Wouldn’t law enforcement getting away with crimes cause fear? It seems like it would show they are above the law and can act like bullies without repercussions.

Admitting a mistake and trying to make it right will gain trust.

I wouldn’t qualify using military grade equipment in Colorado for stealing two belts and a shirt justifiable.

I think devices need better security. Anything that JavaScript can access should be set to default values where they all equal null. Only once a user allows a certain website to access certain data will that data become available to that website. If every browser did this along with the apis for cellphones then users can finally regain control of what is collected.

Your proof is that you “personally know a lot of people who know and insist on not opting out”? That’s anecdotal evidence at best (aka not proof).

If it is a fact then show me the proof.

Just because people use a service doesn’t mean they have read the terms and conditions. Therefore, your anecdote is just that.

No need! I’m not presenting a hypothetical survey’s results without evidence. The person I was responding to is, unless they actually have such a survey. I asked for it and no one answered. Therefore, until there is a time with supporting evidence, we can’t even qualify the opinion as a theory, let alone a fact.

Is this anecdotal or do you have empirical evidence?

This is your opinion, unless you actually did a survey of violating a citizens privacy by big tech. Have you?

Aside from physical communication, every other type is achievable through computers. Does that mean the only way to resolve a misunderstanding is through physical communication?

An anti-gravity engine could be used to allow the use of quantum levitation to stabilize the craft in the earth’s magnetic field.

Yea, I wouldn’t trust them. A person could make one small mistake on the application and then they are screwed. The Air Force can then force them to work for them or convict them of a crime. It seems like a way to coerce computer scientists to work on government projects.

Does that mean every government agent that broke the law and spied on American citizens should be deported?

If coders are liable for a consumers use of the product, will that put other industries producers in jeopardy of legal trouble?
