I wonder which dissidents' comms app depended on -cacert for internal security.
Oh, journalism (the old-school kind).
Imagine wanting "developing sources" to be illegal, much less overseas.
Do you want them to succeed?
Unless we get rid of permanent corporations and implement marketable torts it seems like we have to say people own their own data.
Neutrality would be ideal but the reality is these corporations will screw over their customers in ways they never could have imagined for a cheap buck and long after the purchase agreement is signed.
If all the car companies do this are we really going to say "stay home if you don't want to be tracked"? Many American liberties require travel to exercise so this cannot be the solution (should we choose to continue natural rights).

Classic rent seeking and captured regulators.
Corruption for as far as the eye can see.
You can tell by that level of specificity that the idea is out of the social sciences, not the physical.
Barring a comet impact or black-mat event, nothing happens geologically with that level of specificity.
Good for the geologists for moving on geological time and not succumbing to a propaganda campaign.

Nah, mate, that's the definition of Interstate commerce.
RIP Dallas data centers.
Locked bootloaders == ewaste.
