The quicker something large like EU goes down the fucking government rules everything drain the better for the rest of us. We get to see what a government that passes laws against doing anything and everything looks like. We get to see the full action of the slippery slope of good intention passed laws. Hopefully this will open the eyes of citizens who don't mind the thousands of anti freedom laws passed every year in exchange for tiny amounts of protection against edge cases that may or may not hurt a handful of people.
Or maybe they'll just import these stupid fucking laws like they already are trying to do. The USA already is proposing something like the privacy weakening GDPR. The US did already pass the anti sex traffic law that creates more private sex traffic (FOSTA-SESTA). Maybe I'm being too optimistic but I believe things have to get worse before they get better. It's hard to convince people who love nanny states that freedom is the better option until their favorite things are outlawed. Once that happens it's almost too late without a violent uprising since those kinds of people tend to do almost nothing with their lives anyway. Just like government/big corporations like its people: Do nothing tax paying law abiding homogenized citizens/employees.
First off, 51% is an attack not a hack. Second, exchanges have ways to adjust minimum transaction confirmations to almost eliminate any threat from such attacks. A lot of wallets for PoS and other coins have added algorithms and checkpoints to practically eliminate most of the 51% attack vectors also. It's still an ongoing threat but if the coin still matters the ecosystem responds and shuts most attacks down pretty swiftly and with minimal to no loss.
Instead of a rotating cast from 100 famous actors there have been movies with just about anyone in them from all over the world. Something Hollywood should've done long ago but didn't because they think they can't make 300-800 million off no names. I don't think it's a social justice thing. I just think they want grab the international market and just make it better. If you start bringing movies from different areas to others it increases exposure and creates more demand. It also introduces different film making techniques across the globe to people who might not ever see them.
This right here. Everyone that is upset about this is on the wrong side. This is how apps and software developers make money these days. They share data in exchange for developing software and giving it to you for free. If you get outraged and start a social justice war around this then the government is just going to crack down and fine the crap out of everyone until there won't be free apps anymore. You are going to destroy an entire market because you're pissed off someone like Facebook knows where you ate lunch today? This is how marketing works. It is targeted. It doesn't matter if the data goes to Facebook or Google or some smaller entity it pays for the development of the software you use daily. In exchange you give up some details of your life.
The only outrage should be when companies sell that data back to governments like in the case of the fake genealogy websites. Then your data _is_ guaranteed to be used against you in court.
This is how app developers are getting paid. You either pay for an app or use it freely with the understanding you are still paying for it through data collection your device allows. There are libraries, opensource and other, that just plugin to apps that allow developers to get paid for their work and your device coughs up data along the way that allows you to keep using said apps.
I don't get the fucking outcry here. It's just data. Without said data you wouldn't have all the apps you can right now since there would be zero dev incentive to charge $5 a month for an app that requires constant development since 5 frigging people would use it.
Now you guys are going to make sure the government cracks down on this free market and ruins everyones' day by making free apps impossible.
You are out of your mind. We've been waiting for an administration to do something about it other than look a blind eye toward it. It's been out in the open for over a decade at least. The problem is the amount of profit to be made in China made companies getting actively stolen from even look the other way. They can't not keep putting their hand in the cookie jar no matter how many times they get a beating. It's almost funny actually. I don't blame China for doing it look where they come from in such a short time. Even Trump himself said he doesn't blame them. It was actually a good idea but if we have people with a backbone to start griping about it in our other countries they might cut it out a bit and just depend on their own IP instead. Wishful thinking but if everyone blocks them their hand will be forced.
open the door to that room over there. That's um unsafe chemical storage yeah. Yeah because you can't hide the fact you'll be funneling traffic back to China or pay off inspectors.. geez
Well you know the corporate rule. Always promote the exact opposite of what you are. Google with do no evil, NFL with supporting black rights/social justice while physically and mentally destroying their workers until they are bankrupt or in prison from being crippled or domestic abuse/drug charges. It's always a look the other way it's not us! message. It's hilarious to witness because you know they are exactly opposite of what they are preaching. Sometimes they are the root cause!
Got all prohormones/steroids banned. One kid killed himself on purpose. One kid took away everyone's ability to use stuff that works to lose weight/gain muscle and help your health. One kid! Absolutely crazy. Of course recently one rich person who owns a casino got cross state online gambling banned again. Sigh.
This is nothing like that. TV costs money. Airwaves disrupt services that cost money so they have to be enforced by some entity so everyone can use it (just like Internet). I actually still use Facebook because family uses it and coworkers. I don't care about data collection. I use Google Chrome, browse using Google.com, have an Android phone with lots of "free" apps. My data is already sold. I chose all of these services and none of them were forced on me. Laws on the other hand are forced on all of us and going back after one is in place is damn near impossible.
It's a free service. Just don't use it. What the fuck is wrong with people? If it's not the government trying to control us it's corporations or it's the "public opinion". How about you just go about doing your own thing and come up with something better? Ohh wait the entire world has plenty of alternatives!
Exactly. It could've even just been a fun quick question to ask. Everyone is on red alert for Trump to do or say something wrong. He does that anyway but how many damn hit pieces do you need for one person?
Do you have the right to be forgotten in books? In movies? In news stories? In schools? In songs? Since the history of man.. What the hell is EU thinking. This shouldn't even be a thing.
This is the endgame of white washing everything, controlling all employees (and consumer) social behavior, political correctness everywhere we turn. You control the message everyone is giving and you can sell to a captive audience without stirring up any resistance.
They should name all of their products Flutter.

adventure, chance, crapshoot, enterprise, flier (also flyer), gamble, speculation, throw, venture
I know, Google is a joke. You can't enjoy any of their products without having the thought in your mind it'll be gone tomorrow on some asshole VP's whim. None of them appear to eat their own dog food either. They probably all have fucking iphones under the table playing their Apple music. Because who the fuck in their right mind (and this is coming from someone who only uses Android/Youtube Music) will stick with/pay for a service that is going to abruptly end or get worse. They only care about their pressure behind the scenes AI gathering usage and user opinion. They don't give a damn about what people even think anymore.
Shouldn't have posted before waking up. Totally missed the appeals part. I read it entirely also. Wow. Ok, sounds way more like EFF heh. Glad I donate.

Yeah it's great. Tax payers pay their salaries and they go to block us from listening in by using more tax payer dollars to do so. Absolutely insane.
To make money off of Facebook. Sounds fitting.

I second this. The Tick is great on Amazon and the previous live action Tick actor is helping to produce it.

Of most oppressive Internet/web nations. EU should be near the top here shortly. Good job guys!! Keep up the good work.

Especially a Salon. That is insane... they live off of cash tips. Read: avoid taxes.
Glad I just rely on package management to update. Though I know that's not entirely safe all the time also but it is a hell of a lot safer.

What is going on with crackdown on porn and free speach everywhere. Can't wait for more free distributed networks that will work around censorship.

To their own email/data retention policy? I thought the corporate norm was to allow everything to be deleted every 90 days now.
