Not only were they raising prices, they were ridiculously incompetent: if you saved a movie to (cloud) DVR and tried to play it later, there was an even chance the sound would go out of sync with the picture halfway through. I don't mean by an irritating half-second, but by maybe 20 seconds. Worthless.
Which, in my opinion, would realize that a teen wanting (and, I hardly need add, getting) access to porn is nothing to scream about. And nothing to get all Big-Brother-I'm-Looking-Over-Your-Shoulder about.
Masnick: "As the story notes, Facebook has (smartly) decided to not allow anti-vax nonsense advertising. It will, of course, allow important pro-vaccination awareness advertising."
Because when you're a True Believer, any other views are heresy and must be suppressed.
Nonsense. Punishment should be administered for ACTUAL harm caused, not for POTENTIAL harm. Maybe the driver didn't get "lucky"; maybe he was employing the necessary skill to avoid collisions, though his blood alcohol content was [whatever].
Perfect original satire, perfect response to Shortline's idiotic letter. When someone rises to the bait, it's time to hit them even harder. We can only hope that Shortline ups the ante one more time.
Properly encrypted data can NOT be content-moderated, no matter what Professor Mayer says. Of course, a company could set up an app that looks at clear-text before it is encrypted, but anything already encrypted by the sender before that app sees it can't be examined.
Wray: "We also have no interest in any “back door,” another straw man. We—the FBI, our state and local partners—we go through the front door."
Wray's "front door" is identical to everyone else's use of the term "back door". Memo to Wray: if you want to bullshit people effectively, do so more cleverly than this.
The only thing wrong with your comment is that you blame one political party exclusively. Don't look now, but the Democrats also want to rip you off and run your life.
Rosen: " The companies that develop these platforms should keep the keys, maintaining their users’ trust by providing access to content only when a judge has ordered it."
That would be a judge who is a member of the largest and most corrupt criminal organization in America, the U.S. government? My trust level is so low it can't be charted.
The good news: we the people, which is we the good guys, are winning and will will win the encryption war, one way or another. The thugs in government simply can't stop its use, in secret through steganography if by no other means.
Net Neutrality was a massive intrusion by the government into affairs that are none of its business. I suppose it's futile to ask you to stop obsessing that its repeal is somehow HORRIBLE, though, right?

Oh right, Masnick
John Oliver totally did this segment because YOU urged him to. I'm sure.
Where can I go to mock Nunes?
I don't have a Twitter account.

Excellent
Any day that overreach by government thugs is acknowledged is a good day. Now if only that POS ex-husband had to pull the money out of his own pocket!
Excellent

An even better outcome
... would have been for that asshole, criminal cop to have been shot on the spot. Preferably before he shot the dog.
Cops in America are completely out of control, and it's way past time to push back in a serious manner.
Re: Expediency is not Justice
Excellent comment. I'm gonna quibble with your math, though: 2 of 2900 is not .0005%. It's about .07%, still ridiculously small, of course.
Five Eyes can kiss my patootie
"The UK wing of the Five Eyes surveillance conglomerate says the only thing that should be "absolute" is the government's access to communications."
Bad news, bozos: you ain't getting it. If all else fails, there is steganography, which conceals that a message is embedded in an image or music file.
There you go again
