That's the point. At any moment some dude can just grab a knife and go into a stabbing spree, get a vehicle and drive into a crowd, get guns and fire into a crowd (it happens here were guns are very restricted as well so availability isn't a problem) etc etc etc. No amount of cameras can prevent it short from going full minority report and this is bound to generate tons of false positives simply because people have tons of prejudice and will label anything not conforming to their own concept of 'normal' as stabe-y or murder-y.
If you turn the chart upside down the investment is falling, problem solved. Move ahead with the plans, I need more monies to stuff in my ears, some of the noise from the citizens is still leaking inside. - Ajit Pai
Will these people be compensated for unjust jail time and psychological harm? I hope so.
It's good to see this kind of thing happening. Law enforcement has to be reined in and reminded of their role and their obligations. And generally held to a much higher standard since they can destroy lives with their misconduct.
So you hacked a sex toy. Aside from DDoS attacks (using a dildo to spearhead the attack has to be mentioned in a non-journalistic way in future articles, please) what could be done with it? Crank up the vibration dial to "killing pleasure"?
"Of course, "broadband" will have to be re-defined as "Any Access at All", but that doesn't seem to be an issue.."
I've heard that there are some Indian tribes in the US using fast broadband smoke signs. And earning millions with invalid patents, sketchy copyrights and """"broken"""" slot machines.
"just to allow easier access by police and the security services."
And how does she think it can be done? I mean, she's asking the experts and they are saying there's no way of doing this so what does she propose? Does she have some super-hyper-experts that can do better than actual experts from all around (read: magicians) and are hiding it? Ask her that question.
"Ms Rudd, despite having created awesome security systems and/or companies that are worth hundreds of billions we don't know how to provide encryption that's easier to access by law enforcement that won't be as easier to the crooks. We are dumbasses so please enlighten us from the top of your marvelous wisdom!"
No seriously. Throw the ball in her lap. If she actually takes it and manages to give birth to some system then quickly compromise it to show her she is an idiot. Sure a lot of taxpaying money will be wasted but at the very least you drive the point home: there's no such a thing as 'encryption that can be more easily accessed by law enforcement' that isn't effectively 'no encryption at all'.
North Korea charges $660 per month for 1mbit and unlimited data. At the very least Americans will have more speed even if they can only use it to the max for a few dozen minutes?
I'm kind of thorn on how much of a data breach is a problem considering even companies with the best security practices out there can still fall victim to an unsuspecting employee inserting a heavily contaminated usb stick. That said, breaches that bad and comprehensive (Yahoo, Equifax) should immediately spell the end of the company. Either by people flocking out or via government shutting it down for good. Yahoo is walking fast towards the end but Equifax got awarded new no-bid contracts worth millions by the govt.. So, yea, expect your data to be violated ad nauseam forever and nobody moving to fix it.
"That, apparently, will have to make due until the MPAA and RIAA (and the myriad of folks paid to love them) can concoct an even worse idea."
The MAFIAA existence is the worst idea of all in this madness we call copyright. They have been toxic to humanity for quite a while now. Sadly their predictions that piracy would be their demise haven't materialized, it would have been wonderful.
And they wonder why the majority of people that leave jails just fall back to crime. You know what's cheaper, USA? Just kill them all. The tyrants, psychopaths and sociopaths wet dream.
"it leaves you wondering just how much homework Pai has done before deciding to "take a weedwhacker" (his words) to essential consumer protections on the telecom front. "
I'll describe the process:
*Pai looks at the pile of mone3y offered by ISPs* Pai: Time to take a weedhacker at those 'burdensome regulations'. ISPs: *excited, orgasmic clapping*
"and even though both programs are associated with President Obama, the Trump administration has been adamant that it supports both organizations as well, and they're important to continuing to modernize the federal government."
Don't! Now Drumpf is gonna scrape it.
Ahem. Oracle just needs to hit the lobby gland the right way. Just look at the FCC.
Re: Again defending grifter who illegally got millions.
It's amazing how you manage to miss the point even when it's made clear in the article it's not about Dotcom being guilty or not. You are special. As in, mentally handicapped special.

As long as severe punishments don't start being delivered this kind of breach will keep happening. At the very least the crooks have tons of very valuable info on their victims by now so... win?
"maybe kinda sorta is copyright infringement is the kind of legal action that practically begs for a reprimand. "
And yet we have such a mess of a system and such a sense of entitlement from a portion of the "creators" (I'm using the term loosely) that this lawsuit is actually happening.
