If you don't put the information out there, then they won't have it. It's a simple cause and effect relationship. Not giving up this information will likely cause you to not be abl…

That's not "moving goalposts" as you put it. Are you saying that you believe that they would allow such an enormous loophole in such a bill?

there's only one offense in the bill that includes that thread: knowingly certifying fraudulent data protection reports. That's what it says, but one would have to believe that fai…

You are both right and wrong. Flappy Bird indeed had over 50MM users (in fact it had over 100MM users), and therefore its owner would have criminal liability under this law regardl…

It starts with the claim that this law could put Flappy Bird on the hook for decades of prison time. I rebut, and you say (paraphrased) "no, read the law, anyone with 1MM users cou…

Not any bill, just bills with breathtaking fines and possible imprisonment.

You're referring to that specific provision, but again you aren't considering the fact that any business interested in complying will have to have an attorney review the law, and t…

That's just not accurate. You should read pages 26-33 in detail. It wants external auditors to come in, and while consultation with a lawyer isn't required , companies would offens…

Perhaps you could take some personal responsibility, and, you know, not give your email address to sites/apps that you don't want to have it?

Most competent lawyers cost $400+/hr. For them to review your internal compliance policies and procedures (including your opt-in/out procedures. etc), privacy policy, etc. you coul…

A closer reading indicates seem to be correct that the criminal provisions only apply to those larger entities. However, ALL of the provisions in pages 26-33, which are significant…

That seems to be an entirely incorrect interpretation. Any app with more than 1 million users would fall under this law. You're simply reading it wrong, as the OP of this thread in…

The plain language of the law says that your interpretation is not correct. The criminal provisions apply to companies with over $1 billion in revenue or those those that have 1M o…

I'm not GP, but it looks like the more burdensome things are on pages 26-33, and they are too lengthy to post here. I can see compliance costing significant sums that would be out …

I'm not going to let this go, because you are trying to deliberately spread information about how our legal system works that is factually false, and that is damaging both to HN an…

They strongly implied that Mueller probably lied because they didn't have to tell the truth and no one could prove it. The comment literally says: "They didn't lie, they don't have…

You're actually trying to argue that judges have an active decision making role in deciding whether or not a grand jury issues an indictment? You're really destroying your own cred…

And then the grand jury, completely independent of any judge, makes a decision as to whether or not to indict. Your argument is like saying the referees decide who wins the Super B…

Grand juries indict people, not judges.

How the fuck is Mueller and his team going to lie The comment you are replying to specifically says that they didn't lie, and didn't have to. This and your other comments seem to i…

Conspiracy and RICO charges necessitate many low level indictments to demonstrate to the court that there is probable cause to the indict the bigger fish If you cannot arrest the p…

I think his point was that such a heavy handed policy that runs contrary to the views of most of the world's population is problematic. Since there will be situations where employe…

I dare say this is a horrible comparison. There are no circumstances under which employees are expected, or even required, to have sex at work (presumably at least not at a mainstr…

"As you might guess, this means that I don't do business with commercial airlines." It must be wonderful to be able to fly private, but that isn't an option for most of the people …
