Re: Is it, or isn't it? Only your Supreme Court knows...
> "though I leave that to the constitutional lawyers"
No Dude! That's the whole problem. Just because someone is a constitutional lawyer or scholar, does not automagically empower them to interpret the constitution.
That kind of deference to pseudo-expertise, is exactly why we have such a fucked in the head legal system!
Anyone with even a moderate level of intelligence can interpret what the Constitution means.
I mean for fracks sake, Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice!

Re:
" That's not how the Fourth Amendment works."
It's really adorable how quaint the readership here pretends to be.
Any logical, straight forward 'rights' intentionally written so that even the middle american 'common man' can understand them, can easily be subverted by over-intellectualizing legalistic mumbo-jumbo, just like the first and second amendments have been.

In the words of the noted political philosopher 'Nancy'
We can't possibly know what we are looking for until we find it!
Those Air Marshals are wasting resources, unless, we give them things to do.
For example. It's 6am on the east coast when the flight to LA loads up with the weekly cabin of disheveled bleary eyed 'management consultants' and the Air Marshal.
Normally this Marshall would just be loafing his/her time away wasting precious government resources. With this program using a quasi-Monte-Carlo randomization the agent can select a potential criminal target for surveillance.
This can have many potential positive externalities which your short sighted dimwit readership has not considered. Here are a few:
- Keep surveillance skills sharp - Conducting target assessments of hot chicks - Act as a conduit for the dissemination of illegal domestic NSA intelligence for use in parallel construction

Re:
Because Old Decrepit Congresspeople saying dumb things about technologies they don't understand doesn't prove shit.
Just like when the Goddess of Light, Hillary Clinton, said "“What? Like with a cloth or something?” in response to a question about whether or not she wiped her server with BleachBit, doesn't mean she can't address technology issues if they are explained to her correctly.
This is the same exact situation. These congresspeople are obviously getting complaints from their constituents, and trying to, however badly, address the issue while at the same time lacking the understanding and vocabulary to properly do it.
(Incidentally....THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF HUMAN CORPSES AKA JUDGES WHO ARE CREATING SHITTY PRECEDENTS about technologies and concepts they have no ability to analyze or comprehend, and which most of the articles here are about.)
So just because the ridiculous Gerontocracy in Congress is trying to solve a problem they can't themselves comprehend, doesn't mean there is no problem at all.

Re: Re:
If we're talking about those "top" people who control those firms, many of them would fall under a weird mix of Silicon Valley liberal/libertarianism, which is not at all "left leaning." This is why "left leaning" is such a stupid designation. It doesn't really mean anything useful.
Mike, you see, this is a very intelligent smart response. This is why it's so hard to figure out how someone who IS IN FACT aware and intelligent, able to arrive at such absurd conclusions.
On the one hand you demonstrate the ability to discern that our simplistic left-right political spectrum is inadequate, yet at the end of the intellectual 'journey' you always end up at a black and white dead end?

You are literally a caricature, a leftist version of a right wing 'Bubba' poster, who says things like "is that a man or a woman" and thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.

Re:
Literally, we just posted minutes apart, and I couldn't agree with you more.
I think the problem is that Mike Masnick is in an increasingly more delusional self-created bubble. This would be fine if Mike's audience appealed to the Corporate-Democrat-Republican establishment scum bags who run these companies.
He probably knows many of these people personally and thus can't properly look at topics objectively anymore.
Also, Mike's friends at google and twitter and facebook, they couldn't give two shits about freedom of speech, the corrupt patents system in this country, or the corrupt increasingly unjust legal system.
His virtue signalling has no payoff, since his topics run counter to their agendas.

Another New Year's Resolution Down The Toilet...
I promised myself that I would stop responding to your more nauseating self-referencing click bait articles, and well, here I am again:
"...ridiculous and blatantly misleading claims about how they're "censoring" conservatives, which is a bunch of utter nonsense."
So that time when Twitter censors admitted that the entire process involves a room with a bunch of uneducated a-holes who basically do what they want, and just happen to shadow ban folks they don't like, who all happen to be "conservatives" ...yup that never happened. "Jack Dorsey is a nice guy and he would never do such a thing, we met at SXSW and Burning Man once and he was awesome!"
Now, for your convenience, here is a list of knee-jerk cookie cutter responses for you to use:
1. This is just one employee! 2. Project Veritas!? That's not a credible news agency like CNN! 3. Oh that Project Veritas guy is a known fake news peddler who cuts video scenes out of context. 4. This article doesn't say what you think it says. 5. They aren't banning conservatives, they are banning hate speech / trolls / toxic people / violators of TOS

Re: this is awesome!
It's a typical Tim Cushing article. He is the stereotypical Trump-bashing hypocrite, who will turn everything he claims to believe on its head when the person doing the screwing is a Democrat.
There is ZERO logical consistency across articles.
"Hate Speach" Laws were one of the many reasons normally progressive folks, finally had had enough, and voted for Trump.
