Why can't FB charge them $$$? If the TOS say that any LE use without a judicial order/warrant or without FB's explicit written approval will be charged at $1000/day per account. And use of the system is deemed acceptance of this agreement.
They don't want to pay then shut down all of the FB accounts for that city, state or county.
The 'I was just following orders' defense went out at Nuremberg.
Apple is a profits-first company just like Google. You can see this clearly as they won't withdraw from OIC nations that hang people for the crime of being gay. (Four stores in Brunei alone!) Not on the list of companies boycotting Brunei. Apples Investor Relations team would love to hear from you, Im sure.
The LPR companies like this ruling. It means LEOs will come to them to gather and manage the data. But who can attest to the integrity of the data? And no warrants will be required to access the data.
I would add that FFC police are horrendous when it comes to transparency.
“They will advocate some institutionalized changes in the way social media should work. Every change will involve compliance costs. Facebook will make sure that it can complyand that its competitors cannot without great expense. That will give them a distinct advantage in the marketplace, make it more difficult for startups to compete, and guarantee this platform a leading place by law. This is why Mark readily agreed to be regulated. Regulations always work to the advantage of the largest market players.”
As with “gun-control” legislation, less-than-honest politicians (in the EU and the UK) have cynically, quietly excused themselves from compliance.
Not surprisingly, vehicles transporting politicians (in the UK and the EU) will never have ISA installed.
It’s good enough for us, but apparently not for them.
Shocking, isn’t it, that politicians themselves are evidently hesitant about personally enjoying all the endlessly-ballyhooed “benefits” of this new, mandatory technology.
Could it be that they don’t trust this dubious kit any more than the rest of us do?
But of course, their lives and safety are “important.”
California has REAL problems and they prioritize paper receipts?
That vast State Water Project was designed for a population not much greater than 25 million. Today, on any one day, California verges on nearly 40 million people within its borders and is projected to reach 50 million if not higher.
According to a January 2017 study, “California state and local governments owe $1.3 trillion as of June 30, 2015.” The study was based on “a review of federal, state and local financial disclosures.”
When you consider the California legal system and its regulatory system, inclusive of the world’s most comprehensive global warming law, California is likely the most regulated state in the Country.
California also is among the highest taxed states in the nation. California has the highest income tax rates. The top rate is 13.3%. The next highest is Oregon, but they don't have a sales tax.
The middle class is leaving in droves because of the above plus the high cost of housing.
FB has little redeeming value, but nobody is holding a gun to the user's head. Anybody that uses FB knows what its business model is and unlike a cell phone it's not a service you need in modern society.
Kids on the other hand should be prohibited from social media by law and by parents.
Too many people want all the sweet taste from the FB doughnut but then complain about its health risks. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions.
Corruption, pure and simple. When was the last time a high-ranking government official was fired or jailed for their malfeasance? https://www.stripes.com/some-v...
And what about the IRS scandal? The taxpayers are on the hook for the payouts but Lois Lerner retired with her pension. https://www.dailysignal.com/20...
Add to this that government employees can leave office and then work for the same businesses they regulated the week before.
"How about the GOP dressing up O'Rouke's 2 decade old drunk driving mugshot to look like a leprechaun for St. Paddy's Day?"
There were multiple insults there. An Irish guy calling himself Beto to get Hispanic votes A rich guy talking like he understands how the poor feel A criminal acting like he's a Kennedy (DUI and leaving the scene of the accident)
Nevada will argue that driving is a privilege and they are not threatening the driver with a fine or jail time for non-compliance. They are simply exercising their right to decide who can and cannot drive on its roads.
“The disclosures found by The News reference problems during Boeing 737 Max 8 flights with an autopilot system, and they all occurred while trying to gain altitude during takeoff — many mentioned the plane turning nose down suddenly. While records show these flights occurred during October and November, the information about which airlines the pilots were flying for is redacted from the database. Records show that a captain who flies the Max 8 complained in November that it was ‘unconscionable’ that the company and federal authorities allowed pilots to fly the planes without adequate training or fully disclosing information about how its systems were different from previous 737 models.”
Federal agencies would get very little done if they agreed to do every study request from every piss-ant city.
How about Portland gets one of its state universities to do the study, and on the city's dime. I would also suggest donations from carriers, but that might taint the results.
This is a transportation or consumer product safety issue.
What's the matter CDC, not enough work dealing with the current crop of nasty bugs in the world(Flu, Ebola, etc)? You now feel the need stick your noses into areas that are clearly outside the scope of a DISEASE CONTROL agency?
If you want to be helpful please go after Facebook.

After a Twitter user called out the social media giant over the practice on Sunday, Facebook has backtracked on the verification requirement.

Intel put the features in, failed to document them, failed to disable them and KNOWS researchers will be looking for them.
The only abuse is Intel not taking responsibility for its incompetence.

Ours apparently less so.

Where's jail time, bank account seizures and company liquidation?
Fines are nothing more than the price of doing business like taxes or kickbacks to politicians.

If he has an account with Wells Fargo then one of the things he had to agree to was mandatory arbitration.
As an aside to this issue I could see insurance companies demanding the same thing as a condition to payment after an accident.
Nevada will argue that driving is a privilege and they are not threatening the driver with a fine or jail time for non-compliance. They are simply exercising their right to decide who can and cannot drive on its roads.
I agree a warrant should be required.
Then you send it back for a refund.

A free society's highest priority is not to service law enforcement.
Exactly. The police listened to a machine and responded like machines.
In a strange coincidence it appears most of them were doing push-ups at the time of the attack.

Florida school officials and law enforcement had more than enough data to stop Nicholas Cruz.
Technology and good intentions are no match for incompetent and corrupt government officials.
Chicago named most corrupt city in America. Obama was also from Chicago and we saw how well his renewable plans worked out.
