Many schools in the Philippines teach English and it's a commonly used language in everyday life there. Outsourcing work to the Philippines as such isn't bad.
The problem with ASI is much more around how they seem to deal with problems, regardless of what part of the world the work is being done.
This is known as "dead agenting". Essentially, if you don't like the message, attack the messenger. It belies a certain hubris and disdain for things online that they believe they can get away with claiming sites like Ripoff Report are "racketeering".
A big part of the flaw is the idea of "the internet". The internet is not some massive computer with blinking lights sitting somewhere making R2D2-esque noises. It's a transmission mechanism between bazillions of tiny little digital fiefdoms (and a few massive ones). "Let's regulate the internet!" is about as coherent as saying "Let's regulate the sky!" Which sky? The sky over Wales? Over Germany? Over Somalia? Over Antarctica? How high up? How far down?
Actually, politician logic is quite internally consistent and cohesive. It just doesn't line up with what comes out of their mouth, which is a manipulation rather than an expression.
Cameron KNOWS his scheme won't work. He's not dumb. What he's counting on is that a significant portion of UK voters are dumb.
He wants this to be intrusive on the lives of normal people, it gives him "mindshare". "If you got this screen by searching for something innocuous please know that you and David Cameron are heroes who are stopping Child Exploitation!!"
Believing politicians are stupid is a VERY dangerous premise and they're counting on it.
The concern is "Little Big Planet 2 grants access to online user-authored content, some of which is vile". This is genuinely useful to parents. Unfortunately they don't discuss the distinction and therefore confuse rather than clarify, in order to make it seem like the sontent was authored by sony.
The thing about letters is that you can threaten anyone with anything. For example, I have a Klingon fleet waiting in orbit around Io and if you don't give me your bank PIN they're coming to getcha!
So Obama keeps going on in that video about how they have only "phone numbers without names attached to them". That's bullshit, reverse 411 is a publicly available service. It's trivial to resolve phone numbers to names.
I've seen that my explanation of my answer has caused some consternation, and wanted to clear the air. Of the one(1) answers given to the question, it was the least untruthful. It was also the most truthful and the least undernontruthlessly misdetruthed. I'm glad we had this opportunity to clear up any misunderstanding you may have had.
As always, my dear lady, you've got the right gist but failed to follow it through to its obvious moral and correct implications.
Sure, the AG could go after google, but what about the servers they use, the companies who manufacture the components in those serves, and indeed, copper.
Copper has been used in furtherance of ALL the most heinous cyber crimes, e-theft and counterfeit drug peddlings, online cyber-e-bullying, and cyber-e-online-internet-cybering. ALL OF THEM.
While my inference is incorrect technically and legally, morally, copper must go. Will you join me, sister, in this noble endeavour?
