I'm somewhat surprised that no one else has mentioned this-
The AG have given Media Matters the perfect answer in his document demands- "We have no responsive documents relating to ....."
I'm probably tilting at windmills here, but could we please stop using 'disappear" this way? There are many language constructions that work as well, or better, than that single word-
"..court orders to hide content.."
"..court orders cause content to disappear"
etc.
Idly musing-
I wonder about OAN's reaction if DirecTV said "OK fine, we'll carry your programming. The carrying charge is $150k/day; please pre-pay by the month."
I'm not sure correcting a wrong counts as a "victory" and it certainly shouldn't cost the victim to achieve the correction. In this case Miller was the victim of law enforcement malpractice.
And they did vote. Down, at least for the moment.

"On Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to temporarily suspend the implementation of a policy they approved last week allowing police to arm robots with explosives."
I often wonder if trump knows about (or understands?) the word salad* that lawyers are filing under his name.

Why is it that the most vocal conservatives demand a Free Market until the market stops buying their stuff? Then it's someone else's fault, not the quality of their goods.
Apparently “Kilobyte”, “Megabyte”, “Gigabyte”, “Terabyte”, etc have been coopted to mean 1000, 1000^2, 1000^3, 1000^4 (etc). Because … “Metric” reasons.
Well, no.
Many things, including radio, telecom, and data storage have always used powers of 10. It was some time later that computing decided that powers of 2 were better for it's use. Remember those "540 megabyte" drives that only held "528mb"? Those were 540,000,000 bytes, or exactly 540 times 10^3 times 10^3. Or the 56k modem which sent data at 56000 bits/second, not 57344 bits/sec. Or megaHertz... or kilometer... ("kilo" has meant 1000 for a long time, "mega" = 1,000,000, etc...)
The fact that a lot of people couldn't tell the difference, or assumed that MB was different from mb, isn't the fault of the nomenclature. The IEC stepped in to clarify things.
It appears that one thing most (all?) of those have in common is that their business is to sell Internet connectivity, not TV/streaming/"enhanced-services". Might have something to do with it. (IIRC, they also all get high marks for quality of service and responsiveness.)
"Let us not attribute to malice and cruelty what may be referred to less criminal motives."

(the effect is the same, although the "less criminal" part could easily be debated here)
This seems to imply a very different meaning to "service contract" than what's common. Usually, it means that you pay one price for all and ANY service a machine needs to make it work. One price, the same every month, and if they can't make it work, they just haul in a replacement or at least credit you for the monthly cost until it does.
The McD/Taylor version seems to mean nothing like that.
(I wonder if any state's Lemon Law might apply... probably not but deserves a little thought.)
it appears that the Times has been actively malicious toward Project Veritas
Which is both their right (as long as within the bounds of law) and also irrelevant.

Counter offer?

Say it ain’t so. I could, but I'd be lying.

Sorry, I forgot the tags on that.

What happens next? We all get a double popcorn and set back to watch.

Dear Senator Lankford, Someone in your office is sending idiotic letters to the media, probably to make you look bad. Yours, A faithful Constituent
And of course, the next time Hawley brings up anyone infringing on some of his friend's content, this will pop right up.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person, I wonder what his cow thinks about it?

Encryption? We're using the well-understood double ROT13 algorithm.
Re: 'Look over there, a distraction!'
What publicity would the AG who's leaving office care about? They won't be there to enjoy the fun.
