    you can always move to another state more in-line with your ideology without renouncing your citizenship.

    In theory that works great, in practice it does not work at all.

    Except you are confusing a transit and a consumer endpoint. Transit providers normally peer, but an endpoint is going to have more traffic coming in then going out because their consumers are requesting it, ALWAYS, but this is the first time they have been able to pressure people into these types of agreements.

    Peering agreements between transit providers is fine, but not when an endpoint bullies a service providor.

    entrapment is doing something to get you to commit a crime. The officer did not do anything to trap someone into committing a crime so how is it entrapment?

    Except labeling a link as a different link is not illegal, otherwise all of slashdot would be in jail. There was nothing stolen from the Seattle times. Use of a trademark is not theft like stealing a crowbar.

    Even still if you want to use the analogy, in this case the warrant specifically allowed them to go into Home Depot and steal a crowbar.

    How is it a "fail"? You agreed with my logic in your on statement. Maybe you dont understand logic?

    If

    Search and seizure without a warrant is illegal

    And

    Obtaining a warrant allows you to engage in search and seizure

    Then your statement confirms that it allows the officer to break the law, just limited to the scope of the warrant.

    Please name one thing that a warrant allows that would not be breaking the law without the warrant.

    Warrants dont always have to be served. You are thinking of things like arrest warrant. There are other warrants as well, such as warrants to tap a phone line. Those do not have to be served either.

    And when someone searches or seizes your property without a warrant is it not illegal? You are defeated by your own statement, however I will add the definition which further defeats you.

    warrant
    wôrnt,wärnt/Submit
    noun
    1.
    a document issued by a legal or government official authorizing the police or some other body to make an arrest, search premises, or carry out some other action relating to the administration of justice.

    I think you needed to look up the definition, notice the last part.

    There was no entrapment. The person did a bomb threat, all they were doing was locating him.

    What is illegal about it? They got a warrant, and sent a targeted email with a link people would not normally go to.

    You are only fooling yourself. Apparently you are a desktop person who is not willing to put in the work yourself, but for the server systemd is no where near needed for anything. It is a nightmarish system that is going to cause a lot of head aches when you want to do virtually anything advanced, IE outside of what the developers planned for.
