They are not and he wasn't talking about the magnitude of moral failure I think, but how it provokes an instinctual mistrust of the accused, more than other accusations.
Fair point. It was just a bit off putting and made me feel that the author has lost perspective a bit.

#13Orin Kerr is the country's leading attorney on Computer Crime Law(1) and The Volokh Conspiracy writers are a powerhouse in Constitutional Law generally. Its almost certainly too late for Vachani and Power Ventures; Facebook have destroyed them, and any ruling is only symbolic, but for the rest of us, a correct ruling is essential for the future of a free Internet.

#15Because of this I discovered the book 'Chaos Monkeys' and immediately bought it!
The top Amazon review decided it for me..
Amazingly accurate coverage of Facebook's internal culture, the good, the bad, and the ugly. (Plus much, much more!) https://www.amazon.com/review/R2GQCWUZKVOY10/ref=cm_cr_dp_ti...

It's not the same, but it is a powerful metaphor. Wanted email is to consensual relations as spam is to physical violation.
No, spam is more akin to door-to-door soliciting.

Yeah, only door-to-door soliciting to a point where you have to jostle a crowd of people whenever you try to exit your property through the main door, and they try everything in their power not to budge.

why not?
Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
