Techdirt's Mike Masnick has been all over this issue for a while now. He's featured at least two legal analyses of the issue, both of them seem to show that ICE is way, way on the wrong side of the US constitution.
Also note that Masnick has some very persistent detractors, that he allows to post anonymously. Those detractors are vociferous on this issue, but have basically resorted to weird ad hominum arguments, only occasionally coming up for air to cite some weird legal arcana that don't seem to apply, at least to the more logical among us.
The number and persistence of Techdirt Trolls is quite remarkable. Why do the trolls have so much time an energy to devote to particular issues? It's beyond the ken of mortal man.
- colanderman 16y agoI get the feeling that trolls alienate most of their IRL friends and thus have lots of time to spend trolling which would otherwise be spent socializing.
- cheez 16y agoThe trolls may also be paid agents. An acquaintance of mine runs a company that assists in astroturfing.
- knieveltech 16y agoYeah? There a lot of money in astroturfing these days? What's the client list look like? They hiring?
- cheez 16y agoWell, he's not a friend so I wouldn't know the details. Last I heard, he had some political clients.
- eru 16y agoFancy becoming an undercover reporter?
- knieveltech 16y agoThat sounds kinda cool actually.
