Mostly just in the bulk, low barriers to entry, and pervasiveness(like a lot of things social media). The case of actors actually goes back a long way; state laws regarding compensation of child actors were spurred by the case of one who was popular in the 1920s and litigated with his parents over where the money wasn't in 1939. That case doesn't provide for takedowns; but it's also the case that filmmakers are normally looking for children to play characters; rather than to do 'candid' intense documentaries of them at home; so the degree of public exposure of private life is presumably deemed to be less; with the main issue being children who were...definitely...getting a solid education while on stage finding that all the money was gone when it became their problem.

Child-blogging, by contrast, seems to reward verisimilitude (if not necessarily truth) and invasiveness, relatively pervasive in-home mining for 'content', so presumably seems better served by removal-focused options; though there has definitely been talk about covering the economic angle in line with child actors.

I don't even know what the deal is with child beauty pageants, or how something you'd assume is a salacious bit of slander about what pedophile cabals are totally doing, somewhere, is actually a thing a slice of parents are into, way, way, into. Apparently that's a third rail to someone, though, as the only jurisdiction I'm aware of with significant restrictions on them is France.

Unless quantum computing becomes cheap and comparatively widely available quite quickly after becoming viable passwords seem like they'll be a manageable problem. Nobody likes rotating them; but it's merely tedious to do and the passwords themselves are of zero interest unless they are still being accepted. If it does go from 'not possible' to 'so cheap we can just go through through in bulk' overnight that could ruin some people's days; but if there's any interval of 'nope, the fancy physics machine in the dilution refrigerator is currently booked by someone with a nation state intelligence budget' you can just rotate older credentials.

Now, if you were hoping that encryption was going to save any secrets that are interesting in and of themselves that got out in encrypted form; then you have a problem. Those can't be readily changed and will just be waiting.

Good news everyone! The taxpayers don't have to pay that money. She will die penniless, cold, and hungry.

I agree. It should be forever. Just because some time passed, that doesn't mean I didn't work to create it. It is mine and I will only share it with you temporarily if you give me money. If I die, I should be able to have it written into my will that all of my creations die with me. Letting immortal corporations profit indefinitely off of my work is not something that I want.

(this is a thought exercise)

In other words, not really liable at all, but there is a chance they could be held liable. Whatever.

You speak as if objective reality is more important than subjective reality. Depending on the circumstances and who stands to benefit, the City will be found responsible some of the time and found not responsible at other times. It all depends... which is why humans and their social systems are so fucked up. "Who benefits" decides what reality will be for everyone else.

While there are bazillions of atoms smashing against the seawall at any one time, the seawall stands fast for decades and centuries.

And they shouldn't. That is not the issue. The issue is that people do not want to pay for what they ask for.

Several years ago, (4?) I was outside talking with some folks with the business out back. They were Verizon employees. One guy had 19 years, less than a year until retirement. Verizon sold that portion of their business to Frontier, who then vacated all of the pensions, and now, are in the process of selling that business unit back to Verizon, but without the requirements to pay for the promised pensions.

This kind of bullshit shellgame is happening all the time, not just where I can personally see. It is this theft which brings upon the call of "socialism" so that the other poors can pay the poors that were robbed by the over-privileged. Notice how the overprivileged NEVER want to pay their debts or obligations? Notice how they are continuously stealing? Fuck the "aristrocracy" They are sheltered cowards who bring up the bogeyman of "socialism" to distract us from taking back what was stolen from us: our labor (which costs us our lives).

It is easier to buy yachts and mansions when the thing you are selling have extra costs built in. I can see why you are not a captain of industry.

Excuse you? The entire reason for the Second Amendment was that the government could NOT equip enough militia. Your premise is extremely flawed.

If the government isn't regulated, then why should the population be regulated?

Fair is fair

There will be no more significant technological challenges defeated until the parasites are lifted from our shoulders. It looks like the parasites will ride us into death, so we are at the zenith of human technological advancement. It is all downhill from here if we are unable to get rid of the parasites who are so desperate for control.

Those are just words on paper. There is no objective law anymore. Legal and illegal are purely in the eyes of the beholder who has a very big gun.

You already know they are going to alter the deal again, I am unsure why you want to play that game.

Plus the whole 'fucking dystopian' angle. On the one hand we've got people bitching about 'civilizational decline'; but we want 'robot philosophers' teaching children? I'm not against the occasional scantronned multiple choice test; but outsourcing philosophy to save on those oh-so-expensive adjuncts seems like the sort of thing you only do to children being groomed for mindless servitude or because you've entirely given up on humanity as anything but an ingredient in pump and dump schemes.

That's really important for the sperm destined for the septic system, sure...
