True...but it was always fake privacy. Network monitoring was always happening from the beginning. ISPs have been keeping logs since forever. Netflow has been around for 25 years. I guess the Millennials on Vice are just discovering it.

Yeah he was conflating copyright with closed source with networking. Very confusing.

VPN providers sell their connection information. It is a additional revenue source. People who pay for VPNs are amusing.

Um, no. Networks were NEVER PRIVATE. I am shocked people are so ignorant about networks. Network monitoring has been going on from day one.

Networks are not anonymous. The idea that the Internet is some sort of anonymous thing is some sort of joke. Anonymity is anthesis to networks. If you send data through a network it will be tracked. It has to be, that is how networks work. I guess people are going to be shocked when I tell them mobile phone providers also sell this information.

How is this fraud? It is illegal robocalling, but only you are claiming it is fraud. The FCC isn't.

The Democrats are still racist. That is literally half of their platform.

That's nice. How is this vote tampering? The FCC didn't say it was. They said it was illegal robocalling (which it was). So why do you?

The moveon.org calls and texts are illegal too then? I am confused why you think one is illegal and one is not?

How is this vote tampering?

The robocalls are accurate. The voting rolls are accessible to third parties like law enforcement, bill collectors, etc, depending on the state. So if you go on the voting rolls for the first time your information may be used for other purposes.

100% correct. I get moveon.org texts all the time and also calls. They are sending out millions of them. What you need to do is to respond to the texts. Someone actually reads the responses. I abuse them regularly.

who would pay to influence people at slashdot? There are literally like 100 guys that visit here and they are all IT guys. Not influencers or decision makers. Just middle aged IT guys. You guys see Russians everywhere.

Yeah, they should have waited until next week until version 1.2 was released, right?

Yeah, what idiots. Why didn't they just send a human instead of a robot? It would have saved money! Classic Slashdot.
