I don't know how it is in the people's socialist republic of California, but the state where I live, has this in
the drivers guide, which you are suppose to use, to obtain a state issued drivers license.
"Driving in the state of Missouri, is a privilege, granted by the department of Revenue, and comes with
the following restrictions..."
It's not a RIGHT, but a privilege, and has restrictions. You are IN PUBLIC and have no "right" of privacy.
You are not a "sovereign" citizen like some of these lDIOTS are when they get pulled over by police.
Plus, unless you came here LEGALLY, you are NOT an immigrant, you are an ILLEGAL ALIEN and
should be stopped, arrested and deported.
But, in the people's socialist republic of California, there are NO laws.
That's all smartphone companies have left. "new" colors, gimmicks in hopes of continuing to
push dated phones. What is a smartphone? A rectangular slab of glass, metal and plastic,
with a camera, memory, processor. To put lipstick on a pig, they gimmick them up with
pop up cameras, multiple cameras and "exciting" colors, in hopes to keep jacking the price
up.
Yeah, tell how they would do it, then anyone that would try to "melt down" the tech sector or a cyber
attack would know how they could scoop in and clean up.
Real smart.
Car define certain people. Sports cars, 4x4, etc.
By making all cars look and act the same, then, tell people to ride share instead of
owning one, you continue to chip away why America is unique to the rest of the world.
Another way to destroy it from within. Make America, like every other flippin' European
country. Cars are always being made to look "more European". Hey, get a grip! We
flippin' left that hell hole for a reason.
Maybe in large cities this would be good, but some of us out here in flyover country actually
ENJOY getting behind the wheel of a car and taking it for a spin!
Overthrow the Chinese government, toss them out on their ears.
Oh wait! It's a COMMUNIST dicatorship...that means the people
have NO WAY to overthrow that kind of government.
Oh well, so sorry.
No only no, but hell no!
But, eventually, this will "catch on" and city, county, state, & federal governments will see it
as another "mandate" for OUR benefit.
More intrusion, monitoring, tickets and what not.
Serves em right. If you are STUPID enough to give ANYONE your DNA, you are STUPID!
With the data mining of PC's, smartphones, websites and what not, you'd have to be a complete
moron to think someone wouldn't data mine DNA to solve an old cold case.
No manners, no respect, no grooming. "Do your own thing".
It's how kids are raised. Our office has had one or two people that failed to
show up after being hired, because they got a better offer. A few years later,
one came back to apply again. They were told NO!
I keep stuff on my laptop, pc, cloud, secure HDD's, safe deposit box.
On a business scale, you should be keeping stuff backed up across multiple platforms.
Say they refused to cooperate with the NSA/CIA/FBI or any number of alphabet agencies.
They'd have the FCC drum up something and come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Oh? at&t? You want to expand into this or that? Sorry, can't let you do that.
Don't underestimate the power of the deep state to get what they want!
If they let this continue, they are going down the tubes. Before long, they will unionize, and prices will
go up. Shoot, they already charge over 100 bucks a year for prime.
Celebs, politicians and other low life types, think they are hot & trendy because of how many likes, tweets,
followers and what not. Not to mention mis-information gets put out on twitter, then, once corrected, no one
believes the correction because they've already marched, burned, or protested the original tweet.
Sorry, I'm not one to "embrace" the tech, just because it is there.
I'll stick with a good old fashioned KEY that you have to insert & turn to start the car.
Yeah, a thief could rip the column/key lock off your car and use a screw driver to start
your vehicle, but the LOOK of a screwdriver sticking out of the cylinder will raise eyebrows.
Software can be hacked and I've seen a couple cases where keyfobs have been hacked,
giving access to the vehicle and starting it.
You want that high tech, fine, no problem, but at least give me the OPTION of keeping the
old school tech.
It's another reason why I still prefer MANUAL transmission (and yes, I live in a city).
Also, manual transmissions are somewhat of a new fangled anti-theft device. I've noticed
a few criminals have been stopped because they can't use a clutch transmission LOL.
Don't you mean WHEN?
Oh, you can bet schools will be the first to adopt these, for the "safety" of the children.
Once kids grow up with that technology, as adults, they won't scoff at the idea of them
being everywhere, because they are use to it. It's called CONDITIONING.
STOPPED reading after the fake news crap! "may have fallen victim to climate change, the team speculated."
Anything to continue to spread the lie about "man made" climate change.
Then, start your OWN website and make up your own rules. Just because people THINK you have freedom of speech...you actually
DON'T. It doesn't mean YOU are free to say anything you want. It just means GOVERNMENT cannot place restrictions on speech etc
(but they do all the time).
If a private website, wants to impose rules, however misguided some might be, unless you are paying the private website, then you are free to build your own website and say whatever you want.
"What has been a problem, however, is the censorship that happens at discussion websites like Reddit, Twitter and even this website. I see this happen to other people constantly on such platforms. Users get banned, or their content is deleted, or even more insidiously the content is hidden or made harder to view by default (like here)."

Can't escape them, even in death.
wants them broken up is because they want to unionize them.
Oh goodie! The twitter, facebook & pokemon apps will launch 0.000001 seconds faster, really enhancing my user experience.

Hipsters...skateboard riders, some bicyclist...
5.25 million? To a multi-BILLION dollar company like at&t, that would be like a $20 dollar parking ticket.

Just to get that apple logo on an overpriced set of headphones.
Minus the cocaine.
