It's super simple and dead obvious why news agencies are scared to report on the inefficiencies:
they're afraid of the impact of pissing off the ISP's as the ISP's have continued to grow (and in many cases, control many media sources). So they do nothing because of course they won't.
This is a bit overblown. You throw a lot of stuff together that aren't necessarily linked. The problem at it's core, is people willingly or coincidentally, entirely missing what's happening in a situation and yet trying to regulate it anyway.
Thus, the problem isn't the regulation or a lack thereof, but the heavy-handed results.
Abdictating the regulation to "parent better" isn't really an answer to the situation either.
All of this basically ignores that Facebook could do better. It's not just that people need to do better themselves as well, and the one is not mutually exclusive of the other.
Oh man! how will we survive! We've only had tv signals going through walls for an entire century now and cellphone signals going through walls for a few decades, and wifi for a few decades. Clearly this is all scary and too new for us!
For people who are solarwinds users, such as myself. Our install is also cut off from the internet until the patch is released. There's a whole reddit discussion and alternative channels if people look around.
Things like this have reminded me why I vowed to never spend another penny that can ever go to contributing to RIAA/MPAA wallets ever again. Either I get things third party or I get them from independent musicians/artists/actors who have no association. The only thing the RIAA/MPAA has done to society over the years is a significant number of bad things, ranging from getting people to not share ideas due to copyright, to believing false information from movie magic.
They already do drive tests for their own engineering and also customer complaints. So for them to say it's too expensive is rich when they should already have data.

I think you missed the r in grifts
The why here isn't a question

Re: Hard to undermine something that's been burned to the ground
it's like the qualified immunity logic.
Was there a letter somewhere that said they shouldn't have done that? whoops.
meanwhile, patent trolls probably double their efforts after this
Re: Wil Congress ever learn?
exactly, it's a clear distraction from addressing the problem at hand.
Are they afraid?
To me, this reads like a distinct possibility that the consortium is fearful of facebook/losing traffic to facebook.

Re: Encryption?
massively.
They barely do anything to prevent sim swaps, so people with crypto are freaking out.
Re: And the big question is: WHY does minion go round on this AG
So you're saying the only evidence you will accept is that which supports your viewpoint?
Why do you even post then?

Re: So how do you explain the Havanna embassy incidents?
you're going to have to pursue actual science here, not quote a theory with no supporting information.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Dangerous to monitor
It's entirely possible that given Epiks status they could be hoovering all traffic for their own financial gain/distribution as well.
Re: If you can't secure you own house...
This is what they want, you can just nerd harder to fix it! /facepalm
probably would be good to link their security advisory

it's stuff like this

streisand effect
Did you not notice the Streisand (effect) picture in the background, Mike? https://youtu.be/K3v5wFMQRqs?t=1162
And yet they already do this

Re: Re: Malpractice, but hardly the worst
He prob got 100 bucks out of it after the lawyers or even zero.
Re: Re: It's articles like this...
(aside from medical exemptions)
Re: It's articles like this...
people not wearing masks at this point are literally flagging their evolutionary failure as individuals to progress beyond fear-based lizard brains.
Re: Call on health system versus smoking...
Your idea and entire premise is entirely wrong.
People die at a any age from various activities, not last 2 years of their lives.
