They have absolutely a longer record. Sessions seems to be threatening to make it _worse_. Why do we always have to play tu quoque whenever something new is reported. As if we were unaware, or excused someone else while pointing new or heightened threats or activity?
The Dead has got to be the most bootlegged band ever, and they didn't complain about it (or not enough to really notice). People recorded shows (illegal copies!) and passed tapes around (p2p) or outright pressed vinyl and sold it (actual piracy!).
Go follow ten million people in an afternoon and let us know how you make out.
The internet is a public place, but companies bulk harvesting data are essentially going through your pockets and then removing you name from the generated report of the contents and claim that is anonymous.
None of this is the same as following an individual around meatspace or the internet. (Never mind that what your car or appliances or what have do is not "the internet".) Repeated claims of anonymization, when those claims are complete bunk, is rather more the point. When you go following someone around, and say, report your gathered intel to another party, merely without the subjects name, and claim that is anonymous, would you be telling the truth? (And not a merely technical truth-flavoured thing.)
Trying to imagine how Georgia can afford or justify or actually operate tens of thousands of cameras. With or without FR. What sort of person thinks this is a good idea at all?
We have complained before that the Patent Office seems to operate in an alternative universe where only patents provide evidence of the state of the art in software.
That's the universe where patents, and only patents, are innovation. We know this place.

Yeah, but one oughtn't run around announcing how unaware they are when it is both their privilege and job to be aware of such things. Not only does it reflect poorly on him, but the excuse is worse than not offering one at all.
Or maybe they think he has some similarity to Klaus von Bülow somehow. (Or perhaps Sunny?)Either way, it would appear to be a version that takes place in the New World Order universe.
I think a lot of people, including lots of police, and legislators, see it this way also. (Including the police who are actually owned by someone, and who get really pissy and whiny about it when they are caught and actually made to face some consequences.)
