Well, at least no skeletons in Macron's closet. You can hack e-mail and leak the contents to the public all you want. But if there isn't anything illegal/unethical/embarrassing in them, it's not going to affect the election very much.
If there was a hack but no leak, I'd worry more. Because that's when the adversary is likely to have found something usable as leverage.

I hate that law enforcement breaks laws to hunt criminals. Shouldn't be allowed under any circumstances, right. Right?
The problem with many kiddie porn sites is that they operate on a barter system. You submit some new content in exchange for access to other content. Often, this is done to weed out law enforcement, who would draw the line at anything that would increase demand for further exploitation.
If somehow they managed to keep the site running with only the existing content, then it's not so much of an issue. And I imagine that law enforcement would steer clear of anything that would promote additional production.
One thing that I find sort of amusing (perhaps morbid to others) is that the list of countries where arrests were made includes a few where kiddie porn is frowned on even more than in the USA. And prisoners safety isn't given the same attention as here. Those people won't last long in the general population.
I'm not interested in being subservient to a machine or being forced treat it as though it's human.
There was no mention of the machines doing anything demanding interaction with, or a response from the people that ended up vandalizing them. I suspect that people who are "not interested in being subservient" to a box with a camera that is just rolling around are having some serious reality perception problems. It's a machine. Thinking that it's presence somehow "forces treatment as a human" is pretty much the definition of anthropomorphism. The drunk (in TFA) at least has an excuse.
Alleys and loading docks. Make the mandatory in city codes. It will take some time, but eventually, every building will include an off-street space for trucks.
<rant> What about those stinking auto dealers? How can I get a business/development permit for an outfit whose primary function is to take multiple deliveries of large goods from even larger trucks. And then say "Nope. I'm not even going to pave a little strip at the back of my property for the trucks to pull in. I'll just have them park and unload in the middle of the city street."
If a particular shop only manages to make one sale to someone on your street in a given day,
But there are deliveries being made every day to practically every house on the street. By the US Post Office. And there is a community mailbox just across the street from me with a couple of big parcel bins.
I've had a number of on-line sellers use parcel post and it seems neither more expensive nor slower than UPS or FedEx.
Anthropomorphize much? Because it's just a security camera on wheels. If that intimidates people then they aren't much smarter than my cat confronting my Roomba. That aside, I'm in favor of using social shaming against all sorts of vandals. Whether their target looks like R2D2 or not.
Or perhaps as profit motivated makers of these machines try to take existing public spaces
From TFA:
The robots operate in shopping centers, hospitals and corporate campuses.
Not public spaces. Private property owners have the right to provide security and surveillance. Either by robot or a 300 lb minimum wage mall cop with an attitude and a can of mace.
Also, I, law enforcement and practically every three letter agency have the right to photograph/film in public spaces. Don't like it? Stay home.
No. But in a way, the Internet belongs to the government. They designed it and built it, based on leased lines from the telcos. They wrote the rule book (sadly, only enforced by gentlemen's agreements between service providers). Domain names and IP addresses were initially handed out by the government (first, by the DoD, then under the US Dept of Commerce).
Sadly, because the government didn't consider the ramifications of the handover to private business without more than these 'gentlement's agreements', they left the system's rules difficult to enforce in court or by regulators. Perhaps it's time to change that. You don't like our rules, you can give back your IP addresses, unplug your routers and go build your own network. You could call it Compuserve.
Betteridge's law notwithstanding, the next question will be what to replace it with. And the attempts to answer that will devolve into a clusterfsck of trendy languages du jour. And by the time some poor bank has funded the effort to port to something, that something's advocates will have moved on and the replacements will claim that the choice was all wrong and divert the effort to their new favorite.

It's an ex-prison colony. They probably like searching your prison cell at random times just out of habit.
From TFA:
It is generally illegal to install an app on another person's phone without their knowledge.
So, son. Here's a phone for you. I've installed spyware on it, so watch what you do with it.
Won't someone please think of the childr^H^H^H^H^H^Hshareholders?
It turns out that robots just enjoy watching human pain and suffering too much.
Maybe. Is it possible to port Linux to it?
Not if they are cooked properly.
NEETs.
Reread the article and summary.

Replaced or remodeled. Anything you need a permit for.
Came to post this, left satisfied.
Let Seattle stew in their own juices. Part of eliminating on-street parking also took out loading zones.
a locked metal cage full of packages
The Japanese are pretty law abiding. In Seattle, that would result in a rush of hobos with crow-bars.

socjus style social shaming about 'bullying'

Yeah. My heart goes out to those poor violent criminals.
Bloods vs Crips animosity is nothing compared to init vs systemd.

Well, thank goodness that's gone.
That's when they are the most dangerous.
Nope. I'm not trading mine in for a compact model.
