  Re: Sucks to be a bad parent

  That is part of the point, FB did not make it clear that further purchases would be authorized by what the parent/child thought was a one time purchase. Most other companies make that clear from the outset or give the option to set it as one time purchase or full authorized for any purchase.

  Re: FOIA???

  Uhm... How about you actually read the article...
  
  " I've fired off a FOIA request asking for the details of these "seized" domains and the communications with those industry partners. Should ICE ever decide to obey the law and respond to the FOIA, we'll share it here. I wouldn't recommend holding your breath."
  
  Straight from the last paragraph of the article.

  Re: Re: isn't that why they called it "SPYWARE"?

  Uhm... Firefox is no longer a good example here. they include a lot of tracking and while they claim they do not sell it, their sponsors have unlimited access to it and can use or sell it as they see fit. Yes you still can disable almost all of the collecting but some of this requires a level of knowledge that most users do not have.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Not sure about the laws where this happened, but in Ohio, supposedly when an Officer does something that breaks the law (Bribery in this example) they automatically lose their protections afforded to LEO's at the time they commit the crime as determined by the victim of the crime, not later in court, though for conviction the court has to agree.
  
  I used the word "supposedly" because that is what the laws state but it is almost never enforced. I could not find a single example anywhere in Ohio where it was enforced, though my search was not the most thorough.

  Re: Re:

  Also, a number of LEO organizations got slapped on the wrist for setting people up to be busted under the laws, yet none of the ones that were tricked into it were removed from the sex offender lists. We are talking the "Under-aged person" starting the sex talk through chat/text. then when the person who was setup responded in anyway including telling the "under-aged person" no, they were arrested and most took plea deals to keep from losing everything.

  "
  Defendants’ agreement has a plainly anti-competitive effect and has no rational economic justification, as they are willing to lose revenue from conservative organizations and individuals like Freedom Watch and those similarly situated to further their leftist agenda and designs to effectively overthrow President Trump and his administration and have installed leftist government in this district and the 50 states.
  
  Citation needed. "
  
  More like "Reality check" needed, and in this case it failed every time!

  Re:

  Unfortunately, the case your are describing is happening in my City and will end up with the LEO getting a slap on the wrist unless another LEO agency (not local) gets involved.
  Most of the local (County and City) LEO's think this is fine, even the "Good Cops."
