I am sure the lesson taken here by DiGiovanni and his ilk is to learn a small modicum of self-control and immediately and fatally shoot the person they decide to molest instead of enjoying a little of the old ultraviolence. They won't talk back after that. Not in court or anywhere else.
You realize the the whole system was lock-in. It's like trying to get more than a small percentage of people and corporations to walk away from Microsoft.
They _have_ to publish _somewhere well-known_ and be _cited_ in order to get anywhere at all. To get or keep a job, to get research funded, for anything. Critical mass had to be reached and the publishers had to keep increasing their egregious behavior until the _organizations_ back the academics, or at least don't punish them for not publishing in the major outlets (which restrict the rights to open publishing).
Never mind the fact that government agencies fully allowed this behavior to occur with publicly-funded research for ages when these public institutions could have simply been publishing openly themselves (especially anything funded by federal agencies) since long before the internet.
You want the organizations that perpetuate that system to show the the door to the last few generations of people who fought for better or open access and better communication with the public? Good plan there.
The lower court -- realizing it was being asked to step in and act as a proxy parent for the teen's internet use -- handed down a lengthy list of restrictions supposedly aimed at keeping the teen from committing further criminal acts. This included several restrictions on the teen's internet use, for reasons only apparent to the lower court.
_Section 1509 thus provides CBP no power to compel Twitter to reveal information pertaining to the identity of the individual(s) behind the @ALT_USCIS account. _
Um, then the power of Christ compels you? Or something?
(Yo Eddie, where is that bigger First Amendment backdoor? _Yeah_, the one that replaces the entire wall; which one did you think i was talking about?)
Or keep doing it until people become accustomed to it, and the next person killed / terrorist attack means the can whine about how they need more intrusive abilities, and you need less rights, in order for them to catch criminals and save lives. Rinse, repeat.
How is a lobbyist interacting with the government a "private individual"? Almost all communications are between private individuals on a basic level, so they could exempt everything?
If we just gloss over freedom of expression and sensible and necessary journalistic rights, we can look at this pragmatically from the government's point of view.
Why the hell do you blow your shot at having the press reveal things over one lousy case? Something you probably didn't even know about until someone reported on it. Idiots! Do your damn investigative work. Your authoritarian streak to simply compel everything or walk away is showing again.
