Because its trendy to blame teh interwebs.

The media is afraid of Trump.
Thats all it is.
They will revoke a hard pass on a whim, if you ask a tough question he'll insult you or worse send his faithful to harass you. I mean its not like they turn up with guns making threats... not like we can expect the FBI to do anything about it.
We've reached a point where reporting the truth is an act of bravery in the face of unhinged armed wackjobs who refuse to believe what they saw & heard themselves, instead accepting Trumps claims of I never said that.
Of course if Trump wanted a landslide why didn't he make a single Q prediction come true? They haven't gotten a single thing they hoped for & yet keep supporting their savior who is hardly aware they exist.

Re: Re:
If only the law decided to say, if you don't keep it available in the market at a fair price GFY.
Instead they get to lock things up pretty much forever until they find some stupid way to squeeze 2 more cents from it & try to get the copyright to continue.
Manuals for games would be a REALLY stupid hill for Nintendo to plant their flag on, I expect them to within 2 weeks, b/c there is no actual harm to them. They don't even make these anymore & giving them yet more power to lock up culture for no reason other than well maybe someday we'll bring back 16 bit glory in cartridge form should get them slapped.
Given the ytdl thing with RIAA & Github I can see Nintendo jumping on the bandwagon that making manuals available will somehow benefit pirates so we need to stop it even if it punishes people who bought the game but lost the book.

I've been giggling like a 12 yr old since the idea of ScrewDriving first came up. Wandering around with a BT enabled device & seeing who has what devices stuffed into their orifices (Sadly Back Orifice was already a well known exploit) & then take control of them.
I dared to ask a gay sex toy operation who were pushing yet another BT enabled device if they had done any security checks on the devices (I mean you want me to pay $200+, I should be able to make sure its only accessible to the person I chose.) they blocked me on Twitter. The porn star who was in the advertisement called me a killjoy & to lighten up.
This all came up after a hacker had exploited a IoT buttplug & it was actually feasible to set it up to be a vector to insert (snicker) malicious code.

Better solution...
Stop allowing humans to demand corporations do something, corporations are like large intellectually challenged teddy bears who might stumble on a solution after setting everything on fire first.
Once upon a time if someones kid was bullying other kids, it was perfectly acceptable for any adult to slap the bully upside the head. It wasn't discussed it was how community worked. We expected kids to behave, didn't force them to like people but they knew going after someone meant your head would hurt & your parents would know about it... and well you might have problems sitting down for a bit.
Now we have parents who will scream at you for looking at their little angel sideways as they run down the aisle ripping stuff off the shelves onto the floor.
How DARE you tell me how to parent my child!!!
Well maybe if you started parenting them I wouldn't have to say anything.
My parents would have NEVER walked into the school and screamed at a teacher b/c I got a bad grade. I'd get a talking to (and being the defiant child I'd stay my course) but other adults were not disrespected to gain adoration from their kids.
These kids MIGHT get bullied. News flash, those kids already knew this. Parents have blinders on that this never happens & when someone tries to tell them the truth they stop listening b/c their baby would never do that. In the grand scheme of things maybe just maybe lets stop abdicating the hard things we should be doing but won't to corporations to "take care of" for us.
Imagine if teaching kids empathy mattered as much as having a sportsball season. We have parents demanding their kids get to play in the middle of a global pandemic, b/c their baby getting their moment in the spotlight matters more than you're kid might end up in the ICU or with long term heart/lung damage.
That Anonymous Coward (profile), 8 Oct 2020 @ 9:49am
These sorts of things happen no matter who is in power, we shouldn't pretend it never does.
The issue is for once they are doing it openly...
Its like when Pharma Bro jacked up the price, smugly admitted to it, and threatened to raise it higher. Hes in jail for ripping off other rich people, but not people who needed the medication. This stunt has been pulled by a majority of drug companies, but after Pharma Bro was in jail we stopped looking at the fact this is wide spread & harms people & society as a whole.
Maybe we should blame the player AND the game & demand the rules be printed so we can all read them & suggest edits.

Re: ...also, they indicted a ham sandwich
^^^^^ This.
The director made the film to make a point about how society screws young girls up.
But in the current Q influenced world, everyone is raping babies & this movie only exists so pedophiles can masturbate to it & maybe do other bad things.
Netflix screwed up the promotional materials & if I hear anyone screaming about they were twerking!!!!!!!! I might vomit.
We have girls under 10 made up like pedophile fantasies holding events for crowns & such... silence.
Humans have such short memories, JonBenet after her death the 'zomg it was pedophiles!!!' & 'How dare they make her look sexy!!' lead to moral crusaders... who sit at home watching Toddlers and Tiaras today.
People sit back without knowing the facts, & ride that assumption train & demand someone do something for the children!!!
Pedophiles might fap to it!!
Gays marrying will hurt my marriage!
Bitch, I'm on a diet... so no fucking cookies for anyone.
This could be a great movie that shows realistically what society is putting girls through, but we mustn't look at it... because someone imagines some possible bad outcome.
But then me having the right to marry the man I love was billed as being the first step to people marrying animals... perhaps operating from imagined fear is a bad way to live.

Remember the game 'Telephone" where you would whisper something to someone and by the time it made it around the group the original statement was lost?
This is how information about this movie is spreading.
I read one of the purity fighters who frame by frame watched the alleged cp (such dedication to expose themselves to it for so long over & over) compiled a list of horrible things.
Pants were pulled down & underwear was seen!!!!!!
Actual scene - girls in a fight, one grabs the others legs to drag her & her pants slide down. Her underwear covered ass is seen for less than 4 seconds. It wasn't a thong.
I think it says a lot about people who are basing their criticism & claims on what they heard someone thinks they saw when principal skinner & mrs kerbopple were in the coast closet making babies and one of the babies winked at them.
Netflix screwed up the marketing but the insane hysteria over a film is really silly.
Imaginary children were exploited!!!
Actual real children we are keeping in cages are being sexually abused by other detainees and guards... crickets.
We care more that someone might see this movie & rub one out while ACTUAL CHILDREN ARE BEING RAPED IN OUR NAMES.
But tell me again how this isn't just grandstanding for people who didn't think the world suck enough already so we needed to imagine child pron around every corner.

When "protecting" the image of the system trumps the truth, perhaps the system needs to fall.
We give them small passes on small things, which leads to needing larger passes for larger things, which leads to a court ruling the officers could not have known making a suspect bend over on the side of the road while they probed their ass in front of traffic would be a violation of their rights.
Cops cry b/c someone allegedly wrote pig on their coffee cup & we're supposed to care even when we show it was a lie... but somehow we're not supposed consider that if they were willing to lie about something small to get sympathy they won't tell larger lies to protect themselves.

We can't even help people without making sure we get paid a bit extra.
We want people to stay on our platform, even if there are better resources available out there.
We want the data so we can show potential 'partners' we are worthy of those nice drug rep visits where our staff gets lunch.
Anyone who has anything bad to say is always disgruntled, we are always perfect & they are jealous.
The platform and concept might be the best thing since sliced bread, but the go go go attitude to increasing income sources will always ruin things. Profit overcomes the desire to help & profit drives everything. Those who are supposed to be helped are just a means to a paycheck.
