “Zoom-Bombing”?
Bump
Zoom bombing is entering a meeting you weren’t invited to and intentionally disrupting it. It’s largely caused by people who are sloppy setting up the security features.
But ***holes will always find ways to be ***holes.
Tracking the perpetrators down will be the problem.

I am retired now but my previous employer was totally paranoid that competitors could somehow “listen in” on zoom meetings and/or conference calls.
It quickly devolved into a Captain Queeg/”who ate the strawberries” scenario.
Never go full Captain Queeg!

“ but my previous employer was totally paranoid that competitors could somehow “listen in” on zoom meetings and/or conference calls.”
It’s entirely possible that they were. I rarely use Zoom in a professional setting for that reason. All of the meetings I set up use Teams. And then I’m careful to invite only the required people. And I strongly discourage forwarding the meeting invites.
I also try to keep an eye on who is actually in the meeting.
Nothing can keep a really determined jerk out, of course. But I haven’t had problems as of yet.

My issue is that any security needs to be handled “in the background” in a routine manner—and one on one if there are specific problems.
Public discussion can quickly morph into public obsession and make the boss look like a paranoid clown.
That is what happened in my old workplace.
“ My issue is that any security needs to be handled “in the background” in a routine manner—and one on one if there are specific problems.”
Agreed. And I would never recommend Zoom anyway. It’s Chinese so off the list on general principle.

This happened to me twice in my Wild Wednesday Webcast when my original link (secure) had a problem. I bounced the analpickles.
