If you cannot afford Internet, then what the hell are they marketing to them? Is Facebook just using them to inflate their user count and trick investors/advertisers or on Facebook Angola do they advertise bread, "mud cookies", and goats instead of PlayStation 4s and designer cars?
I think the idea is that everyone would get fired and lose every friend they had if a feed into their thoughts was made public. So when people have an expectation of privacy, aka writing in their diary or during a private conversation, the people who broke the expectation of privacy are on the hook for the damages caused by leaking that private moment.
Also note that HH was fired and suffered most of his emotional distress because of something he said in the video, not from the fact that he had sex in it.
But on the other side. There is a conceivable avenue thorough which Hogan can currently expect payment of his legal winnings. But if he is awarded much more, Gawker just files for bankruptcy, it as a cooperation is destroyed and 99% of their worth (which was always imaginary) goes up in smoke, and maybe Hogan gets a million of two when their office chairs are sold in auction and the couple hundred thousands in operating funds are transferred over to him. Gawker does not have $300 million in gold in their basement, they have a name that is worth money, but if their debts get anywhere near their net worth then it is no longer a viable business and is worthless.
Setting aside the whole professional damages area, what is fair for personal damages? Does a poor person get less because money is worth more to them? $10,000 is a shit load of money to me, that is the number that popped into my head as fair for breach of privacy and emotional distress. But to someone worth millions, who goes to $10,000 a plate dinners, obviously emotional distress is worth more to them. They might pay millions to avoid the leaking of a sex tape, while someone who makes $20K a year obviously would not. So are the emotions of rich people actually worth more than the emotions of poor people? What would be a fair way to put that into law?
I think the number must of been designed to hurt Gawker, instead of to appease Hogan. Anything over single digit millions is a ridiculous number for emotional distress and his remaining career was not any where near worth 100 million, but I am unaware what evidence was brought forward to show that it hurt his career at all.
With over $100 million on the line, I doubt that Hogan cares one iota, but I noticed Hogan sex tape trending their morning on a porn site. So on the one hand, what Gawker did probably does deserve a punishment, and since this is probably just 1 incident of hundreds or thousands, their is something to the idea of the punishment being significant because most of the time they will get away with it. But anyone suing over a sex tape leak, obviously does not care who and how many see there sex tape.
I have heard that homosexual men has very similar brain responses to scantily clad women as do their heterosexual peers. So the scantily clad women are not their just for the heterosexual men and lesbians, scantily clad women in fact have universal appeal and are just all round good at helping to sell your products to any and all demographics.
Yes, phone companies have had to cooperate with criminal investigations since the telegram was invented. Every civilian and every cooperation has always been expected to offer any and all cooperate in the investigation of crimes, even when it can be proven to be against their best interests. Apple should not get a pass just because they are rich and powerful.
It should be surprising that the government is incompetent or it should be surprising that the government wanted to look at the emails of a suspect traitor/contract breaker? There are people that believe that Snowden should be protected under leaker laws, but even they are likely to believe that the government would be within its rights to look into what and how he leaked the government documents.
No, I think most people think that Apple and every other company should comply with court orders. Because that has been part of the law since the founding of the country and we have seen no good reason to change this yet. I guess if you are an ultra capitalist you might want companies to be above the law, but most people would not agree with you.
Facebook, Twitter and your friends are a million times more guilty of this than any government agency. Technology and culture destroyed privacy and free speech well before the government was given half a chance.
I don't even understand how equity compensation is legal. Insider trading is supposed to be illegal. And even if it were not, if I owned a company, I would sure as hell make sure that I did not bias any CEO I hired towards the operation of my company.
Higher Specs look good on paper, but are not nearly as important as stability and well written software. I have the original version that looked amazing next to the pi 2. But it crashes all the time and the only video player that works on it is Kodi.
Except, I see no way that a stone tool can be used instead of chewing, unless they want us to believe that they used a mortar and pestle and made a meat paste.
Far more likely, and this is a use that is provably plausible, they used the stone tools so that they no longer had to bite animals to death, meaning that far less biting strength was needed. And with the increased hunting success, which tools gave them, they no longer needed to wring every last calorie out of food. It was more effective to be lean and fast, instead of an efficient digester.
Unfortunately, Liberals in general seem to have adopted the philosophy that the best way to appear smart is to confuse people with your vocabulary. It does not matter that the word hardly even works in the way you are using it, as long as it is long, hard to pronounce, and hardly anyone knows what it means.
Which is applicable to economic crimes, not being able to get a job does not, at least in the same way, force paedophiles to practice paedophilia.
And in fact, not being able to live near young children, if anything, helps with recidivism.
Justice, at it's core, is about appeasing and sating the mob. With all the additions to humans rights, people no longer see prison as a severe punishment, so they clamour for greater punishments to be heaped upon criminals.
No, those words are very explicitly about sexual preference. They are words about what a person prefers in the bedroom and are inherently sexual in nature.

Customer support work is normally Indians getting 3 dollars an hours. Support work is absolute bottom of the barrel, not requiring any skills or even a physical presence.
You do realise that/. had an article a month ago about how driver-less cars have been involved in a statistically higher number of accidents so far? In fact the statistic stated was twice as many accidents than the average human driver.

Oh, I was wondering how in the world a sex video could harm a professional wrestlers careers.

False Flag operations work better when the operation is something the people will hate. Hacking Trump will just make people like Anonymous.
When everyone is watching you, you tend to get militant defence of the status quo.

Knives don't really replace chewing, fire does that.
