I suspect this is not going to go well when they find poor people who torrent for the community and try to squeeze them for blood in the courts, or find that an academic server is used to seed in it’s idle time.
This figured into the cruel, heartless reputations of the MPA and RIAA that persist to this day.
The EU is also run by legacy plutocratic elites desperate to retain their power.
The rich over there is just as tasty.
Ever since we let law enforcement use facial recognition technology, they’ve been arresting people for false positives, sometimes for long periods of time.
it’s not just camera problems and being poorly trained regarding non-whites, but that people actually look too much alike, especially when using the tech on blurry low-res security footage,
Three in four, according to Guttmacher. Half are due to failure to implant, and go by undetected.
But part of the problem is women who miscarry often suffer from mental illness, including an unreasonable belief that somehow they are at fault. (Selection is part of the gestation process. Many, many conceptions are incompatible with life even in perfect conditions.) So law enforcement may be capitalizing on a demographic that already feels guilty.
That one is a bit more about the how rather than the why. HTBUaP gets into the nitty about ruling out less violent action since out industrialist-owned officials haven’t responded sufficiently concerns and grievances.
The problem is getting millions on board. In the 1970s, the zip code was a hard sell, and it had PSAs
There’s this original message.
In Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future power-switches were seriously illegal. Not sure if a capital offense, but prison-worthy for sure.
Nor was I saying it did.
The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects:
When Justice Amy Coney Barrett was being reviewed for her bench position, she couldn’t remember the last one.
But Pepperidge Farm remembers.
So today, YouTube’s pop-ups rolled down to Views will be limited to one unless you remove your adblocker at which point the pop-ups ceased. (I was intentionally rolling them down). Have: Firefox, DDG Privacy Essentials, NoScript, uBlock Origin
Techs working to give me access: I love you guys! I really appreciate what you’re doing.
Fuck the hurtful comments, and do it to fight capitalism and enshittification.
That said, when I can no longer YouTube without ads, I will no longer YouTube, which also means no engagement on video forums. Useful, interesting rants is what I have to offer.
Whether or not USA Today believes in free speech, its sponsors to not. They expect brand safe conduct.
Also USA Today’s upper management has opinions on what they would publish. You won’t see pro-anarchist op-eds in USA Today.
That said, news agencies are less good for getting news rather used in conjunction with others to confirm their veracity.
…and they knew it from the beginning.
Even the MPAA and RIAA know piracy fuels culture and makes golden hits into platinum hits and boost sequel album sales and auxiliary items (toys and lunchboxes).
They can’t help themselves because to the execs and shareholders, it feels like lost sales and theft. And the DRM market capitalizes on those feelings.
I hope in Canada law enforcement cares more about following the rules than it does in the US.
They did this before with the eliptic curve cryptography, and we knew it had this problem before it was implemented as a standard.
So if the NSA offers a standard, don’t trust it and include in your encryption software the option to use something different.
It’s never about the public interest but the preservation of plutocratic power.
Two details:
FBI expands rapidly to DHS and then the entire US Police State. If you cross borders, expect ICE AND CBP to be up in your body cavities. If the local county sheriff doesn’t like you, or you’re being stalked by an officer (say, an ex) expect them also to have access.
When you think Hackers think of not only data mining interests like Palantir but also industrial spies. If you have any business interests on your phone subject to an NDA (or you’re motivated not to share because reasons) these guys will sell that information to your competitors, if they weren’t hired by them in the first place.
If you run more than a mom-and-pop then the default security of your smartphone is not enough. But a lot of sizeable companies supply their officers with unprotected phones.
And I applaud your privacy ethic.
Yes, the average user is neither aware of the process of drive recovery / data erasure, nor aware of exposure risks that come with taking your system to Geek Squad.
I suspect most of them are not engaged in anything that might excite the FBI (so are only guilty of the typical CFAA violations that are not enforced except when an official wants to silence a given journalist).
Though to be fair there are a lot of ignorant criminals.
They’ve turned away from suing pirates directly for alleged costs, because telling a little girl she owes you thousands for downloading a song is really not a good look.
So they’ve been trying to convince the ISPs to deny service to people, but the ISPs don’t want to piss off their own customers (any more than they already do with hidden fees and crappy service).
