That is true - the problem isn’t the photo though it is the false endorsement. A false endorsement in any medium is illegal.

Again not true at all. If I take a picture of Times Square with 1000 people in it, I don’t need permission from anybody there. I can sell the photo as a stock photo or otherwise with absolutely no permission. The same principle is true for

Not sure what church and state had to do with this but... If you can’t leave the public sector for the private sector nobody would work for government. If you want the best and brightest you need to hire from the biggest companies because t

You can use all truth and still deliberately drive people to come to a very false conclusion. The dude is the CEO of a cybersecurity firm and has a wealth of experience.

I can’t believe the amount of conspiracy nonsense pervading HN recently. Seriously what is going on? We’re pushing a zerohedge article? What’s next, infowars?

They do matter, completely. Has the data from national security programs ever been used for non-national security purposes (ie in public policing for instance)? It is rare if not unheard of in most western countries. Conversely, it is used

by jjcon 6y ago
No why would you? The US has checks and balances to minimize abuse and keep data requests limited to the national security domain (like most countries in the western world or eyes alliances). The other has no such checks on those powers.

You can also sideload on iOS (without jailbreak), I do it all the time but for some reason no one is talking about that either.
