Criminal facilitation is generally offering substantial or significant assistance in committing a felony.
If that is so clear, then we don't need SESTA whatsoever, and it is merely another waste of time and money "we're doing something" law, like phoning/texting while driving laws, and should be opposed on those counts, if no others. It is plainly obvious criminal facilitation is already prosecutable, the shining example being the issue which started all of this.
Sex trafficking: Pretty sure Ninja means what SESTA promoters keep banging on about when throwing examples around - people held captive by one method or other and forced one way or other to provide sex services. But certainly, this is a central problem with the law, both conceptually and particularly as written, that proponents slide from one definition to another as is convenient, and conflating all definitions in the spectrum to confuse everyone. Sometimes it is sloppy thinking, and sometimes it must be done quite deliberately.
It's funny watching who goes on about bias the most.
This is actually a result of a twofold problem. One part is as stated in the post. The other part is the prior mistake of giving equal weight to well considered and explicated opinions or facts, and repetitive, loud, and illucid whingeing and pontificating. (Not to say that those with less ability to express themselves necessarily don't have valid ideas or experience.)
LMAO. I only saw one ME system ever, and it didn't last long in that setup. Now I am frightened.
But actually i wasn't thinking in terms of Minix being bad, it's just Intel's behavior. I've been a bit of an admirer of Minix for years, and play around with it occasionally. I think i still have 3.1.2 alpha on CDs somewhere, as those were convenient for storage when that was released.
Maybe Intel should cough up that USB support back upstream, if it is implemented in the OS code.
You aren't allowed to discuss something more than a day after it happens. And then you will be condemned for having the memory and attention span of a news cycle.
I never much cared for the supposed "corporate management" features, but this is absurd. Never mind that as consumers, we pay for the hardware and its development. Thanks for all the sneaky BS and the lovely attack surface, Intel.
I will believe it has anything to do with patching security holes when i see it.
The general security problems with these sorts of devices are that they are IoT for no readily discernible reason in the first place (other than slurping your information and behavioral data), so one can secure them by not making them internet-connected. If someone really needs to turn on their TV while they are 500 miles away, give them that as an extra option instead of a main functionality, and don't require the traffic go to a company server - there is zero need for that.
Another problem is that the code and settings should not be so laughably poor that a ridiculous little device could ever require so many software patches in the first place.
But the thing is, the number of IoT devices receiving security patches is laughably small, so claiming that as a reason for product EOL (literally, EOL), requires some evidence first and reasons why a patch or other fix is impossible next.
