  Waste of time by a waste of an organization

  on PEN America Sues Donald Trump For 1st Amendment Violations In Attacking The Press
  Why is Amazon's abuse of the postal system downplayed? The USPS is a great asset. If the rates may need to be moved inline to avoid losing money, there's no reason to not investigate.
  
  Related to USPS, the rates should be checked. China is making a fortune selling their junk of Ali(*) and paying nearly zero for postage.
  
  If someone was in my house, making up lies, I'd kick them out. They can stand on the street and 'report'.
  
  Why shouldn't the big tech companies be investigated? Sure, it's their platform, do as they please, but do it honestly. The hidden censoring is evident.

  It would be silly to not keep an eye of the groups

  on State Cops Accidentally Out Their Surveillance Of Anti-Police Groups With Browser Screenshot
  Why is it a surprise that the groups are under scrutiny? Sure, poor security in posting the bookmarks, but it would be foolish to not monitor them.

  Techdirt is going full /.

  on Cop Hits Woman's Car At 94 MPH, Killing Her Infant. Police Arrest Woman For Negligent Homicide.
  First, all fans of Pepe the Frog are racist. Now Techdirt totally leaves out the issue that the Mom left the kid to float around the car.
  
  The cop is still wrong, but damn this site is moderated by bullshit artists.

  The US already has a vehicle tracking system

  on China Is Building The Ultimate Surveillance Tool: A DNA Database Of Every Adult Resident In Troubled Xinjiang Region
  Cameras are being placed around the US with the purpose tracking vehicle locations. The transmitters we carry with us are already used to estimate commuting times which is calculated by location change correlated to the time difference. In the corporate world, if you use xfinitywifi, Comcast knows when you pass by any location they're using for "mobile wifi" a.k.a. tracking stations. The cell companies know generally where you are.
  
  China is bold and brazen with openly tracking, but it goes on in the US as well, just disguised as a convenience.
