Comment Except that it's a protocol, not a server (Score 4, Interesting) 100

Google "Chat" is a protocol much like "SMS". It's not a service in and of itself but the underlying carriage for services to ride on top. Those services should absolutely include encryption but that is not the protocol's job to handle. "Joe Westby is Amnesty International's Technology and Human Rights researcher" Sounds like this research should do a little more research.

Comment Re:Even more hazardous linking... (Score 4, Insightful) 308

Regardless if it's $90,000 or $900,000 or $0 doesn't change a thing. I know by word of mouth there are hookers down on Robinson. If I said "hey, I'll give you $90 if you tell me where the hookers are." doesn't make it any less legal for who I am asking to tell me. The hookers are breaking the law, not the guy who knows where they operate. This case doesn't involve a single reproduction or copy of copyright material. It is simply a link, directions how to get there.

Comment Exclusive iPhone contract... (Score 1) 551

AT&T brought this upon themselves. They HAD to have an exclusive contract to carry the iPhone and now it's time to pay the price. I find it very hard to give a flip about their strained network when if the iPhone load had been spread across multiple carriers this wouldn't have become an emergency issue for AT&T.
