Hang on a minute, your post doesn't demonize the intelligence agencies... So I must ask: why do you hate freedom of speech, the internet, and civil liberties?
Why does it matter which part of the GDPR a company is unable to comply with? Despite how scummy of a company they are, unrollme will not be able to provide services to a large portion of the world. Privacy advocates want it (including myself), and we got it. We don't get to jab our fingers in the wound and blame the company as a way to avoid any potential negative feelings about what has happened.
To reiterate: GDPR good. Unrollme bad. *massages temples* I chose this life. I chose this life.
Definitely not trying to give China a free pass here, but in the large cities, they have implemented laws which enforce automobile pulsing. License plates ending in 2 can't be on the road Monday or Thursday, ending in 6 means you are not allowed to drive Wednesday Friday, and so on. They certainly do not deserve an A, but maybe a little credit for hitting step one and admitting there is a problem.
"allow the NSA to collect online communications of foreigners outside the US. Prism collects these communications from internet services, and Upstream taps into the internet'"
And who is shocked by this? Who thinks this is a bad idea? Many do, I'm less on the fence than many others.
They are executing the mission they have been charged with by the government since its formation, and how many times can we point to and say this was enabled by illegal [something]? Malice, or intent to defraud, extort or harm someone has usually been a condition of charging someone with a crime. Let's fight for our rights! But make sure we know what we are fighting for, spinning wheel wastes energy on both sides.
I wish this story only popped up when there was a 'version increase' of some sort with Miku. I understand there is is always someone for whom this is new and shiny, but it would be more interesting for the others if there was more meat to the story.
We should be focusing on fixing the existing technical barriers to entry around securing server and browser interaction. This is a cool solution but it is definitely an overengineered one.
Honestly, we want scapegoats, but in this case, we have some semi-reasonable ones. Every CISSP C***P CSISPD* blah blah certified anything security down to Security+ should be stripped of the cert. As the case unravels over the next 5 years, only keep those who were in positions to say something or do something who neglected to do so, with this blight on his or her resume, and every else can try to piece his or her life back together. Honestly, they will be in the same boat as a good portion of the people who now must obsessively monitor the world of credit information that could be used to screw them over.
FINALLY! All of the shit that Equifax has never been able to correct on your file such as the spelling of your first name as an 'alias' or the incorrect zip code of your first apart will finally come in handy! When someone applies for a new student loan under "Hataple from Cleevland California 65108" and is approved, they get full force. This could come in handly especially since they have consistently been the most difficult to correct information. Transunion was the most difficult to get a credit report from, but it was 'relatively' easy to fix glaring errors.
IANAL but I wonder if that will actually be useful.
What if I'm trying to download harmful stuff on purpose? If they put the 'fix' behind some backasswards tab in the developer tool panel just they made us all play Find The Certificate, it's full time Opera for me. Which I actually would not mind. The 'chromaddons' addon allows pretty much the entire chrome store extensions to work in Opera (even some weird ones).
I'm not a fan of the government pressuring companies to do things. But in this case, Twitter does not seem to be "complying with USG desires." Despite the message or the actual groups behind any campaign, they abused Twitter and violated the TOS. It certainly looks shady. However, if you appropriately weigh both sides, twitter isn't acting outside of the scope of their TOS and how they have chosen to enforce it.
don't buy it. Yeah, the chance that enough people will refuse to buy the device due to privacy invasion feature X or Y will stop them. But you have done as much as you can in the situation. Perhaps switch to another phone that doesn't have a similar feature... hmm, I'm sure someone can suggest a modern phone without this feature. Or at least one that doesn't force you to use the face unlock...unlike the iphone. Or rather, just use this phone and set it up exactly like the Android!
Turn off facelock and be done with it. Or switch and stop bitching. Everyone wanted competition. Now, no one wants to make use of it.
Even worse, my previous bank maxed passwords out at eight chars. But instead of telling you this when registering or changing passwords, the interface simply made the input field a fixed width at eight em and fixed input length at eight. I only realized this was the case while seriously fat fingering the last few characters and enter, but still logged right in.
I wonder how CNN will figure out how to beat the block this time. I'm just glad whoever runs code and features for the "unrelated videos" overlay on CNN's site is using his or her power for not as evil as he could be.
Seeing as they will be held accountable for an incident like that by so many orgs (not to mention GDPR...because I already have a headache), I think they will have pretty serious logic flow review and analysis before it hits production.
Credit Karma has always been very forthright with how they sustain the site. In plain language, and usually, before content, during, and random browsing. Of course it is another "we are the product, not the..blah tinfoil blah," but it is one of the best examples of the model working "best"
But people won't care, use them anyway, the bitch and moan.
Related/Unrelated, the best "identity protection service" I have used is MyIdCare. Full disclosure, the first few years were free (thanks OPM), but the amount of information they monitor, and how quickly they get a notification to you (vice your email inbox), is surprisingly fast.

Because this is how you cause massive power-grid failure.

Obviously a short-sighted bunch.
Now we can be bugged no matter what OS we use. Back to HPUX for me I suppose.

This post is my opinion only
I'm not sure if you have a gross misunderstanding of 'net' or 'content.'

Most devs are afflicated. It can be overcome.

Is this fair to all of them? No.

True. Adding you to the list twice really wouldn't do much.
I didn't read anything, and don't plan to.
I stopped here. 100% agree

Stop naming exploits! KRACK is idiotic. I wish heartbleed and shellshock had not been as nameable and chic.

I am interested to see how this pans out.
It is strange (and somewhat sad) when a company takes a category from the Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon and actually runs with it.

I just bought Mavis Beacon :(
