  on Helicopter Footage Obtained By The ACLU Shows Pervasive Surveillance Of Peaceful Anti-Police Violence Protests

  I'm honestly a little confused, and know I'll get flagged into oblivion but here goes...

  • We expect to be able to film the police in public, but get upset if do it to us?

  Don't get me wrong, this shit drives me crazy, and all I can think of is: don't you have better things to do. I just don't understand getting upset at these specific actions, beyond being upset at them wasting time and money. To me, it is their follow up actions that are worth of being upset at.

  I feel like I am missing something, what is it?

  An honest question...

  on Attorney General William Barr Says Apple Isn't Doing Enough To Let The DOJ Check Out A Dead Man's Phones

  I have a simple honest question.

  Why are these proceedings always against iPhones?

  • Does Google just hand over information?
  • Is Android easier to crack than iOS?
  • Do bad people only carry iPhones?

  This all seems strange to me that every time this subject is debated, by anyone, it's always how Apple isn't providing enough support. It kind of scares me that Android is never mentioned in these things.

  on FCC Wants Delay In Net Neutrality Trial Due To Government Shutdown, But Isn't Likely To Get It

  My pessimistic brain is screaming:
  
  They're going to just sit around asking questions along party lines. Come to no resolution and say "Hey we did our jobs right? Can we move on now?"
