Not really. In this specific case it did, but for any other dev the results are not reproducible without an element of luck.
If you're going to rely on luck, you'll have better odds playing poker, not in hoping you get sufficient media coverage and community outrage to protect your intellectual property.
Then the po-po will simply make up alleged stops whereby "no law enforcement action was taken", but you can bet your last dollar that the race listed on the form for that made-up stop will be "White".
And voila, two problems solved with one stroke.
This. Ask any former or current military servicemember how Malicious Compliance works and you'll see where this is headed.
Big Telecom (is there any other kind?) are so focused on protecting their profits in the short term, they fail to see what will happen if they improve service.
Remember when the movie industry fought so hard against VCRs? After they lost the Betamax case, Video sales went through the roof and in some cases exceeded profits the movies made in theaters.
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Just like how Sony vs. Betamax ushered in an era of increased profits that lead to our current expanse (for good or ill) of streaming services, if copyright was dialed back to the original level of 11 years, the amount of true competition in the marketplace for ideas would explode.
Imagine how many fanfic versions of whatever work would increase interest or revitalize a dying work? Can you imagine being able to watch Space: 2999 or Pulp Non-Fiction or The Stinger ...?
I just don't understand getting upset at these specific actions,
It is because IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
If folks are not breaking the law, the cops need to leave them the frik alone. They do not have the right to pre-crime them, to harrass them, to record them, or to do anything else except uphold the law.
If they are unable to stay in their lane then a) they have too much $$$ and need their budgets reduced to a level consistent with carrying out their purpose and nothing more, and/or b) they are rife with bad actors and need some serious bleach and scrubbing.
By saying “I have nothing to hide,” you are saying that it’s OK for the government to infringe on the rights of potentially millions of your fellow Americans, possibly ruining their lives in the process. To me, the “I have nothing to hide” argument basically equates to “I don’t care what happens, so long as it doesn’t happen to me.”
Note to self: NEVER RENT FROM HERTZ if I ever go back to traveling for business again, but probably not because this work from home and not wearing shoes thing is pretty sweet okay thanks byyyyyyeee!!!
If we take "center" to be what the majority of US voters want,
Nah, Center is the middle ground between capital and labor, between the 99% and the 1%, and between corporations and People Who Work For A Living.
Left is where most informed voters are -- where the government provides services that benefit the majority of citizens, such as utilities, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and preventing corporate exploitation
Right is where the rich and their uneducated rubes live - reduce or eliminate taxes on companies and the rich and remove all barriers to profit (even at the expense of their workers' health and safety, the environment or the rest of the country)
The Dem party is slightly right of center (thanks to their majority corporate-owned politicians) and the Repubs are so far right you'd need the Hubble to find them.
You know if you asked these brokers/companies how they specifically anonymized the data, you would be a) ignored, b) lied to or c) denied due to 'trade secrets'
If nothing else, I'd like to know how a data set is anonymized, what data fields are in the set and to be able to see my own 'anonymized' data records.
