In the United States? Probably never. Have a look at Facebooks Terms of Service. If you use the service, you give them a license to use the information you provide for pursuant to the privacy settings that you set. That handles privacy laws.
Concerning identity theft laws, as long as Facebook doesn't try to act as you (in a way that you didn't authorize in the ToS, for example, FB showing one of your friends your picture with an ad for a product whose page you "Liked") and as long as they try to keep your data out of the hands of unauthorized persons then Facebook isn't committing identity theft either.
I saved the easiest one for last. The 4th Amendment's provision against illegal search and seizure only applies to the government. Facebook couldn't break it if they tried. Choosing to comply with a government request isn't a violation on their behalf, if anything, (and that's a big if) it would be a violation by the government agency that made the request.
In the EU on the other hand...I don't know as much about the law there but, I have the feeling that the EU is currently in the middle of swinging the pendulum so far towards personal privacy that non-EU public governmental knowledgebases are already being harmed. In that case, Facebook may be in for a bit of a rough time over there.
Would that be legal under existing antitrust law? I don't think that American antitrust law has any provisions for the dissolution of a corporate charter for much short of defrauding its shareholders or egregious lies in SEC filings. I'm only a broker (by licensing though I don't do it full time), not a corporate lawyer so, I might be missing something.
When I was in eighth grade, there were a number of propositions on the ballot in my state and in our US History class we each got assigned one of them to argue either for or against. With a law like this that type of class assignment wouldn't be legal.
I'm pretty sure that anyone could write a simple Tasker app to do this on Android but... the destruction of evidence has pretty harsh penalties too. Although, it wouldn't lead to an indefinite time in jail.
I've never quite understood that. You aren't living in the US, so you aren't using the vast majority of the services provided by American citizenship but our government still taxes you? How does that make sense? I hope that similar to deductions of state income tax, you can deduct whatever you pay in taxes to your country of residence.
Not at all. I don't know if you've ever heard of the term "in loco parentis" but, it means that the school acts in the place of the parents/legal guardians while the child is at school. There are limits to this power but, it generally allows the school to act in the child's best interests as they see them.
Asking where a student was during a scheduled detention period is well within that power although my school district would have probably just suspended the student pending a meeting with his or her parents (my district called that closing their classes since it doesn't become a three-day suspension unless they didn't bring a parent the next school day) at that point.
Re: Door open to hallway makes the conversation "public".
Unfortunately, as the article points out, recordings in public areas still aren't legal unless you have permission from all recorded parties. This is something that has to be worked out by the state legislature. All I know is that if this happened to any of my family members in Illinois, there'd be some issues.
That's not a problem anymore, in fact, I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the article. Fane Lozeman is the only man alive to have taken two cases to the Supreme Court as the plaintiff and not a lawyer and won. The first one was his original eminent domain case which started in 2006 and which he won (in a phyric victory given the fact that it had already been seized and destroyed) in 2013. In November 2006, while the first case was winding through the courts, is when this arrest occurred triggering this case which he has apparently also now (partially, at least) won.
Re: Re: 'Hello fellow drug users who are, like me, not cops!'
The knife in a school got him arrested and placed on probation, while on probation he was caught with marijuana and Xanax. That's what led to all the rest of the crap. Even if it's small, you can't have a knife at a school, it's considered a weapon now.
Secondly, Copyright Strikes on YouTube are all automated. You can't get a manual copyright strike.
All you have to do is look for it and you'll find evidence of neutral algorithms pissing-off humans across the political spectrum.
As an aside, why do you still post here? I think this is the first time I've had something to directly contribute to you so, this is the first time I've replied to you but, I don't think I'd regularly comment in a forum where my opinion was clearly unwanted.
There's sounding an alarm and there's looking deranged and I think you've crossed that line. At this point, I feel that you are either trolling or are seriously suffering from some sort of paranoia. A friend of mine from high school just got out of a psych ward after shooting up his neighbor's house due to paranoia. If that's the case with you, you should get this checked out before you do something more than rant on the internet.
How Realistic Is It For All Congresspeople to be Fully Informed?
While I would love for my elected officials to be completely knowledgeable about everything they vote on, that's unreasonable. The reasonable thing is for elected officials to have, at a minimum, a well-rounded general education, a good knowledge of what their position does (and doesn't) allow them to do, an open mind to allow expert opinions to inform their decisions, and most importantly excellent critical thinking skills.
Given the number of issues that our politicians face annually, it's simply not possible for them to be fully informed about all of them. The best they can do is hire people who do know what they're talking about and themselves be intelligent enough to separate the data from the opinions to make informed decisions.
Remember, the fact that everyone can't be fully informed is one of the reasons that pure capitalism doesn't actually work in the real world.
I don't know that it would eliminate competition. All a small publisher would have to do is set up a mirror of their EU site on another domain hosted outside of the EU and they'd still be indexed as normal. That's what I'd do, web-hosting isn't that expensive and it makes for a nice offsite (off-continent?) backup just in case of an emergency with the EU-based site.
If passed, I'm guessing that there'll be a waiting period before this law goes into effect just as there was with the GDPR, even if it's much shorter. That should be enough time for everyone to get their mirrors in order. I'll be ready with my popcorn ^_^
Most of the estimates I've read put that number around 10-12 billion and the UN predictions I've read have the human population plateauing at around 10 billion later this century. We should be fine.
I thought that the TWRP recovery had fixed the issue that didn't allow it to access encrypted partitions by now. Have they not? I've been considering rooting my Essential PH-1 after the Oreo update and if I can't perform a full Nandroid backup because of the encryption, that makes it a bit more dangerous to play around with ROM's.
