Stop with the conjecture, wild speculation, and other partisan BS and let the feds do their job. Incomplete, generally half-assed reporting, mass disinformation and wild speculation is how we wound up in the state of civil unrest that we're in now. There are enough bad actors in both parties that would commit such crimes against the other with the goal of subversion.

As twitter is a private forum where regular users can choose to block people at will, and deny freedom of speech to those whom they choose, they cannot stop Trump from blocking whomever he so chooses. As Twitter has repeatedly claimed that you have no right to freedom of speech or expression by their statements and actions, and those rights are treated as such as it is a "private" forum, then they, nor can the USDOJ, can stop him. If they wish to stop him, they must clarify that they are a public forum and they, nor their users, may block or censor any other user of that forum, and enact feature removal that enforces this, as well as company-wide behavior remediation accordingly.

We're at a point where your employer and a populist movement dictates your political stance, or you are immediately unpersoned. Welcome to the USSA....

Last time I checked, "race" as a required qualification was discrimination, and goes against anti-discrimination laws basically everywhere.

The law is rarely caught up to technology, and rarely ever will be. The only realistic solution is a complete ban on the use of facial recognition technology by the government and government associated entities is the only realistic way to prevent it from being used against citizens. It *WILL* be weaponized against the citizens if implemented in any form. This has been proven time and time again, and there's already a chinese-like "social score" implemented in the tech sector as-is.

There is no such thing as a perfectly secured router/firewall/gateway. Any degree of access required increases attack surface. The most you can do is lock down everything you possibly can, intelligently allow the absolute minimum of access (bi-directionally) required to do what you need to do, and pray. Most reputable open-source *ix based solutions work the best (unless you're talking commercial/industrial appliances) , and which one you want depends on which featureset you require combined with available hardware. There are even pre-spun *ix distros for this specific purpose. The other half of this is intelligent use of the interwebs. It's already been said, but don't go to sketchy sites, don't fool around with flash/java games (remove flash and java from your PC if you can), don't use windows/OSX unless you absolutely have to, and don't click stupid stuff.

More proof that you are guilty until proven innocent. So much for the justice system....

Basically treat it as your 2 weeks notice (or whatever is standard in your area). If you start talking about it too early, you paint a target on yourself. It's an easy way for them to "find" a reason to fire you so they don't have to pay out benefits. There's a fairly extreme amount of bias and discrimination against older folks in the workplace now as-is without painting an even larger target on yourself.

THAT is the real question... why in the hell is a military bird flying only 500ft above a residential in what is most assuredly not a combat zone

Considering that both the far left and far right regularly advocate violence against the other on twitter and facebook, why aren't facebook and twitter removed as well under the same policy? Facebook also has some degree of soft-core pornography, as well as the various *chan browsers, twitter, imgur, reddit, and nearly every other social media site
Sounds more like targeted anti-right thought police to me... Denial of access to forums of speech that happen to lean politically the opposite of you is still targeted censure(silencing) of free speech, just by a different name. There is nothing illegal that has been done by hosting the app, and you cannot advertise your market as "open" when you take such action.

The reality is that trying to put the entire US power grid in the hands of a single plant, regardless of the plant type is unrealistic and foolish. All it takes is a single natural disaster, terrorist attack, technical issue or otherwise to throw the entire country in the dark. Considering a squirrel, snake, rat, bird, etc is all it takes to knock out half of a major metro grid, what do you think it'd do to a massive solar array? You simply cannot have a single point of failure when it comes to the electrical grid of an entire country. While it may be a good idea to stand something like this to shore up the grid for years to come, you will still need additional solar, hydroelectric, wind, coal, nuclear and CNG plants to keep the grid sound and fault-tolerant as possible.

1: Contact both your local police and the police for where the account is registered. Give them as much information as you can when filing the formal complaint.
2: Contact the major credit bureaus and file a fraud alert. This will help mitigate what damage has already been done.
3. Contact the BBB for the region and file a complaint.
4. If a local TV station has one of those "troubleshooter" things where they go after businesses as consumer advocates for issues, try to get them involved, if not, check the same for the locality of the cable provider and try them.
5: Seriously do 3 and 4. Companies don't like public bad PR campaigns run against them. They tend to take action off of these kinds of things.
6. If none of the above work, seek legal counsel. You will have to drag them through the court system if none of the above work. Document all of the above actions in extreme detail as they will be useful if this has to go before a judge. This includes recording phone calls (you will legally have to disclose to the person on the phone that the call is being monitored and recorded, otherwise they will be inadmissible as evidence)

As do I. I work remote and regularly pull multi-gigabyte files across my VPN connection, multiple times per day. I would obliterate a data cap in only a few days (if not less) effectively forcing me and many of my colleagues to return to commuting to work daily, and potentially costing many of them their jobs. (some are many states away from one of our offices). So much for going green.....

In all seriousness.... what kind of society have we become when we sue over something so meaningless?

simple... you remove greed and malice from humanity
