Does anyone have a list available of HIPPA-actionable, large-scale data breaches in the past and ensuing convictions or case outcomes / penalties from such?
>> In 2003–2004, the European Commission investigated the bundling of Windows Media Player into Windows, a practice which rivals complained was destroying the market for their own products.[citation needed] Negotiations between Microsoft and the Commission broke down in March 2004, and the company was subsequently handed down a record fine of €497 million ($666 million) for its breaches of EU competition law.[citation needed] Separate investigations into alleged abuses of the server market were also ongoing at the same time.[citation needed] On December 22, 2004, the European Court decided that the measures imposed on Microsoft by the European Commission would not be delayed, as was requested by Microsoft while waiting for the appeal.[citation needed] Microsoft has since paid a €497 million fine, shipped versions of Windows without Windows Media Player, and licensed many of the protocols used in its products to developers in countries within the European Economic Area. However, the European Commission has charactized the much delayed protocol licensing as unreasonable, called Microsoft "non-compliant" and still violating antitrust law in 2007, and said that its RAND terms were above market prices; in addition, they said software patents covering the code "lack significant innovation", which Microsoft and the EC had agreed would determine licensing fees.[13] Microsoft responded by saying, that other government agencies had found "considerable innovation".[14][15] Microsoft appealed the facts and ruling to the European Court of First Instance with hearings in September 2006.
I am failing to see how this relates to the current argument at hand.
Yes! And then each time you got a reply, it would send you a helpful email. But you would have to then click on a link to download the reply, rather than it being displayed directly in the email:-p

As someone who has spent money on the Google Display Network and normal search advertising, I can confirm that 100% of ads on mobile and third party sites use click trick / scams to collect CPC revenue with none of the clicks being intentional by potential customers.
Maybe this is the first step of the grand monetization scheme...
ALM can now start a Kickstarter: "if we receive $20,000,000 we will invest the full efforts of our company into a rockclimbing website and immediately shut down all other websites including X, Y, Z and delete all user data."
The third step would be the hacker provides explicit endorsement of this scheme "as a means to an end" after the Kickstarter begins.
Because of the power-law value of customer information (many fake, some disguised, few real, a couple elected officials with full doxable data) this scheme is the best way to attract payment. Also because the way Kickstarter works and the techniques used to prevent draft evasion (too long for this margin) there is a strong incentive for those with the most to lose to attract payment from those with less to lose.
This. Gmail has a hard time learn learning that "Please leave a survey for your last purchase!!!" is spam and "Your order shipped" is not. Either all my mail from one merchant wind up in spam or not.
TFA quotes this estimate to Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF). This is not a source that I would trust to give estimates on the amount of US business lost due to public knowledge of NSA industrial espionage.
Another publicly available and reliable source of attributing business losses to external factors already exists: public company 10-K reports, including the Risk Factors section and the MD&A section.
Although there may be a bandwagon effect, or a "bath" effect which may cause overstatement, this will provide a great upper bound for the actual business lost due to these reasons. Companies CYA by disclosing all kinds of risks, including even some of these obvious items:
> ENTRANCE INTO NEW OR DEVELOPING MARKETS EXPOSES US TO ADDITIONAL COMPETITION > Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations
So, when we start seeing real companies blaming their missed results on this reason, then I will see the reason as credible.
Yes, and if you gave someone who never read or wrote code before and gave them a printed sheet of Perl... they might wonder if the sheet is upright or upside down.

This is a weak retort to a sticking argument. From grandparents to teens, people have quickly learned that you need to:
- use VPNs to access sports channels that are blocked in your region
- use VPNs and common sense to access social media that is blocked in your country
- use strong encryption to protect discussion of drugs that aren't legal yet
- block ads / use incognito mode to avoid letting websites you visit learning your sexual orientation or other potential secrets
People will be quick to learn:
- use IPV4-style addressing (one per house) when voting, or accessing media you already purchased, the "wrong" way, to stay out of jail

Going forward, what do you believe is the relevance of GNU?

Oh nice, you've used IBM Cognos too?

No duh
Is anyone else embarrassed that NASA uses miles as its primary unit of measure?

Cool, and what's the procedure you use to tell the difference between a plastic bag (which you can run over) and a small child (dead stop)?

The correct cause of action is:
Common carriers should not be modifying the content of their service.
Good point. If someone places 200+ calls to 911 and they are not stopped, this is a failure of E911, not the NSI policies.
