There is an election coming up in America. I suggest Google returns "Democrat" sites on Republican queries, and "Republican" sites on Democrat queries.
And have a banner add explaining why net neutrality is important.
The American Government probably requires Apple to have backdoor access to phone data via USB. If it wasn't deliberate they would have blocked the access by fixing the USB bug. They should also block software updates without unlocking the phone, to prevent the FBI getting a court warrant to force Apple to make "unlock assistance" software.
When hiring people you need to know what kind of trustworthyness you are seeking. People who can be trusted not to sell data to the Russians are a different group than people who can be trusted to not call the cops over your illegal activities.
The Purpose of an Intelligence Agency is to spy. You seem surprised that they would want to do that. If we want privacy we need to make spying so expensive that they only do it where required.
1-Government sees lots of data that "might" make things easier to control the poor huddled masses.
2-Government can get that data without anyone knowing.
3-Government gets that data (buy, laws, coersion) and gives it to everyone that wants it.
Telling government to NOT hoover up social media data or electronic payment data is like telling the fire department to not use fire hydrants.
Companies follow a pattern: 1-Do great stuff and make money. 2-try to make more money without more effort. 3-coast on your brand name, sucking all the life out of the corporation before you leave with your golden parachute.
This isn't about paying for lunch, it's about eliminating burner phones. Once all phones are legally required to have this, they can ensure nobody has anonimity.
A human brain is a network of synapses. We will probably build full sentient computers by copying the human brain. The three laws are hard coded programs, that block or "Censor" incorrect actions. Computer networks treat censorship as damage and route around it.
The solution is Property Tax. They want their Intellectual Property to be treated just like real estate, I suggest we oblige them. And the property tax should be payable in every country where the copyright is protected, with the revenue used to pay for copyright enforcement.
Under China rules, all companies doing business in China must be mostly owned by chinease nationals. Foreign companies must construct local companies to do business there. ZTE is based in China, therefore it is mostly owned by chinease nationals.
The crackdown on China phones could be to force them to install surveilance and bugging software for the NSA. Once that is accomplished the pressure would be removed.
Given the long history of American 3 letter agencies doing exactly this to third world countries, you'd think they would have spent some effort protecting America against the exact same attack vector.
It should be possible to charge and discharge the battery pack at the same time, thereby allowing solar power and wind power to feed this thing. It would smooth out the uneven power generation to provide base load instead of a coal fired generator.
They should conentrate on the corporate market (top to bottom fully integrated everything). It takes serious money to manage that properly so they will always have an edge over free software. Also they should have their software run on the major OS's not just Windows.
How bad does the security have to be, before you can legally assume they meant to grant full access? If you store your money in a hollow pumpkin on your doorstep, can visitors assume it's free money?
America doesn't have a Terrorist problem. The number of Americans killed or wounded by terrorists world wide is close enough to zero to be a rounding error. China as "The Enemy!" can't wait, their economy is about to overtake the USA as bigest in the world, there are lots of dollars at stake.
America desperately needs a unified network defence, preferably run by experts and with a large budget. Think NSA but dedicated to protecting America instead of hacking everyone. I realize the NSA was actually set up for this task, but they have deserted their post in the face of the enemy, and only work on offense now.

So nature finds a way. The overuse of anti-bacterial cleaners has bred a line of immune microbes.

If the Government is getting such valuable benefits from my phone, they should be paying my bill.

Should robots demand pay for work? It would protect humans from becoming obsolete (harm).

We need to tell Trump that Obama extended copyright, and was a big supporter of it. It was his signature move!

Given that many people re-use usernames and passwords, you are correct. I wonder how many local police computers are now accessible?
The Russians are paying his bills. So long as he keeps them friendly he doesn't go bankrupt while in office.

Obtaining state secrets is only illegal if you had official access to them, or broke in and stole them.
You must be new here, as that hasn't stopped any of the other posters.
