What is the name of the person ultimately responsible for this decision?
- kunai 14y agoThere is no single party responsible. There are many. The entire government is to blame. We are talking about people, bureaucrats, who haven't the slightest idea of how a hard disk works or how their computer connects to the internet, and they think that they know everything about computers and can single-handedly swipe technological rights out of the American people. See Carmen Ortiz above. It's the entire government. The sooner people understand this, things like these won't happen.
- afterburner 14y agoWithout corporations wanting this to happen in the first place, this specific example of corruption doesn't happen. Let's not forget the party to whom this benefits the most.
- kunai 14y agoHow's about instead of calling out a specific party, we all try and fight the onslaught of corporate influence and the government bending over and answering to the companies' every whim? Seriously, calling out political parties does NOTHING unlessy you're prepared to fight against those parties. See my other comment about "misguidedness and delusion" for more details.
- afterburner 14y agoWell, I mean corporations in general, so I certainly endorse reigning in their influence in general, not just a specific company.
- redwood 14y agoGood point. You highlight the inherent danger of corporations: the mob has never been good at applying justice. Individuals, with accountability and transparency have always been better than the mob which is concerned only with profits.
