Yes, I would. Why? Because it is a PROTECTED FIRST AMENDMENT THING, and many businesses have tried doing what you describe.... and gotten POUNDED IN THE ASS WITH A SPIKED STICK by local laws, forbidding that stuff, unless someone LIES about the work conditions.
To be blunt, we need less protection of the businesses.... and more of the worker, who has INFINITELY less power than ANY Wal-Mart or Sears.
Not a pretty extreme ruling. Imagine: a boss puts comments that are not from you on your Facebook page or elsewhere by stealing your identity.
This is this organization trying to head off people being fired for having LEGITIMATE GRIPES WITH and or VENTING about their business at home or online.
To DOM.... no, it is NOT that simple, to be blunt. File a complaint through your HR department? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That's even more asking to be fired!
The fact is that it is time for these companies to realize that if you have unhappy employees.... YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!
Whether you find out about that through a lawsuit or through Facebook doesn't matter!
Personally, there are some times when the press should NOT be allowed to write any story they wish. In a case like this, where it is clearly about smearing a person, the story should not be written in the first place.
Not to MENTION that the harm from a WRONG STORY or FRAUDULENTLY WRITTEN story can ruin a person's life! I'm thinking that all countries in the WORLD should have this, along with stronger slander and libel law that basically say that if a story doesn't have a LEGITIMATE PUBLIC PURPOSE (exposed someone's secret sex fantasies does not) that the press can be forbidden to write about that.
I would have to disagree about the 'appearance of corruption' thing. The fact is that ANYTHING can be taken as 'evidence of corruption' today or 'appearance of corruption'.
That alone does not harm representative government in the slightest, there are A L W A Y S going to be times when something an official does 'appears to be corruption' if we adhere to reality if they vote on anything.
We need to stop focusing on the APPEARANCE of corruption, and more on ACTUAL PROVEN CORRUPTION!
These things are not on invasive, they are unsafe AND go against the Fourth Amendment, which bans all searches without due cause and process... meaning, without a warrant.
It doesn't matter if you are using a PRIVATE service or not, there is simply no justification for these searches. I would have been much happier if they would have focused on securing the cockpit with bulletproof doors and doing nothing else.
Personally, I go by the thinking that if the kid is interested in and enters words like sex, pornography, etc.... they get what they are looking for!
I don't bother to put any internet filters on my computer AND I don't bother putting them on anyone else's computers. In fact, I tell the parents who I fix computers for that they are a waste of time, because in ten minutes or with a proxy, you can get around these filters.
Wikileaks, even if they were put on these lists, wouldn't be a terrorist organization and would have a golden ticket to a lawsuit against the government, which if the courts reviewed some OTHER terrorist organization deemings.... might overturn those as well.
All anyone has to do is use encryption on .rar files downloaded from Hotfile, Fileshare, etc.... unable to be tracked, period.
Also, just use HTTPS on websites that are 'iffy'... no monitoring can get through that, that I know of!
HADOPI is a waste of time, money and energy.... unfortunately, the corporations have bullied France into adopting it through "WE WILL PULL OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY UNLESS YOU DO THIS!"
I'd really like to see a country call their bluff (it's a shallow bluff) and tell them "Fine, leave! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
The corporations wouldn't leave... they are making too much money even with their 'losses' from piracy.
Well, the Mythbusters guy already went through one of these machines with 12 inch STEEL knives, so.... I don't think that they are very good in the slightest.
It's time to realize that all of this stuff is SECURITY THEATER and is not necessary to protect us. Focus on keeping people from getting into the cockpit of the plane by reinforcing the door very well/never having to have the pilot come out of the cockpit (put a bathroom in the cockpit, as well as meal services for long flights) and move on!
Terrorists are not a real danger today. In 100 years, they have been able to kill a grand total of 5K people.... less than 1/10th to 1/20th of those killed EVERY SINGLE YEAR by car accidents ALONE in the United States.
It's time to stop making these mass-murderers under a more terrifying name out to be more of a 'danger' than they actually are/were ever.
I'm more worried about my right to not be treated like a criminal to use a service that I PAY FOR going down the drain for no good reason.
Actually, by INTERNATIONAL law, the place where the people in question live IS a consideration. Even if a company has a presence in a foreign country, another country can sidestep those laws of their home country and ask for information about someone who is in ANOTHER country without good reason.
Doesn't seem like a stretch to me about the EU privacy directive, to be blunt.... not ALL of Twitter's servers are based in the United States, or am I wrong on that?
No, it doesn't. The fact is that doing those things steps over the line, IP law or not. We just have to get some judges who are willing to take a stand and put the hammer down on the idiots who argue that IP law allows you to do those things.
It's also not referring to the right argument. With a WOW hack, you can use it to:
1. Play without paying your monthly tithe.
2. Cheat in the game (though without PvP, I don't see where that is a problem).
3. Potentially bring down the servers if they don't like something that your crack is feeding them.
I don't see where any of those arguments is valid here.
I would say otherwise. The fact is that pre-trial confinement is usually limited by judges to ONLY cases where a physical danger to someone else could be argued, like letting a suspected murderer out of jail/prison while on bail while awaiting trial.
