But it's entirely reasonable that the actions of one tarnishes the other. If a "child corporation" is behaving badly, the "parent corporation" can apply a huge amount of pressure to fix it. If they don't then they are saying that they agree with what the "child" is doing.
Crypto export controls were eased after that, but not eliminated. You still need an export license for "military grade equipment", tempest-approved electronics, custom crypto, and crypto consulting services.
Also, you need to register (but not get a license) with BIS if you are exporting mass market commodities or crypto exceeding 64 bits.
"These officers just did what their supervisor told them to do."
Really? Their supervisors told them to use the drugs they found? Seems doubtful.
Even if everything they did was what their supervisors told them to do, though, that excuses nothing at all. The officers are still corrupt and criminal. The only thing "I was ordered to do it" means is that your boss is corrupt and criminal as well.
I seriously doubt 4chan has that sort of mechanism. In general, though, that type of mechanism is trivially easy to navigate without giving up your anonymity.
"I'm sorry to say this but if you honestly think that the public "is not allowed a seat at the table" while your politicians discuss that agreement then you do not live in a democracy."

"Well, it's not crazy. The tax is distributed over all device users since it would be an intolerable invasion of privacy to check or require proof who is using his media for what in the privacy of his home"
Yes, it's available -- but the database maintenance isn't where the complexity would lie. Regardless, the amount of work involved would still be small and not a problem.
I think the real reason why developers want to use the address book is because the alternative is to have the user actually enter in the information for his friends -- and if that's required, then almost nobody will do it.
"The problem with that is that a group of persons remain persons."
A corporation is not just "a group of persons". It is something more. It is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from the people who work for it.
I know a lot of excellent security engineers that would be able to pass the FBI hiring criteria and wouldn't mind the pay scale (assuming the work was interesting enough).
Not a single one of them would consider working for the FBI. This is primarily because the FBI has made themselves clearly and unambiguously the Bad Guys of security, and so the enemies of white hat engineers.
Secondarily, as the article mentions, anyone who took a job with the FBI would find themselves essentially exiled and would lose the benefits of all of the friends and professional contacts they've spent years accruing.
It is, in other words, a career killer.
That the FBI thinks the issue is one of pay shows just how completely out of touch they are -- and is another bright red flag telling people that they shouldn't work for the FBI.
"Having a participatory community needs to be a strategic decision. It requires investment, and therefore it needs to make sense to make that investment."
This one sentence summarizes much of what is wrong with having so much of the web commercialized.
