To all the people that say hate speach should be banned, this is the inevitable outcome. Hate speech laws will be used by our morally bankrupt politicians to persecute opposition and protect and enrich themselves.

The protocol for how to subvert this type of tracking is all ready known. You have to use burrner phones and swap out every couple of weeks. Don't take any electronics to sensitive meetings.

Stupid people still believe in stupid things, that's not changed, the difference now is there is a sea of reputable sources for smart people.

Reddit has edited content, that IMO opens them up this. Once they start removing legal but undesirable content they are tacitly approving the content they haven't removed.

This wasn't an urgent crisis, the victims should have been notified before their privacy was infringed upon.

Breaking into someone's computer without their consent is wrong no matter the reason.

Relying on a judge's discression as to what is safe and what is good before you break into someone's computer is a terrible idea. There's a current federal judge that thought Firefox was a search engine, he's one in a pool of federal judges that would be approving FBI requests to fix you computer for your own good.

My turn for a straw man, it's like the FBI adding local dns entries to your system so you can't go to porn sites because one judge thinks porn is bad for everyone and stopping people from watching porn is good.

It doesn't matter if what they did had good intentions or that they made their actions public after they modified people's systems. The precedent this sets is that anything that a judge feels is "bad" can be removed from your system.

Is this like the phrase I've never slept with a 10 but I've slept with 5 2's

It's not overblown, they are modifying people's systems without their knowledge or consent, a warrant to do so should never have been granted. Whether their intent was good or not is irrelevant.

This smells of a case where they are looking to broaden their reach through precedence. They now can modify peoples systems if a judge feels it's "good" to do so.

Why do the Browns have a picture of Johnny Manziel on the middle of their field?

This is how you wash federal money and turn it into campaign donations. There is no way our politicians will turn off that spigot.

Things have cost, the expensive community college, ~5k for a full year, has to pay their teachers. There's not not some huge profit grab.
