No FOIA request is needed as I am sure that all the good cops receiving these will be sharing them with the local press because of their desire to root out this sort of behavior.
Release the names of officers involved in shootings AND treat them just like anyone else involved in a shooting including arresting them when appropriate instead of putting them on paid leave.
This is the real crime here. I have to think that someone living in a 24k house is just trying to get by and improve their circumstances. So this whole action sets them back to what? Homelessness?
Actually it would make it all the more an "encryption" story given how hard these agencies push for breaking encryption with backdoors when apparently the old fashioned undercover agent model works just as well. Kinda hurts their cause.
I've come to the conclusion that they must think they can make more money off of bargain basement and dollar store sales than the impulse buy when new.
Imagine if when you saw a movie in the theater the "Groovy Movie™" app on your phone would tell you that it was available now to add to your account for $10.
Of course if your movie was Battlefield Earth............
My wife is a genealogist and of course I read here, so when people asked her about these services she would tell them no and explain that doing so was providing their DNA information (that may not be super accurate in the first place) to anyone that gained access. Law enforcement or hackers or anyone.
The responses?
I'm not worried they will protect it.
If it is breached I have nothing to hide.
She wold tell them not to do it, and they would go ahead anyway.
This AT&T strategy of planting Karl here for years as a double agent just goes to show the lengths they will go to to avoid actually providing a decent service to customers.

Re: Perspective on Starlink
Musk also was able to keep the automotive industry laughing at him long enough to gain an advantage.
I'm pretty sure he saw what happened to Google when they tried to disrupt the broadband industry.
Musk may well be enjoying and feeding the "It will never work" narrative because it allows him to keep building instead of litigating.

I agree and it is my belief that we need to start calling it something besides "prison system" or even "judicial system".
The best I have come up with is the criminal education system as that seems to be what it does best.
