It was rational and valid but it was also dictated by legislation. We had to. I don't consider my reasoning to be sophistry at all - your claim that Snowden/Miranda broke no laws is simply a sleight of hand to avoid the thrust

That is a fair point and well reasoned. I look at the issue less conspiratorially than some of the other posters. Whenever the law is changed, a party somewhere, is always quick to claim the political elite will benefit. In it's curre

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I attempted to keep the issue as distinct as possible from the actions of Edward Snowden and just focus on that one incident including the reasoning behind it.

Absolutely not and under UK legislation that was safely put to bed, and rightly so. That would allow a Foreign Intelligence Agent, Thief or Fence to transit goods between two parties as long as both parties referred to themselves as journal

You are confusing two separate issues. Social Networks and Search Engines are not sources of administrative data. A CEO cannot bury that he was sued as the matter is a public record. Should he be able to have that information removed fro

I doubt Tyler Durden would spend a lot of time on Hacker News railing against corporate culture. HN is subsidised by a pure market economy entrepreneurial construct- a construct in which advertising has a firm place at the table. It is ver
