That's what we've been trying to tell the world about Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and even Cuba. That last one's strategically debatable, but for the rest "we should treat it as an attack" was a lie then.
Its no more or less of a lie now. Encouraging other countries to embrace reactionary foreign policy is no more of a good idea than following the US' lead on the matter.
If you or I can be held responsible for such activities from our homes, why give google an exemption?
It would depend on jurisdiction of course, many of us live places that will give us(with help of a lawyer...) a bit of an out for guest wifi or TOR exit nodes, but ultimately, you know google is going to settle for little more(or less) than it would have cost them to buy these works at retail, whereas you or I would also get slapped with thousands of dollars extra(per item?) in fines and legal fees.
They can afford to pay for the porn, but they chose to go the "we shouldn't have to because its smut" route, and not bother trying to say their employees are responsible for downloading random books/movies/whatever for personal use. Do they get to use this out for CP?
Also, unlike you or I, they have logging in place, such that they know which employees did what. Not saying they should name-and-shame, but they could(and should) easilly eat the cost and pass it through to those employees, whether it also comes with HR disciplinary action ornot.
Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.
Where did they get the idea that that's a more respectable response?
EDIT: Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.
I hope they bankrupt the fucking state of Texas. Someone should sue him for wasting taxpayer money. Toss-up on whether I feel bad enough for progressive &/or sensible Texans to care how those two thoughts play-out.
Narrowly avoided a downvote by way of a decent pun. Upvote for the username.

Okay, but was it for their home, a friend, their boss, a government office or workspace? Was any harm really done? Was the fridge really unsecured during transport?
It always amazes me how little the context of what a group with a bad rep is willing to act on matters when they think they've found an excuse to look like they hold themselves accountable with transparency.
Accountability and transparency should be so much more than a scapegoat, a couple paragraphs, and a picture that doesn't even show the whole fridge/vehicle.
Every time I think of a stupid theft/security scenario, I find it has been done worse, at a ridiculous scale, and my reasons for not just taking what I want boil down to mostly laziness. Why yes, I'm white, why do you ask?
Thus the confusion in my first comment. Governments play at least as fast and loose with their own rules as this dude did, and you're right, its stupid the article doesn't mention it at all.
You've got it backwards. Weapons-grade is more stable. Less stability is fine for reactors, because they are designed to manage the reaction on an on-going basis and not, in general, blow up.
