You don't need to pull the plug on the entire country if crisis emerge. You just have to make it easy to pull the plug on said critical systems if they are under attack and at risk of being breached. No, no, this is just another lame excuse for a totalitarian state disguised as a democracy. I'm talking about Russia btw.
Sadly these agreements will plague the landscape for a while. The bright side is that the new agreements being pushed are facing severe opposition due to these abusive clauses. And the ones that eventually pass will be much better than the deals currently valid.
Just skip them. You are not forced to read. I agree with the other readers. I want to know when it happens and it should keep being written as a warning/reminder for us and to call out the BS of their policies.
ZOMFG AN ERECT PENIS! THE WORLD IS DOOMED TO BURN IN HELLISH FLAMES!
Ahem. Isn't it revealing because we as a society chose to treat sex and everything attached as some taboo instead of something natural in the first place?
They don't just censor the public posts. They actively scan their messenger as well for naughty bits. We have news that they were meddling with pirate-y links or things they don't like but not satisfied with it they are filtering nude images. A friend of mine was having a sexy chat with his girl and both tried sending naughty pics to each other. Their accounts were suspended with a message about site policies.
I've ditched Facebook messenger long ago and I'm in the process of getting rid of Facebook itself altogether. Mr Zuckeberg can go be the moral zealot of himself.
So Snowden just has to leak damning material about the Ds now that the Rs are in power and when the Ds get back in power he could leak bad stuff about the Rs. Problem solved!
Unfortunately, the way copyright works nowadays makes this pretty difficult. The MAFIAA inserted themselves between the public and culture with copyrights. This will be hard to get rid of...
"This is a significant step forward in our ability to recover the millions in damages "
I think he is mistaking copyright with libel. As far as I know only copyright works forever.
It is worrying to see the judge went as far as to make them spew his/her heirs identity. This is one of those cases that should get crowdfunding to go for appeals. It's complete insanity.
Silly question maybe but why we need TVs smarter than "display good quality image and that's it" when there are much better devices that can do everything the smartness can do with added security, comfort and reliability?
I'd gladly skip $100 or more to get a stripped down TV...
Sanity. You don't expect that often from Governments (Australia jokes aside!). Though we can expect most of the Government and the MAFIAA to promptly ignore this document regardless of how much facts are thrown in their faces.
Next in the news: Russians hacked presidential sMART tea kettle! Reports from the White House inform that the President was upset the tea was colder than it should and decided to throw nukes at Putin.
It's happening here too. The conflicts of interest and the corruption are harder and harder to hide so they are trying to gut the mechanisms that allow such (small) transparency. Actually, and other readers from other countries may help here, it's happening in much more places than we can see.

The tune is the same: you give us everything and get screwed in the process and ever after.
