These bugs can be defeated by aerial spray of species-specific viral infection. But that weapon has to be designed first. In 70-ies, the USSR by such means successfully combated Lymantria dispar invasion in Siberia, which devastated pine fo

I will be very happy to see a blight-resistant chestnut in the US as a result of some genetic engineering. I am even ready to donate for such a good cause if this effort will ever be crowdfunded by known biologists in the field. Heck, I am

I got no means to check that either. What stops Google from opting me out of my data, but continue to sell or use it in the background?

How can you check that you have been opted out and government really has no access to your private data? Think of government data stored permanently. Wnen you are opted out it is you who is opted out from access to your data, not the govern

Actually modern developments technically allow bot activism. If a legal bot can resolve your legal case, or (legalrobot for instance) can review your contract, why not to give bots power to represent your points and tirelessly petition?

Not that dangerous as it sounds in the US. In the UK, there are dangers for family life in mixed citizenship families, after brexit was decided.

Very funny. Russia is actually gated with the Internet through Sweden and Finland. It is really easy to wage cyberwars, sitting on the supply cable.
