Those warrants and subpoenas have the value of toilet tissue as soon as you try to execute them off-shore.

So, Microsoft is moving off-shore, then?

Because if for some reason they decide to remain in the jurisdiction, it might reveal a flaw in the analogy. Namely, a person has less at stake in expatriating to Amsterdam than a massive corporation.

So... why is it the people who upload and host this stuff do not have consequences?

I think that's a legitimate TOR angle, actually. In order to leverage the law you need to know where they physically are. TOR hides that, per design.

There's a case here, folks.

TOR is inhibiting legal remedies.

Otherwise when he talks about making gay people illegal, forcing women to be barefoot and pregnant, abolishing access to birth control and abortion people might question why this Canadian is pretending to be a Texan with values completely the opposite of the nation he held a passport in.

It's always nice when someone self-identifies as someone who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Comment Most disappointing for me is manipulating the feed (Score 2) 160

Facebook's efforts to manipulate the feed are really disappointing. If they'll do it for jollies, then they'll damn sure do it if someone pays them to or if the government orders them to.

Imagine an 'American Spring'. Imagine the government not only spying on Facebook users communicating about it, but requiring that Facebook actively suppress any positive comments about it.

That shit ain't right.

It happens because there was something wrong with the zygote sufficient that the body aborted it on its own.

I covered that part already.

"Just leave it alone and give it a chance" isn't so difficult a standard for reasonable people to apply. Note, too, that this doesn't inhibit contraception in any way.

If your pill only targets those zygotes that would have been lost anyway, then I can see no problem with it.
