Except in this system you will get penalized (lose income) for not supporting the government in power. That's not exactly how it works in a standard capitalist and democratic system.

I wonder if this is happening because as carriers make less revenue from voice and as people use voice calls less and less, they're trying to recover part of that revenue from these scam companies that buy their premium plans to allow

I think we've had too few antitrust actions by governments. Also, companies in a position of monopoly or near-monopoly in any market should not be allowed to buy out its smaller competitors, either.

It's because the U.S. government is so corrupt right now that none of the existing large organizations/corporations will ever be punished the same way Enron was, unless the political landscape and system changes significantly. T

It's obvious the 5 (9/14) Eyes are coordinating this and have been doing it for a while, way before starting to make public statements together about it. They are trying to make it look like "everyone's doing it" wh

It's the strategy Microsoft employed with android OEMs too, except Microsoft actually paid them and/or gave them a deal in which the first OEMs to accept the licensing came out on top. Once that was done it was much easier for Mic

Yeah but even if they use e2e, which btw was found to be flawed at the protocol design level by prof. Matthew Greene and his team, they also automatically back-up the messages to iCloud with no way to disable that without disabling the w

The cheap CPC and cpm is why Google and Facebook would never consider doing that. Especially Google I've noticed recently that they try to be as misleading as possible to new advertisers to get them to pay a lot of money for crap as ta

I dont think Google was fined billions over privacy violations, just antitrust ones and only in the EU. In the US Eric Schmidt's constant lobbying to Obama got them off the hook for the antitrust investigation even though the FTC staff

How do you tell if something goes wrong? I think what's often missing in these discussions is a need for automatic audits, too, even if not full audits initially but only for a small sample. If there is anything wrong found in that fir

Amazon hasn't had the cheapest prices for a few good years now. They're taking advantage of the fact that they have what I like to call "brand inertia". The problem is brand inertia is not infinite. If you no longer do t

Good luck to the government changing everyone's biometrics now. This is why biometrics should never be used for something like this, especially when it requires a centralized entity to store all the biometric data, making it a very a
