DOJ Announces Operation Publicity Seeker
from the not-quite-a- dept
Well, beyond going after file sharers and spammers, it appears that the Department of Justice wants to appear tough on all kinds of cybercrime, which is why they announced a massive "cyber-crime sweep." There's just one problem: it's not much of a sweep at all. Really, they seem to have just taken a bunch of cases -- many of which have been made public before, and bunched them all together in a press announcement. That's not a sweep, that's a pat on the back for doing what you've been doing. So, while it's good that they're trying to stop various online scams, it's hard to see how this qualifies as a sweep when most of the cases were completely separate and were done at different times over the last few months.

What if someone hacks into a fertility clinic and gets all the wrong sperm and eggs to mix up? Will we have mass abortions?

Either that, or we will have lots of people like you being born.
