You people have been crying that civilization is on the brink of collapse since the 1950s. Communism, civil rights, drugs, whatever, you've always got something to claim is "ruining" things and demand the most violent response possible.
Look at the protests in Myanmar, people getting shot in the streets. Who's hiding and who's fighting out in the open? It's the military generals hiding behind the anonymity of the state, using the police and military forces to suppress the public.
What are you smoking? There's nothing anonymous about the coup in Myanmar, the military is brazenly attacking people out in the open. The generals are known. You're not making a coherent argument, you're just spouting "encryption bad."
They were also carrying the Korean flag, for some damn reason. What's your point? Does carrying a flag somehow make it impossible for them to be insurrectionists?
You're claiming women "often" provoke men, so the women can claim to be victims... but these same women also cover up when the man beats his kids. This is supposed to be any kind of reasonable argument?
A) Claiming that women "often" try to provoke abuse to claim victimhood is just laughably stupid.
B) In both your scenarios, the man is an abusive asshole. He's beating a woman (provocation or not) and beating his kids!
It's a red herring trotted out by misogynists to try and portray men as victims. The Selective Service System does legally require all men to register at age 18, but no one has been prosecuted for failure to register since the 1980s. Certain states have laws which tie financial aid (Federal loans, grants, etc.) to registration. Some states auto-register you when you apply for a driver's license.

Re: Re: So your key assertion of "First Amendment rights&qu
... you do realize this is not a "search" as per the 4th Amendment, right? It's an order to give information, which hinges on the companies in question complying (or not). There aren't FTC agents going into offices & combing through file cabinets or server entries.
The entire thrust of your argument falls apart because you don't understand what's happening here.
But peacekeeping and law enforcement duties operate according to entirely different rules of engagement and as such resorting to methods that would be regarded in warfare as war crimes is ordinary.
I think the point is that it shouldn't be considered ordinary. The fact we do consider it ordinary is disturbing. Hence the call for at least some form of Rules of Engagement for law enforcement. Maybe not the same ones as our military, but something to move us away from this constant barrage of police misconduct we're experiencing right now.
