Quite frankly it didn't put enough restrictions on the various "national security" agencies, and so while it may help to stem the tide of irresponsible usage by many of the lesser-impact agencies, it doesn't do the same for the agencies that we know will be the worst offenders (and have been the worst offenders).

He did something: add national security loopholes
The worst possible offenders aren't really being reined in by this executive order.
"next issue to tackle"
It's been the next issue to tackle since at least October 26th, 2001. They have no accountability. Adding these carve outs is just making it harder to get accountability.

I wouldn't complain if this happened without needing this kind of legislation.
That said I do agree that people like her would be in a pickle and I don't think it should necessarily be straight banned, but instead politicians in her situation and their closest associated people should have their trades regularly audited for insider trading.
If the entertainment industry was a car, Netflix is a truck that keeps backing up and repeatedly t-boning the door of quality.
It made more than a dent.
I would hope after Pence's life was threatened that he'd continue to do the opposite of what Trump wants him to do.
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But even when I do I'm still working, just on my own computer doing totally unrelated stuff.
I actually work harder (in general) than before because now I don't have to commute, 1-2 hours more a day I can spend getting stuff done
Except Standard Oil has been broken up 13 years earlier and 1924 was smack in the middle of Prohibition and the illegal transportation of alcohol was called bootlegging. Both the breakup of Standard Oil and the alcohol ban are written down in legal documents, so we can confirm their existence wasn't sensationalized.
Bootlegging would be the only part that could have been sensationalized, but I see how people drink today and I don't think thousands of years of human behavior with alcohol was sensationalized, leading me to a conclusion that we as a society wouldn't just give up alcohol for a decade, bootlegging was almost certainly not sensationalized.
If the contemporary context wasn't the above, I might have agreed with the implication of sensationalization. Due to that contemporary context however it doesn't read like that.
Wait what? Is it just because it's a tycoon game?
I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.
Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.
TF? (aka fuck'em) That seems like the USD price is probably going to rise too then. USD 9.99 right now for me and that's AUD 15.41.
AUD 33 would be more than doubling it for me, just like Disney more than doubled my barely used subscription (I instantly cancelled that).
One Piece is going to have real live action now methinks.
