It could be entertaining to see a murder defense referencing civil forfeiture to prove that an object can commit a crime without the wielder of the object committing the same crime.
Is a child's attachment to a cartoon character all that different from a teenager's attachment to some music celebrity, attachments that often last (or at least used to last) well into adult years?
The celebrity is a real person - but has exactly as much effect on the teen's real life as the cartoon character would.
By that logic you need to cite concrete examples in which a company's security (read: unlisted FTP server with no password) was breached to blame the company.
It doesn't work that way. Just because it's gone okay until now doesn't mean it will continue to do so. When is a control freak cop going to spy on his wife? When is a CEO's cousin in law enforcement going to check on messages from his kin's corporate opponents?
They will make this system, and they will make it optional.
For a while.
Then to 'streamline' and 'improve efficiency' it will be harder and harder to do anything online from the EU without using that system.
Eight, ten years down the line it WILL be mandatory because no ISPs will be left that don't require it to let you connect - but from a LEGAL standpoint it is still 'optional'.
It's really a bit like playing a game on hard mode. Fewer lives, rarer continues, harder levels - it gives a certain satisfaction to make it through level after level without paying anything.
VERY few websites are so important they get a huge bookmark on my desktop. Not on my main computer, certainly not on a phone that is always starved for screen real estate.
The incentive to work is that you have a roof over your head and food on the table, but if you want nice things you need to make the money for them yourself.
Given frequent stories about iTunes deleting your offline library of music and choosing for you that it is better to download it every time you want to listen to it, having iTunes suddenly be unreachable to download your music is worthy of an explanation, yes.
Governments have an obligation to keep their citizens safe AS WELL as protecting free speech. It becomes a very difficult balancing act when you look at things like whether to permit or block encouragements to go bomb the local town hall.
Are governments doing the right thing all the time? Of course they aren't. They never will, they can't - they are ultimately made up of humans and humans are prone to make mistakes. But would you rather have a government that learns about plans to bomb half the country and go "Meh, better not stop them from doing that, they have a right to say they're going to."?
It all boils down to taking everything in moderation. The famous quote does speak about giving up essential liberty to purchase temporary security, but in the bigger picture what will you do with your liberty if you're dead?
Speaking of increased phoning home; is there any breakdown of how much data Win10 consumes in a day on average? Been trying to find numbers, but the only thing I can find is from 2015 when sharing the update files burned through usage caps in minutes.

Innocent until proven guilty, huh?
Alright, just gotta prove that the money is clean. You need to hire a lawyer to do that.
What are you gonna pay that lawyer with after all your money just got seized?
Oh, and better do it fast - rent is due soon.

How is this MY problem?
Then your stock price skyrockets due to the inflated profits.
Then you sell your stock when it peaks, take a golden parachute and watch the company crash and burn while sipping mojitas on the Bahamas.

Hold the presses! An Anonymous Coward on Slashdot watched a movie once in which this idea didn't work, and he backs it up with a quote in Latin!
I watched Stargate once, why don't we have cross-galaxy instantaneous wormhole travel yet?

Why do you have a problem with 'shared' and 'accessed' but seemingly not 'produced'?
Not necessarily.

Hi. Dane here.
Remember when the muslims were burning YOUR flag instead of ours?
Good times.
More like after seeing beheadings, extreme animal abuse, snuff etc.
Win7 still allows you to block/uninstall specific updates.

We have finally reached the point where captchas have gotten so convoluted that computers are more likely to get the answer right than humans are.
Well done, Google.
Well, that's true for everyone using Windows 10 today, so ...
