This is why USA has First Amendment. Using the law to enforce subjective standards of niceness is the first step to political suppression.

Way too optimistic in my view.

> I work in billing software for a publicly traded software company and this is a constant temptation. I'm never gonna do it because I'm not gonna blow up my career for a relative pittance, but I can't tell you how many times I've been annoyed that I couldn't act on private information and make ~$100k or so.

> These guys are like the kids who saw the Tide Pod challenges and decided to actually eat the pods. I bet insider trading is not as fun when you're unemployed and bankrupt.

And in jail.

This is very misleading particularly for those not familiar US laws. If you want to say publicly disclosed campaign contributions with no quid pro quo is bribery than say so but that's not most people's definition of bribery. Democracy requires campaigns and campaigns require money.

Highly skeptical of this take. Lots of allegations claiming various payments are really bribes When all is said and done there will be few true bribes found and those will likely be by rogue relatively lower level or little supervised employees Suspect this is a disgruntled employee with a good lawyer who dreamed up a way to squeeze Microsoft. Who doesn't hate or want to hate Microsoft ? Big companies are well aware of the massive liability and associated legal costs under US federal law for bribery (domestic and foreign) and no way are they going to conspire systemically to destroy themselves. There have already been well documented and publicized federal bribery cases against companies such as Walmart. No legal department is going to tolerate bribery

What about downloaded back up codes ? Phone push approval? U2f key? Authenticator app? Can't imagine complaining about being shut out if you didn't have at least one or all of these set up. Google even nags you about setting these up.

You are making too much sense.

Purging voter lists is not suppression unless you view dead people or those who have moved out of the voting jurisdiction on the voting rolls as legitimate voters. No different than a company purging email or address lists of outdated names

Please provide evidence of this? Lots of evidence in the form of entitlements to those of low income to the contrary.
