They want to cooperate as it helps back off the antitrust dogs, and not because the issue is lessened but simple tit-for-tat. See also political donations.
But in this case, "The NSA can peek into US products at will" belief makes worldwide sales fall. So that overrides the bottom line even more.
If they stuck to specific warrants like they were supposed to, people would have less problem.
As for your idea, there are billions around the world who do not share your joy at government officials being able to read their stuff, limited only to their self-decided limits of appropriateness, like Russia, China, and the Mid East.
We must forbid building the 1984-like tools of tyrrany.
Presumably they want info on who they where talking to. If the shooters had accomplices, the FBI wants to know who they are.
If only we had an agency who is (lawfully or otherwise) intercepting every electronic signal known to mankind, who could be consulted when national security concerns arise...
They can get phone records of who they called. With an honest, actual warrant at that.
I wonder if there are any Ultra-level discussions within the NSA, ala Turing, as to whether they should "accidentally" stumble across other info on who the hackers are, or will they let the convoy get hit to not reveal their hand in how deeply they have cracked networks and Bitcoin.
They are the living expression and proof of the existence of memeplexes, or groups of memes working together to spread to more human brains.
The brains form a polished mechanism to attack the brain units that do not form another instantiation of the memeplex.
The danger historically came when a critical mass of the brain population could seize physical control over all brain units, memeplex instantiators or not.
As with religions, modern political ones do so with righteous fury.
Here, though, they remain somewhat limited, with their greatest power being limited to "only" social ostracism.
At some point, though, Fry, star of V for Vendetta, will get prosecuted, not for being gay, as in V, but for some other left wing article of righteous fury, instead of right wing.
How sad. It has come full circle on the V for Vendetta crowd, eating their own as the memeplex evolves beyond them.
Increased robotics and AI means increased productivity. However, government keeps tax income proportional to productivity growth (rather than population size of actual measured needs, either of which grows more slowly, and thus gets in the way of money to spend buying votes), meaning much of it is seized already.
This situation was predicted long ago, with the assumption there would be reduced hours worked per person. George Jetson used to whine about how his 2 hour, 3 day workweeks were killing him.
But countries that experiment with reducing work hours to increase enployment (under the theory sime minimal amount of work must still get done) find the opposite happens.
So massive numbers will be happy living purely off this income, no matter how shitty the hovel. Worse, they will vote for ever bigger cuts from those who do work, leading to more quitting their jobs because fuck it.
I am sure someone has a patent on a mic and a camera where the light is physically tied to the hardware being powered, so it cannot be falsified with software.
That probably adds 4 cents to the device, so won't be used.
The purpose of existing law is to make it hard, or impossible (e.g. medallion systems) for competition to form.
Electronic tracking is far safer than a background check...if safety for riders is your actual concern.
It is, isn't it? You aren't just a schill for existing entranched taxi services, are you? Or worse, are you a "useful idiot", as Stalin said, a True Believer in the cover story meme, while behind the scenes, power and money changes hands?
Nah. True Believer and that's the only thing going on. These politicians don't live their lives to wield power and do backroom deals. No. That's the rare exception. The vast majority are Jimmy Stewarts.
Yet the governments still manage to pull in taxes proportional to GDP, keeping up with GDP growth (rather than proportional to population, or to a set of well-planned needs, gawrsh how old school I am!)
So...again to hell with that. No new taxes to start ratcheting up!
Good. And, more specifically, the right to pay for things anonymously, much like you have the right to speak anonymously.
It isn't about thwarting justice. It is about forbidding government the tools of tyranny, including the ability to filch through your stuff and activities at will until they find something they can tag you, uppity person, with.
The problem isn't that the GPS is wrong, the problem is that the user is in error. In the Iceland case, the driver made a typo and wound up going to a similarly-named road 250 miles away. Had he entered the correct street name, he would likely have made it to his destination without a problem. I'm guessing the Belgium-Croatia case is similar.
The nav system can be in error if there has been recent construction. We tried to route in a rental car in San Diego to a restaurant and it got us looping infinitely in a little area where new roads had been lain but nonew buildings.
Some have "Avoid Tunnels", which seems silly. And it is, in the US.
But in Urope they have some massive tunnels miles long through the Alps, and have had some terrible tragedies with fires and people suffocating en mass.
As a result some are terrified and want to avoid those.

Most of that is paying for the nurse to come in and give it to the patient.
Thanks for exposing this!
Sigh.
So much for another fappening.

I was wondering where all those fucking elf fey languages c'ame 'fro'm.
They fired you because some jackass 20 years ago, who wasn't you, used a noname backup program you couldn't even figure out?
No, that doesn't matter. What matters is if they give it to governments without a warrant.
"I'm Clippy! Hello! Would you like to correct 'Polish death camp' to 'Nazi death camp' ?"
(Yes)
"Would you like to correct 'weren't such Nazi's about using the term Nazi' to 'weren't such Nazis '? "
(Yes)
"Would you like to correct 'grammar Nazis' to 'grammar SJWs' ?"
Those things require magnitudes more money, and require a much bigger tax base of people working at nontrivial jobs.
This is accomplished by building factories and other things, which requires not having to give 10% kickbacks to half a dozen officials.
If they stuck to specific warrants like they were supposed to, people would have less problem.

They have been notified of copyright violations on their network. They must respond or lose safe harbor.

What the fuck does reading the title have to do with anything?

So...again to hell with that. No new taxes to start ratcheting up!
What is bothersome to me is we now exist in a state of massive overspending, with tax cuts being only temporary.
Hooray for this win! A new, additional tax to ratchet up is not, in fact, born!
The problem isn't, and has never been, who wields the power. The problem has always been the existence of that kind of power at all.
Tell you what, let's invent this thing called "freedom", and let people be free to live their insane lives as they see fit.
So, regardless of your religion, or your politics-as-religion, your Great Ideas end where my nose begins.
No cake baking for ceremonies you are religiously offended by.
No orders to twitter to delete gay emojis.
