Re: Re: Honesty
Wait, the dementors seem to have their act together. The do what they are meant to do and no one has any disillusions as to what that might be. But I really don't think they stand for elections, so that might ruin their standing as politicians, no matter how much they resemble some of those.

Hmm. From that Wikipedia article 20,000 Emu's and they sent Two Lewis guns with 10,000 rounds of ammunition. Sounds like typical closed minded government perspective, sorta like this police chief.

Get what you give
That 'authoritay' folks fail to understand that in order to get respect, one needs to give respect, is not surprising. From their perspective, everyone is under their thumb...or should be.
When looking down your nose at everyone, and expecting that they don't look down theirs back at you seems to simulate the act of some long necked birds. Sticking one's head in the sand.

Without adjudication, and even sometimes with adjudication, the truth of an accusation has no meaning. After all, Prenda got away with accusations...until they didn't. Now some of them are in jail.

You are hereby accused of copyright infringement. Why do you need evidence, you have been accused?
Please report to your ISP and have yourself disconnected from the Internet. Then notify all other ISP's that you have been accused and deserve no Internet connection. Then tell all the libraries and coffee shops and other public Internet connections within a 300 mile radius of your residence that you have been banned from the Internet. Don't forget to notify your friends and neighbors that you cannot use their Internet connections either. Maybe you should notify your enemies as well.

Duplicate posts also happen when once submit is clicked and the next page fails (for whatever reason, it could be my connection rather than your servers), one clicks submits again (the first click seems to be recorded somehow, and followed through on). I figured this out some time ago, and no longer click submit again.

Re: This is also a security/privacy issue
Actually this is a really good point. Given the proclivity of Best Buy repair people searching through computers and turning people over to law enforcement, what would stop anyone 'repairing' anything that has computer related components from searching through...well everything. Can you encrypt your car? Can you encrypt your tractor? Oh, and this doesn't apply merely to manufacturers doing repairs, it applies to third party repair shops as well.

Seems to me that humans are causing social media problems, not tech companies, yet May wants the tech companies to fix the problem. How are tech companies going to fix humans?
OK, I do get it, May really just want's the problems hidden, not fixed.

Limitations in an anti limitation bill
That bill from Washington seems to be limited to just electronics. Why didn't they make it all encompassing? Manufacturers may not limit purchasers choices for repair, or something legalistic that says the same thing?

It certainly appears that the Teamsters are taking on attributes of the companies they negotiate with. The next quarter is important, and that think is preventing them from seeing beyond that.
The question I have is that corporations do so with the impetus of Wall Street, what are the Teamsters excuses?

Re: Re: To answer part of the question
Getting their hands on the decryption software would likely be one of their priorities. Then they could engage their 'evidence laundering' procedures, and likely a bit of blackmail, without 'courts knowing about it.
Getting their hands on a decrypted copy of everything on a device would not prevent them from their fishing.
One thing I have long wondered about is that when a search warrant is issued for some specific targets(s) when searching a device, what prevents them from searching everything anyway? That things are not presented as evidence (within the confines of the warrant) doesn't mean they didn't see everything.
