By saying that, do you realize how easy it would be for one person to turn every innocent person into a criminal. Setup an anonymous email account and send an email with an illegal picture to every email out there. If he were found guilty, that would have set an extremely dangerous precedent.
a while back, there was a case of a school principle having child porn on his phone. The media sensationalized it. Investigators found and recovered child porn that was deleted on the day it was received. Eventually it was discovered that a student had sent the images and then reported the principle anonymously. Charges were dropped against the principle and the student who sent them was charged with possession and distribution of child porn. Unfortunately the media and internet community presumed him guilty. This destroyed his reputation and he had to find a different career.
I don't care what the rules are. I'll still buy discs and rip their content with functional software. As long as you don't share your videos, you won't appear on their radar.
Welcome to the analog hole. Blue-ray and HDMI was the answer to that. From player to viewer, it maintains an encrypted digital signal. Better known as HDCP.
The possessors may say we will only use it for this, but history has shown every such promise to be broken. Plus, if the key to the backdoor falls into malicious hands, its all over for security.
The rules here in Texas have changed to make things fair for those caught violating traffic laws. However, during early implementation it was a lose-lose situation for the people. Especially in Duncanville, TX. If you were caught by the traffic cam, it was a $75 fine. If you wished to challenge the claim, it would cost $75 to subpoena the traffic cam company to release the video to challenge in court. If you lose, that’s $150. If you win, you still had to pay the $75 for the subpoena. So either way, you lost.
As a counter-strike, block all Brazil IP addresses from Facebook. Attempts of their citizen to reach Facebook, redirect to a site stating if you want Facebook back, protest to your government to release our employee. When the employee is released, we will unblock your country from Facebook.
And like with the Google case mentioned above. Threaten Italy that if you do not release our employees, we will cut off your country from all Google and Google owned services. (no gmail. Oh! and all that stuff your kept on Google Drive, it is blocked.)
and that unsecured database becomes a new target for hackers working for the drug dealers. Search the database for informants, put a price on their head, and quickly locate them since they had to enter their personal info.
Depending on the outcome, I can see this leading to a mass migration to open-source encryption such as Veracrypt and CipherShed. Each is an improved spin-off from truecrypt.
