I think you’re missing something here. Conspiracy is always performed by doing legal things. You can commit conspiracy just by talking to someone, yet we don’t complain that charges infringe on our right to speech.
Conspiracy is a hard charge to make stick precisely for this reason.
It's a pity DeRogatis won't out the publications avoiding this story. If they are doing so because of the cost of losing a lawsuit then the solution is to make it more expensive to avoid these types of stories. That means voting with our wallets/clicks and tying this behaviour to reputation.
I realize we can't expect logic from a buffoon such as Trump but it doesn't take much to realize that if you want to run "a law and order administration" that you need MORE control over the police, not less.
Law and order must start with the people who enforce it - if they will not follow the law then why should anyone else?
This should be non-partisan. Even if you feel that the government should be imposing less regulation on society you have to admit that proper enforcement of what regulation there is requires a fully compliant force. Giving them more latitude doesn't help anyone.
Trump: "One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community."
You: "Fake rights are the language of the left looking to expand the government at the expense of the citizen."
Your interpretation is nonsensical. Trump (who I doubt has ever been accused of being a lefty) is clearly using this language to justify scaling back government regulation over the police.
While I agree with th sentiment here I don't think it serves us to focus on details such as ease of use or lack thereof. While that definitely impacts the number of people using strong encryption today that certainly won't always be the case.
I think the most salient point we can make is that there is no end to methods of encryption. If we legislate or weaken one type, people will use another. That is true now and it will be true long after your corrupt government has fallen.

Streisand much? Rather that drawing attention to the fact that any idiot with a drone can do surveying, shut up and hope no one notices.
First Amendment seems like a stretch but last time I checked photography from any altitude was fair game.

Wrong title
The title is not correct. The bulbs have the same functionality they always did.
Still it's lame Phillips has decided to "focus" on the newer device, as if tweaking the codebase for the old one would be that onerous.

Re: Re: Actually
That isn't a counterargument to Wikipedia being effective moderation at scale. It is, despite the occasional skirmish.

And then tell people to side load apps made by whoever that haven't been checked with Google's scanner (assuming they use Android)?
That solution may be easy, but it isn't good.
