That's probably because the rampant unchecked infringement isn't noticeable without a cadre of loud whiners constantly proclaiming how much it hurts someone* with roughly zero evidence in their favor to back up that assertion.
*Which includes speaking for many other creators who don't buy this load of bafflegab.
I would hazard a guess that the reason they need to force Google to do this (reasonably or not, on its face), is that they are already engaging in parallel construction.
On the one hand, she needs to do nothing more than send back the portion of data she received from Kromtech. Hardly an effort.
On the other hand, all this does is show what data (or a subset thereof) security researchers had, which is pretty pointless.
If they really want a number, they can fairly well guess within a range from the size of the data originally downloaded. But the real point is, their entire db and who knows what else, was exposed. They need to be concerned about other parties who may have found this and copied more than a sample of the db. Funny their internal filesystem hasn't kept notes.
I think people flag posts so they won't be bored to death if they return to read the thread several times. It's also a form of voting. Anyone may yet view it and reply, and do so.
Suggesting it's a "slogan" to worry how limited broadband competition leads to this kind of anti-competitive behavior is about as reasonable as suggesting that not wanting to be punched in the jaw is a "jingle." It makes no coherent sense.
High QoS assurance for critical things must be completely conflated with double dipping, charging everyone far too much already, expanding or improving networks and POP and exchanges, or not, lighting the crapton of dark fiber already in existence or not, fighting with non-consumer providers or buying them, collusion, monopoly, refusing to abide by contracts and apply subsidies where they were meant to go for twenty to thirty-five years...
Don't hurt consumers by making companies play fair even a teeny tiny widdiw bit. You some kind of communist?
Vote for no one! The government will be emptied! Or what, 10,000 write-in candidates, most of whom don't know they have been volunteered?
Haha. 1776. Bullshit. They were mostly the same. The revolution was for the local wealthy to have more control. Pff, lower import duties on tea, will you.
Maybe the ISPs will assist the EFF then with its fight for net neutrality.
Gakk. I think i broke something inside me.
he FBI established procedures under which a record keeping system generates reminders—when an NSL investigation closes or reaches the three-year anniversary of its initiation—that the gag order should be reviewed for possible termination.
This is the sort of thing which should automatically terminate unless they can provide a very good reason, per case, that it should be extended, for how long, and why.
Oh for Pete's sake. I forgot to check the box again. Could we not at least have a Use Markdown pref along with the other lovely prefs in our account settings?
_It's a way for May and her colleagues to try to pin the blame on "something else" rather than to admit that they don't appear to have a real strategy or plan for almost anything._
The thing of it is: _Shit Happens._ There is no way to stop everything, particularly something as simple as people with cars and knives. Pretending that you can stop it, or find out in advance, by taking more powers and removing rights, is beyond absurd. _It has never worked yet._ One does not even have to think this out critically, we have a wealth of history on these things. We do know all the downsides already, as well.
Some people are just determined to do _something_ (or claim to want to do something as an excuse), no matter how ineffectual or counterproductive.
I wonder where "wouldn't you protect your family" guy is today.
