I really like the idea of this. I'm going to book mark the link and never click it.

I agree. I protested the war when it started, but it did start, and it did continue, and Trump's move to free all those Taliban prisoners and basically give the country to them was one tmof the most shameful things America has done in a long time. But Trump loves fascists and the Taliban are fascists.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I'd be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven't updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Dumbass do you realize that in 2015 they completely restructured Google specifically to avoid claims of antitrust?

What happened illegally between 2015 and now that thwarted Google's plan?

Didn't Google already break up? It's called Alphabet now.

I sort of agree it's a good idea but c'mon, the worst trip anyone I know has ever had was just a lot of crying and sadness.

This dude chopped off his dick. That's not the mushrooms doing.

Mushrooms did not induce anyone to cut their dick off. What an absurd statement. Dude was already fully psychotic, as anyone who has eaten mushrooms can tell you.

This is why you have to install the latest software updates on your license plate. One time I let my gas cap firmware get outdated and someone downloaded my car.
