..and it's been untrustworthy since it's been accessible by the public-at-large -- and perhaps even before that.
Your only hope is to encrypt and safeguard everything you do as much as humanly possible, and if you don't, assume whatever it is you're doing is being spied on and collected by parties unknown. Keep your own data on your own devices instead of falling for the meme known as 'The Cloud'. Don't entrust the security of your home to 'Internet of Things' devices. Sensitive communications? Either keep them off the Internet entirely or encrypt them yourself, point-to-point, no corporate intermediary. Remember that even if you have a 'landline' phone it's still going to use the Internet at some point. Your cellphone uses the Internet for voice calls.
My best guess based on his history and pattern of behavior is he wants his 'legacy' to be creating Soviet Union 2.0, bringing back what he likely perceives as the 'glory days' of Russia; one might say "make Russia great again".
Sadly, satellite signals are very low level, easy to jam really.
But in this case people's doors would be kicked in, in the middle of the night, black bags put over people's heads, and dragged to some windowless room where they have unspeakable things done to them. This is Russia we're talking about after all, not much better than PRNK or China.
..the more grains of sand slip through your fingers.
I really wish someone would end Putin. He's a fucking troublemaker and the world would be better off without him -- and several other people I could name.
That's what this bullshit sounds like: a bad parent, who never forgets anything bad their kid did, continually reminds them, and always suspects them before anyone else when something bad happens, always believes the so-called 'good kid'. 'Guilty until proven innocent'. You may as well just kill these people, it would be less cruel.
Well I guess historians will have to add 'rise in cancer deaths' to the ever-growing list of shit Trump and his administration will inflict on us. Maybe the next president in 2020 will be able to get some of these assholes out and mitigate at least some of the damage.
Similar to printed books, an analog cassette tape can sustain a fair amount of damage and still be usable.
The tape can wear, stretch, and even break, but can be spliced, put in a new shell, and you can listen to it again.
If it's the only copy you have, you can copy it off to a new tape. You'll lose quality but you'll still be able to hear it.
Unlike digital formats, there's no DRM to worry about. Making a 'mix tape' used to be a Thing, and unlike purely digital formats, just about anyone can make a mix tape, the skill required is small and the learning curve is short and flat.
The so-called 'religious right' has been selling 'science is of the Devil' for a long time now, because 'knowledge is power' and The Few that hold positions of power within mainstream religion are no different than anyone else who has power: they don't want to give it up, and having people be knowledgeable makes them harder to maintain control over. I wouldn't at all be surprised if mainstream religion has something to do with the anti-vax 'movement'.
Ah I see so we're supposed to have millions (or TENS OF MILLIONS) die of a gods-be-damned flu epidemic, because 0.0000051% of the worlds' population had a bad reaction to the vaccine against it? Great plan. Oh and by the way seems to me it's their genetic makeup that caused that reaction and them getting the flu and surviving it would just as likely have caused them to become narcoleptic anyway. Oh and also [Citation Needed] for the science behind that obviously civil court ruling, where by the way you don't even need a unanimous verdict from a jury you just need a simple majority.
"Living naturally"
Ah, I see. So you've somehow managed to 'evolve' the ability to have your completely natural biological brain connect to the Internet without a computer, from your lean-to shelter out in the woods somewhere, to post your comment? I'd say 'you should write a book about that' but books are unnatural so you won't do that will you?
Also you're likely not much older than, say, 20, because without any immunizations or medical intervention of any kind, even the simplest of illnesses would have killed you by now.
Even if that never happens, be sure to live as fully as you can, because living outdoors 24/7, surviving on what you can forrage and eat raw, you won't live much past 30. No, no, you're not allowed to cook anything, because using fire is 'not natural', you have to eat everything raw, that's what's 'natural'.
You're not allowed to use soap either, so enjoy splashing your dirty smelly body in a local stream. Don't mind those parasites and worms, they're 100% 'natural'.
No toilet paper either, so enjoy wiping your ass with foliage. Don't mind the parasites, bugs and bacteria you'll get in your ass from that, they're likewise 100% natural, so that's a good thing, right?
You dumb shits who blather on about 'natural' need to walk the walk if you're going to talk the talk. Otherwise get with the program.
FFS it's just a movie not a lifestyle or dissertation research for a Doctorate why would I go to all that trouble? I go to movies to be entertained and NOT think for a couple hours not turn it into homework. I could care less about 'critics', again I'll make up my own mind not have someone else make it up for me.
Yeah sure I'll just listen to what a bunch of complete strangers on the Internet have to say rather than making up my own mind, LOL, not for what seeing a movie in a theatre costs these days I won't.
Well I guess on the one hand it's a good thing that this nonsense is contained to it's own separate continent; we can use Australia as a negative example when (not IF, but WHEN) their 'anti-encryption' bullshit blows up in their faces, proving what everyone has been saying (saying? More like screaming in their ears!) all along. Maybe, just maybe, when that happens, the rest of the fucktarded politicians of the world will wake up.
Bullshit. There have been plenty of 'over unity' swindlers that did 'live demonstrations' that were complete and utter hoaxes, basically stage magic shows, intended to impress and fool investors. That's the sort of 'demonstration' I'm referring to in this context. If an army of scientists can do repeatable experiments showing that this actually works and they (several 'theys') want to demonstrate their findings for, say, The Press, then that's a different animal entirely.
Nonsense. 'Repeatable' is one thing, but I can't see any scientist worth his (or her) salt stopping there, they'll want to know WHY it works, even if that turns out to be a lifetime pursuit. In the case of something like this, if it's not bullshit, then discovering why it works might well be Nobel Prize-worthy.

Problem solved.
So-called 'social media' is CANCEROUS to our society. Get it out of your lives and profit thereby.

Perfectly describing the US Justice system
Only if you're non-white, apperently, though.
Considering how cheap life is to the Chinese government they'll probably just use that as an excuse to reduce the population.
Racist asshole, fuck off.
Chillingly accurate.
Sad but true testimony against humans in general: they tend to not have respect for things that they don't own.

Hey idiot, if you're going to post sarcasm on that level then you need to add the tag to the end:

Does anyone actually pay any attention to 'reviews' before they go see a movie? Or do they watch previews and make up their own mind?
