Good luck banning software though. The technology already exists, the cat's out of the bag.

Ex-NASA scientist, and the article goes on to claim that gigahertz frequencies (you know, WiFi, 4g, etc) may cause health risks.

I know the musk circlejerk is pretty big around here, but come on.

deally they'd pass comprehensive privacy protection laws to setup standards that both domestic and foreign companies would be subject to.

No, no, no. That would mean dismantling PRISM and the FISA. Gathering data on citizens is only bad when China does it.

If it was about protecting citizens interests, PRISM would have been declared illegal and disbanded, not hushed and expanded.

I wish we would, but on the other hand, not being a totalitarian regime is kind of the reason why it's better here. Damned if you you, damned if you don't.

Other people have already addressed the main issue here, so I think you're sorted there.

But yeah, I consider "bricked" a permanent condition - something broken beyond repair, so it's as useful as a brick. See also "paperweight".

What do you think it means? Temporarily unavailable?

Actually, you're right.

If we consider this normal, it would totally be acceptable for Europe to demand a ban or sale of American ~~spying and propaganda tools~~ social media and streaming platforms. Either way, it would reduce the harm they could do - and in the case of a sale, they'd actually have to adhere to consumer friendly laws.

Yeah, that's what the headline says. In the article it states that it worked again after a service request and a (redidulously long) reboot.

So did this one, but if you include irrelevant details like that, the headline wouldn't get as many clicks.

Why lump the two groups together?

Because it's very hard to make a "think of the children" argument out of this without doing so.

Any particular reason for this whataboutism that makes it stand out from the average website?
