Hypocrisy much? Where's your evidence that this law will actually protect children? It's certainly not coming from those actually involved in protecting children, who've publicly stated this is a terrible idea.

"It's used as a censorship tool here..."
Then it's an extraordinarily ineffective one, because everybody can very easily see everything you post. It's like you don't actually know what the word even means.
"...and everyone knows it."
When that's your best attempt at proof you know your claim fails badly.
"Get all the facts before publishing crap like this."
I notice you haven't actually disputed any facts or pointed out any that are missing. You seem to have missed the point of the article.
"And I don't see a single Tesla owner here agreeing with you."
Because Tesla owners are the authority here? Get real. This is a much bigger issue than one product, it applies to anything that can be remotely updated (or degraded) by the manufacturer.
But since we're talking about the same battery whether you have a 60 or a 75, it takes the same time to reach the same level of charge in either. The 75 just lets you have more if you want it by charging for longer. So no, it's not even a little deal.
The point here is that new technology does provide opportunities for new products, services, and business model, but it can also be terrifying. That's always been true, and both sides should always be discussed.
"Being the owner of a Tesla I can tell you that you have final say on any updates that the car runs. They can push an update to your car, but you have to actully select "Yes" for the car to run the update."
And all you can do is trust that that's actually true, because you have no way of knowing/proving otherwise. It's not like other companies haven't been caught out doing something they said they weren't.
*"This is not something that happens when your driving down the road as it can take a few hours depending on the update."
They know when you're not driving down the road...
"I would say that all electric cars that uses modern batteries limits the capacity and there is a very good reason for limiting the battery capacity you can use."
That's not the issue here though, as these are exactly the same batteries used in more expensive models that give you more capacity. This is a marketing issue, not an engineering one.
"His use of the DMCA is to make a counterpoint to PewDiePie's wonderful "point". It doesn't matter if the DMCA is successful."
Nor does it matter if use of the DMCA is unsuccessful, it still shouldn't be abused for non-copyright performances. Look at the bigger picture and see how this is just another example of the problem that needs to be stopped, not justified because you think it's okay in this case.
"Your rage comes off as being in support of PewDiePie rather than in opposition to Sean Vanaman."
And your comment comes off as being completely from your imagination. Literally nothing in the comment implies that.
"False speech is not protected by the Constitution..."
Actually in some cases it is, as any competent lawyer should know.
"False speech does harm to readers, who are misled by it; it does harm to journalism, which is weakened by it; and it does harm to the subjects of the speech, whose reputations and careers are damaged by it."
On this I think we all totally agree. I think we can probably also agree that knowingly making false accusations can also do a lot of damage to journalism, reputations and careers, and anybody who makes them should be firmly slapped down both legally and financially.
That's the stinkiest load of BS I've read in ages. Any 'fear' you have about posting here is entirely manufactured so you can attempt to make yourself out as some sort of victim. Get over yourself.
Grossly overcharge for a service so bad you get sued, even while knowing that high quality free streams will happen, and yet we're the ones you call fools.

Mostly agree with you, but this barely deserves to be called a benefit. That's like ordering a smaller drink so you'll get it faster.
