That would be true if it was the airlines that were searching your bags, but it's not. It agents of the Federal government. Not saying you are right or wrong about the constitution applying just that because it is the government you by law can't sign away your rights.
When you want to hold yourself up as a standard...
you need to make sure that it is a standard that is good. the US has was once a an incredible example of true personal, individual freedom. Freedom in all things within basic boundaries of decent human behavior. But we have evolved in to a country trying to stifle innovation and force wrong ideas of protectionism on the world. We as a country created the network that would give rise to the greatest information distributional system the world has ever known. Why now can we not see that what we did (with warts and zits) is always going to be better than stopping the spread on information for whatever purpose!
Power breeds the need to control anything that could lessen your power.
that people are just plain now aware that each party is all about power. Each in their own way. Dem: "I will control you through your health care" Rep: " I will control you through fear of the great ENEMY"
Each just wants to make sure the have complete control and keep it long enough to get rid of those suggestions that they do right.
Sorry but not really they should have that option, they are paying for the hosting and bandwidth expenses. When you HOST your videos on any site it is allowed only because they expect to make some money on your videos or why would they allow it?
So you can go with the easy of youtube or set up and host your own videos. (Which I can tell you will get expensive.)
I agree that that is not good business but I can tell you from experience that if you had been generating 25,000 page views a day and 500 ad clicks they would have talked to you. So I think it is based on click through rates versus unique page views.
For example I had a website I did SEO/SEM for and they had around 178,000 avg unique page views a day. The website owner was happy about the traffic but he had to up his hosting plan 17 times in 9 months because of the traffic for a website not selling anything so he put a plea on his main page that people buy the products the ads were selling to help him pay for hosting. (He did this before I could tell him he could just put a "Donate" button on the site.) Google dropped his account, but after 8 or 9 emails to various people we got his account reinstated after removing the plea.
Lesson: Small websites you have no hope.
Big websites you can get it fixed.
Well that one statement is a huge violation of the terms and could explain in itself why he was cut off. Even the most brief mention that you are compensated for people clicking the ads is (IMHO) good grounds for cutting you off. Why? Because that is the most basic way people game the system.
I am a white seo of over 8 years experience and I can tell you in the early days we use to make allot of money for our clients by having them inform their loyal reader to click. That stopped after Google started to cut people off starting in 2003 or 04 (not sure).
Re: Re: The problem doesn't begin with the press...
The people that are most informed and most concerned are the ones that are most likely to leave a comment. The majority do not comment because they read and move on.
I voted you insightful because that is how it ALWAYS works. Government does not take control in an established country with the band-aid approach (rip it off fast) they kill you softly. Or better said; they have you give up a bit of freedom because they say it is necessary to provide you allot of security.
it begins with the people. The people of this country are too quick to let government decide what is best for them. This is just another example what they are willing to give up to feel a bit safer. I am surprised everyday with how dumb and oblivious most american people are to the important things.
As long as they can see their favorite show and take a week vacation every year and drive a new car they could careless.
I have worked to get my wife whom I love to see the crap that is going on and she is now more aware. She is a liberal and voted for Obama, but even she was up-in-arms after hearing about the crazy level they are going to in the airports. She said "Isn't that unlawful search and seizure? They are treating us as guilty first!"
The stupid Homeland Security Act was passed by Bush during a time of great anger and fear, but I had hoped that Obama quietly, in the background would soften the implementation of it. He only made it worse.
I am sad because we are going to become a police state and no one with notice.
