About 2 years ago. I went to the library with a memory stick. Cost about $,.50 for all my printing needs.
Back in the day, paper was cheaper than storage, Now I just copy things to my phone or tablet or laptop I don't use paper unless I'm starting a fire...
Facebook has way more than 1,8 Billion photos that many people are more than happy to tag with identities. I checked and something like 300 million photos a day. Of course they're not all people, but I'd guess there are plenty of them.
Odds are high that the photos, EXIF information and tags/names have probably already been sold to "various agencies"
Will the cable companies charge streaming providers like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix for priority bandwidth to offset their losses of cable TV subscribers?
I'm guessing it will be more of a war of escalation.
If an ISP charges a content provider extra, the content provider should pass additional charges on to the customer using that ISP.
Not implementing and operating a data backup system properly.
I have been bit by this myself and I thought I was doing a good job at it. (I'm not an IT manager -- I'm a software engineer who often gets shoved the IT manager's job for one reason or another.)
Almost every other failure can be mitigated but not this one.
I think data backup is very important. What is even more important is making sure you can do recoveries from the backups. (And keeping older backups off site) Lessons learned the hard way at my former employer.
it _IS_ possible that when ISP's start to charge for content, that others will use this opporunity to rebrand services which are free... as a bonus..
For example when Comcast charges $5/mo for access to facebook, a competitor can give that access free... hence everyone changes to that ISP cause they are now offering a better service... and on that.. that company publicly stated that service is free.. they start charging for it, then the FCC has them by the balls...
Must be nice to live somewhere you actually have a choice of ISPs,
I have one "high speed" choice, and live too far away for DSL, and don't have any phone lines into my house for dialup services.
I may just drop a fiber line or microwave link to a neighbor and toss them $20 a month for using their connection.
I haven't bought any physical or digital media since I got Netflix a while ago.
I have only purchased used physical media for about 20 years. So MPAA and friends don't make a cent off of me, except what they can extort from Netflix.
Are only useful if people point their requests to them.
Just ask your comcast or spectrum servers.
It could be worse, the UN could be taking over the root servers, followed by 14 years of meetings to decide which DNS Council member would have complete control.

I got a nice Let's Encrypt certificate than auto-renewed, and I've pushed any external HTTP requests to HTTPS on my router.
And I have a pretty big list of CIDR ranges and URL strings that result in blocked transactions.

Otherwise it's just pointless, and will be subject to continual lobbying and see-sawing debates forever.

The Virtual Actors Guild. Your characters need to bw fully registered and licensed and of corse you need to have your union dues fully paid.
The Virtual Actors Guild? ... The VAG? I’ve been trying to figure out if, given the context of the article, that was a deliberate joke or not!
Some of both. The Virtual Actors Guild on the Internet National Agency would be a dead giveaway...

Because once porn has pioneered this technology, real actors are going to quickly be in muchj lower demand.
