If their children are to be detained also, like the immigrant children are, then why shouldn't they be detained together? However, I note this didn't happen under Bush or Obama.
I'll also note that when citizens are detained awaiting trial, their children aren't just shipped some place without sufficient documentation to reunite them.
On the other hand, seperating small children from their parents and not even keeping enough information to ever bring them back together is extreme. If that's OK, why not help China root out American spies and help whoever hack the election?
I certainly wouldn't enjoy getting a message like that. But I would rather get such a message on FB where police could bag and tag it rather than just having them actually do it without warning.
That gets quite complicated to make it work. Back in the '90s it was done for POTS lines and Covad made a serious play to provide DSL over lines leased from the ILECS. The prices were as mandated, but Covad work orders went under the bottom of the stack. Just getting a wire screwed into a terminal block could take months, but having them "accidentally" disconnected only took seconds.
Because it's a lie. Basically, they jack up the base price, "zero rate" their own content and clamp down on the data caps to keep the other players out.
It's generally preferable to arrange things so they can't clamp down on data usage without shooting their own foot in the process.
At the same time, why do the authorities think on a computer should give them special access. If I write a diary entirely in a cipher of my own devising, I am under no obligation to teach it to them.
Never mind the computer, tampering with an election is a crime even if it uses paper ballots. Quit spending all of our money lobbying for more power and more laws with scare tactics and do your damned job.
It's funny how the offense has long outlasted its understanding. At one time, it was not the words that gave offense, but the speaker's apparent opinion that the listener wasn't worthy of a better word choice. However, if the speaker used such words habitually, rather than being offended, the listener simply thought a lot less of the speaker.
Sure, but when we start letting dumb software police it with all the intelligence of Beavis and Butthead, we've gone too far. It's one thing to not swear every other word, quite another to snicker or get offended if someone says aspirin.

It's a floor wax! NO! It's a dessert topping!
And when they are. Pull your head out of the sand. Even officials involved have admitted that.

Much to their profit and shame.
It's what the naughty kids use when they try to catch the Ether Bunny.

But they are cheaper, faster, and net neutral. So it must be possible.
Then watch them squeel and cry when municipal internet service comes to town.

Electronic ones, yes. Hence my comment about authorities thinking "on a computer" is special.

You mean out of pure spite. I notice prices didn't fall even an iota when the FCC killed it.
It's going to be popcorn time when the bubble bursts and the million dollar 2 bedroom broom closets start selling for under 100K.
And what I was talking about was JOBS.

According to official figures today, 4.6 years i now the median time one spends at a job. That would suggest more than 8 jobs in a career.
Many if not most suburban areas have restrictions on what you can do with your own yard and restrictions on hunting.
What about the Americans that live in Hell (Michigan)?

But before that (and still), it's a thing that covers your ears in the winter. Or an effects pedal.
If we're going to autocensor every word that has ever been part of a double entendre, we won't have much left to say.

That I have a sense of decorum, for example.
They will be "value priced" at just a couple percent cheaper than a taxi with a human driver. The cab company will pocket the savings.
