I'm guessing Twitter doesn't want to be the one deciding which phone numbers people are ok with being given out to millions of people.
> Twitter confirms that it's the posting of someone else's info that got him into trouble
So the headline should have been "Threat victim doxes someone on Twitter, gets temporary suspension"
It's a pity DeRogatis won't out the publications avoiding this story. If they are doing so because of the cost of losing a lawsuit then the solution is to make it more expensive to avoid these types of stories. That means voting with our wallets/clicks and tying this behaviour to reputation.
Trump: "One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community."
You: "Fake rights are the language of the left looking to expand the government at the expense of the citizen."
Your interpretation is nonsensical. Trump (who I doubt has ever been accused of being a lefty) is clearly using this language to justify scaling back government regulation over the police.
"part of the whole point of electing Trump was to remind the government of who works for whom."
Anyone who would vote for Trump for this reason is an idiot.
"I completely see Trumps rise as a natural result of Obama's administration and the Media's love affair with the Democratic Party."
That may be so, but disliking Dems or the media is NOT a justification for electing a buffoon into office.
I realize we can't expect logic from a buffoon such as Trump but it doesn't take much to realize that if you want to run "a law and order administration" that you need MORE control over the police, not less.
Law and order must start with the people who enforce it - if they will not follow the law then why should anyone else?
This should be non-partisan. Even if you feel that the government should be imposing less regulation on society you have to admit that proper enforcement of what regulation there is requires a fully compliant force. Giving them more latitude doesn't help anyone.
While I agree with th sentiment here I don't think it serves us to focus on details such as ease of use or lack thereof. While that definitely impacts the number of people using strong encryption today that certainly won't always be the case.
I think the most salient point we can make is that there is no end to methods of encryption. If we legislate or weaken one type, people will use another. That is true now and it will be true long after your corrupt government has fallen.
If the problem is a lot of people congregating in one place, one solution is to have more checkpoints and spread them out so there are fewer people in any one area.
I just thought I'd point out that one of the first things Canada's latest Prime Minister did was un-muzzle our scientists. It's sad to see the UK not learning from our past mistakes.
This could be a timing thing - with a new movie and series on the way CBS may simply have decided they need to more closely manage their brand. If the fan film took the ST universe in a direction that differs from their plans the result could be negative for CBS.
Agreed. Any good parent knows that positive reinforcement should be employed much more than threats and punishment when teaching children (and animals, for that matter) good behaviour.
In a very real sense people are being childish when they lash out on the internet - rationality goes out the window - so better to use these techniques for them too.
I'm generally against copyright and for Aereo but suggesting the difference between Aereo and a local recording box is merely cable length is simple-minded at best.
Yes the internet is effectively a wire but on the other end is a paid service, not just an antenna. They're receiving, transcoding and transmitting digital video, not just piping RF signals down copper.
They knew they were on shaky ground, they played their hand, they lost. It sucks but c'est la vie. This was never a way to bring about copyright reform.
I find it odd that you don't even imply that the reason for these delays may be, you know, a conflict of interest.
Way ahead of ya buddy! I vowed never to step foot in that totalitarian regime long ago.
iOS7 has been jailbroken. So Mike, are you going to code up a nice accessibility app for your poor friend now?
Be sure to let us know when it's done.
Wrong reasons for being right
Karl, I agree that such comparisons are all wrong, but it’s not for the reasons you state. Sharing passwords and piracy aren’t the reason cord cutting can’t be compared to cable nor the reason it’s cheaper, it’s that it allows us to simply have less and pay less.
Many people simple don’t want a million channels for $100/month. Now we don’t have to.
