To me it all centers around: Was BYOD optional?

If they offered a company device and you refused, then i say you are on your own.

If they didnt offer one but you NEED it to do your job, then i say they are on the hook, as well as tax credit ramifications.

If they dont offer and you only use it as its a convenience to make your life easier, then again, you are on your own.

Furthermore, if you are optionally using your device for office work, they get to mandate policy on its use, up to and including MDM type control.

BYOD is just a bad idea. Companies should give employees the tools they need for their job, and forbid personal devices.

How to be a prick? ( well, a lucky wealthy prick.. but still a prick )

Blocking your phone at the tower does not stop you from posting your incriminating photos via wifi...

So you are back to proving my point, its all about what YOU think, what the others think is irrelevant.

While i agree it was a bit of an extreme example, the crusades were considered moral, and there is no question about them imposing their concepts of it on others.

There are many non-extreme examples that can be made with one part of the world thinking another part is totally backwards/immoral/etc, and none of them have the right to interfere with the others.

And i'm done here, some of us have productive things to do.

Not in the least. I happen to feel that meddling is wrong. Regardless of what is being imposed. ( i do happen to think censorship is bad, but its none of my business if another country does not support it )

Only to people who think you need to impose your values on others and the ends justify the ( illegal and immoral ) means.

I suppose you supported the crusades too.

Then what is 'my country' and 'my business', if you are so smart? ( and whatever your answer is, its wrong. )

Also, if you were to understand how china works, you dont have to create the tool, all you have to do is tell others its there to earn your [well deserved] fate. The fewer nosy people left in the world like you, the better the world would be.

Forgot to add, i bet you are for no borders for sovereign nations either. Just make it one happy world with rainbows and unicorns.

You would be pissed if china's citizens interfered with your rights and laws.

Hypocritical pin-headed idiot.

It is not that simple, both legally or morally, ( of course to a simpleton as yourself you may not fully grasp what you are suggesting ). Its too bad you cant be extradited to china, then executed, for your interfering transgressions.

Its not your country, keep your nose out of it.

You just said that its OK to interfere with other countries simply because you felt its right, which proves my point. Even a child could figure out that one.

I do hope some other country comes and interferes with you, because they "feel its right". Would serve you right.

Oh, and i never said 'take over', might want to learn some reading comprehension.

Even better, buy it on the way to the protest. Using cash of course.

I didnt bother reading the EFF advice but if you take your own stuff to a demonstration, you are a fool. You never know what may happen, you go with a minimal amount of items with you. ID ( required to avoid many vagrant arrest laws ), a few bucks in cash for a burger if you are stuck waiting on a ride from jail ( or the hospital ).. Hide your car keys ON your car.. No jewelry or a watch. A few contact numbers in your pocket, in case you are unconscious when found.

Thanks for proving my point.

Technically, yes.

However, citizens in the us do have the right of free speech, and some would say that 'copyright restrictions' violate that right in the first place, so its not really a fair comparison.

Simple answer : NO.

Longer answer: Not everyone wants to burn mobile data time just to listen to local radio stations while they are out and about. Besides mobile data issues, soon home bandwidth caps will shrink down to ludicrous levels, unless you are consuming the ( extra charge ) content from your provider.

But also on the consumers of electricity.. Just as the feds want. Bleed us dry.

It all trickles down to the 'guy on the street in the end, and we are the ones that pay..
