The district attorney did not receive fair notice of what constitutes libel? Wasn't four years of law school sufficient notice? This is nothing more than lawyers protecting other lawyers here.
So Citizens United tells us that spending money is a form of speech. So not spending money is a form of silence. Is this judge saying that we don't have the right to not speak? More broadly, we see this all the time, where the right frequently insists that we spend our money in certain ways, which is now a form of compelling speech.
You may be right Thad, but just to respond to Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice masquerading as stupidity. Because there's a lot of that going around these days.
This article doesn't really attack forfeiture the way we'd like it to. Presumably these houses were bought at auctions which were advertised and to which the public was invited. So out of thousands of houses sold over the years, a handful going to policemen seems normal actually.
Verizon got what they wanted when they bought Tumblr: knowledge of each and every person's kinks. So now why would they need Tumblr anymore? Want to run for Congress? Better not cross Verizon! Oh, and the Russians probably got all that too when they hacked Yahoo.
Well, maybe not, but who knows? I'd sure rather it wasn't even a possibility.
This is really good and I eagerly await the other parts.
To individuals or small businesses, the industry behemoths might as well be the government because (1) they are orders of magnitude larger, (2) we can rarely say no, and (3) we have little to no direct influence over them.
From The Guardian: "Six4Three alleges the cache shows Facebook was not only aware of the implications of its privacy policy, but actively exploited them, intentionally creating and effectively flagging up the loophole that Cambridge Analytica used to collect data."
There's your tech dirt, and the reason I posted the link to the insider chat.
"It was reported here last week that, in 2012, Vance ordered his prosecutors to drop a promising criminal-fraud investigation against Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., who were suspected of misleading potential buyers of condos in the Trump SoHo building; the order came after their father’s attorney, Marc Kasowitz, paid Vance a visit. Soon after Vance’s office dropped the investigation, Kasowitz donated and raised a combined total of more than fifty thousand dollars for Vance’s reëlection campaign."

I for one am getting tired of these novelty legal letters. Also, in this case (as opposed to Bob vs HBO), it feels like punching down.

I don't know what UAE has to do with Jamal Khashoggi. It was Saudi Arabia's MBS ("Mohammed Bone Saw") who murdered Khashoggi.
Other than that, a fine article sir.

Re: Dear Verizon...
Yeah! As I like to say, "Stay in your lane." But they never do.
