I almost tried to shame my facebook friends and family about their "wrong articles" as I realized that FiveThirtyEight and Politico tabs I had open had been wrong as well.
It's all been clickbait and the hook was in my mouth too.
"Let me interrupt our prime-time streaming of 19 performances of free music stream to everyone for free around so I can tell you that people paying for music aren't paying enough"
So in the 90's we blocked the export of strong crypto to keep us safe, now the plan in the 2010's is to block the import of strong crypto? We're 180ยบ from where we started, but not in the direction we thought.
Let's try an empathy exercise with the NSA director: Would he be comfortable the NSA using an encryption method that allowed Congress to hold keys they promise will only be use legally?
Isn't this also about getting more inbound links from social media, to drive more traffic. While I agree with everything Karl says here, I think they want more traffic from facebook and twitter.
The problem with peeping-toms is that we keep finding out they exist. If we can just devise a program to help peeping-toms better cover their tracks no one has to know they're being stalked, and everyone will be okay.
At this point I have to think the directive was "Keep doing stuff to make this story as confusing as possible so the public won't be able to follow it"
I read 98% of the stories. I miss a few percentage points due to 1) every once in a while not having enough time or 2) Prada Law stories. I'm 100% sure the Prada Law stuff is super interesting but because of #1, I missed out on parts and had a hard time catching up on the confusing story.
I share stories when they explain viewpoints well. Vox has popularized "explainer journalism" but TechDirt has been doing it for years. I share something when I can say "Here is an example of why I think there are problems with copyright, or overvaluing ideas, or why all content is advertising, and on and on.
