I assure you, disabling one's transportation and, thus, reducing one's likelihood to arrive to work on time does not reduce delinquency. Neither are subprime lenders interested in reducing delinquency; rather, they rationalize suc

The effect of declining a case is to leave the lower court's decision in place. However, the lower court sided with Duguid, not Facebook. Here, the Supreme Court overturned that decision.

Regarding the first two, it's not just a matter of an existing relationship, but also consent. As to the latter, this was the effect, and likely will continue to be, until companies decide to implement changes in response to this rulin

The problem with that is, if you are going to automate spam, you can afford a burner. Or heck, just pay the $16 or so and hijack someone else's number.

I'm not so sure I agree. What happens when something better comes along? I don't trust Congress to know what's happening in technology today, let alone to keep legislation up-to-date with technical innovation.
