They point their guns at you if you get up in their face.

There's this invention called the telephoto lens. They'll never even know they are on Candid Camera.

In Massachusetts, there's an elected body called the Governor's Council that has veto power over pardons.

I'm starting the see the wisdom of this.

Constitutional amendment? I'm in if you are.

There's lots of companies in this game. Flock, Axon, Motorola, etc.

What happened to native Americans is why we should have a more restrictive immigration policy and we should enforce it.

Of course, the native American tribes warred on each other. Some tribes saw these new folks with more technology and likely thought to make allies of them against their enemies here. How could they know these pale folks on their huge wooden ships would be worse, long term?

If the Dems were serious, they would have done more in this regard. It's a talking point to drive people to the poles. Dem politicians love rich donors.

Exactly!

What, did you stop reading before the end of the fist line or something? She was given 2 months prior to people going to the poles.

Setup to fail!

Given 18 months, she probably would of had a much better campaign.

Lawsuit??? WTF? If there's not a law in place - enforceable and enforced by police dragging asses into court and/or jail - then that's the first thing that needs to be fixed, and pronto. For stealing the privacy of perhaps millions of people, a mere lawsuit isn't the correct response.

A correct response would be a fine large enough to represent an existential threat to the company, and/or a penalty which puts a C-suite occupant in jail. $5 million is a mere cost-of-business which - at something like $2 per person affected - is also an insult to the victims.

Oh look. A sitting congresswoman literally calling to "defund the police" on her own official government website.

Followed immediately by the same bullshit excusemaking:

Yeah like rich suburbs and high poverty urban areas have the same exact kind and amount of criminal activity, but the suburbs just flipped the evil bit to off and that's all we need.

See my other posts about politics being a magnet for morons.

If anarchist thugs were shooting at me, I might be a little testy about #resistance karens tracking my movements as I go about my work too.

Now how do we prevent official misconduct in this environment?

Maybe go back in time about 40 years to before the reagan amnesty and knock some sense into the gipper before he signed off on two generations of normalized casual lawbreaking re: border enforcement.

But let's also make the data they record useless for anything other than cherrypicking!

I actually had to check myself. But it seems both make sense.

Otherwise known as brainwashed. Or put another way, we now see so many advertisements everywhere we mentally filter them out - making those same advertisements useless to those creating them. And the situation of useless ads is all the advertisers' fault; couldn't happen to a better crowd.

Google is more "falling down"

depends on the user. regular users (the overwhelming majority) have much less control over what a phone can or cannot do vs a pc, and the increased functionality and user control on the pc implies a bigger attack surface. this trend has been going on for a while.

however this news isn't (necessarily) about banning pcs outright. this is just a new bank setting their terms and policy. this might be novelty in japan, but isn't really elsewhere in the western financial complex. e.g. ing (originally a lithuaninan bank, now operating in much of europe) works exclusively online, and it has been a while since their web access has been limited and for most meaningful operations requires mandatory identification and authorization through a phone app (on "certified" platfroms, namely apple and google). they're not alone, many traditional banks in europe are doing the same. the rationale is security but if that's the real reason is anybody's guess. it might be convenience (there are far more phone users than pc users), commercial strategy, a trojan horse, a pilot, an experiment, a conspiracy or just the way they prefer working. the main advantage for financial entities is ease of operations, less problems, more control. the advantage for the user is comfort and usually less comissions and fees or none at all. which can be a good deal. traditional banks at some point just changed the terms of service and suck it up, buttercup, which was when i stopped working with them. ing at least were straight about, built a very convenient system and offered a fiancial benefit to compensate.

the other remarkable bit is the lack of atcs for this new bank. ing never had any either, but you could always still draw cash from supported networks. however, cash is barely used anymore in most of europe anyway. japan is still very much a cash driven society so i if they don't have some similar deal they're not going to succeed, at least not in the every day consumer segment. maybe someone is intending to change exactly that.
