Wouldn't always matter, at least in this country you pay a "media license", which means just the fact you have access to the internet (or even just own a radio) means you gotta pay up; because you are technically paying for the content you could potentially recieve, and since the national TV station here also streams a lot of content (Pretty much all the content produced by themselves) you gotta pay up just for having internet.
There is a lot of good content free over the air. We have a Tivo and record most of what we watch to skip over commercials we're not interested in. There is no way to degrade that.
Sure there is, all TV now a days is digital. So encode the TV signal in a proprietary format (to prevent clever opensource solutions), make it part of your proprietary format that commercial blocks are marked as unskippable by the TiVo.
Those vans actually exist (Or existed anyway), old school picture tube TVs put out a lot of RF and you could pretty uniquely identify the type of radiation as coming from a TV.
Accuracy was no higher than the antenna on your scanning gear, so if you were checking single family houses you could pretty easily scan to see if the family had a TV running. For large multi-family housing estates, you were pretty much boned though, best you could do was come to a conclusion that one of the several appartments in your reception cone had a TV, which is not very useful if you wanna send out invoices.
Also, I doubt the technique would work with modern flatscreen TVs since those don't have large RF sources. Although with most modern "Smart "TVs having WiFi and Bluetooth support (No idea why, but they do), you could just pull MAC addresses out of the air and even more uniquely identify people's TVs.

...yes. What else would they be doing? Do you expect an AI system to somehow involve the researchers imbuing a computer with some kind of magical electronic soul?
Oh I see, you're one of those guys.
you're so adorably delusional.

I find your name and the content of your reply slightly ironic.
But essentially it's true that in most cases the authorities cannot compel you to to divulge your crypto keys, but under certain circumstances they can.
For example if they already know what they can expect to find (I.e they have examples of say child pornography coming from your IP), then a judge can compel you to divulge your keys or be held in contempt of court.
There are other cases mentioned in the video.
NOT hate speech: Mohammad had sex with a 9 year old girl. -- This is a widely accepted historical fact.
No.
Pretty sure the "fact" just is that the dude married a 9 year old.
Marriage back then meant something entirely different.
Did you miss the elections? We are already pendulum-ing back the other way. It's what we do here. I really hope the Democrats win the POTUS next round while keeping the House but not gaining the Senate.
Both sides need to be perceived as winning often enough that we don't fall into a civil war. You don't want one party gaining and keeping a super majority for more then two years. Really not even the two years are acceptable but as long as it doesn't go beyond four.
In this day and age, we are so polarized that for one party to win to many times in a row will likely cause a civil war. That's bad for everyone regardless of your strip.
Hence, we aren't going to be the next Reich. That doesn't mean we won't nuke someone or they nuke us. Humanity will definitely nuke itself out of existence. It's not IF, but WHEN.
I think you guys should just shit or get off the pot, and have that damn civil war.
What would even be bad about a One World Government?
Most the global issues today come around because governments can't agree on things.
Changed your meds again, eh?
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
