Once again, our government is showing it's true colors by revealing that it believes the Constitution to be nothing more than something that interferes with it governing.
Newsflash...that's exactly what the Constitution is supposed to do.
I womder if this is their version of being "responsible".
Explain to me again why we need to weaken encryption if the government hoards vulnerabilities...maybe they should just try using their existing collection first before demanding tech companies harm everyone.
Option A) try to convince a couple hundred of Congressmen, 45-60min plus Senators and the President to pass SOPA/PIPA type laws and have to deal with the public backlash or;

I find May's and Macron's comments to be inflammatory and radicalized. Since these comments are online I demand that tech companies nerd harder to remove all their inflammatory and radical comments from the Internet.
After all, we must think of the children and protect them from these types of radicals so that they don't become radicalized themselves. No parent should have to raise a child to be a technically inept politician.
"They just wanted to tell as few patients as possible that their data had been breached to save face."
Should have thought about saving face before they fired off legal threat letters. A lot of people are willing to forgive the incident, but not many are willing to forgive the cover up.
