wrt. livestreaming of peoples' porches, etc., I don't think you've got much to complain about there. You're out walking in a public place so you shouldn't have an expectation of privacy.
I find it very hard to believe that the gated community the wealthy live in, secured by the guard checking ID on the way in, is still considered a "public place", when you or I sure as hell could not easily gain access.
Go ahead. Try and set up your own livestream camera in front of the mayors house. See how long it lasts. Just because it's in "public place" doesn't mean it's going to be tolerated. And if you really take the "public place" argument to the extreme, it would be perfectly legal for the gove

LOL - you think the gormless web monkeys who wrote that code even know what an RFC is? You might as well ask them to tell you how the computer they're writing their crap on works at the hardware level.

Funny enough, in my country you actually can have that expectation of privacy. Or rather, the expectation that nobody has the right to take your picture without your permission and/or compensating you for it.
Trust me, photographers usually have quite the legal bullshit ready at hand whenever they're invited to take pictures of anyone...

Twitter is what you want it to be: You decide whom you follow and I get a lot of useful information and entertainment from the people I follow.
That's not the problem. In my mind, there are real-world implications when social media platforms actively engage in the spread of lies, misinformation, deceit, and alternative facts. Echo chambers and safe spaces are of no help either.
What "useful information" can one get from social media that isn't available from a more trustworthy source? Do we have a responsibility to seek out (and vet) that type of information rather than have it delivered to us in bite-sized pieces while we take a dump? Don't you se

What are you talking about? People do those things not social media platforms. A valid criticism would be their policies regarding user banning/censorship and I personally don't agree with Twitter's but that's not what you said.
Social media is just an enabler, whatever people post there is just their responsibility. I get interesting information for me from people who are creators, people whose o

No, it looks like the house is going to impeach Trump because he appears to have used his position and power to solicit help in an election from a foreign government.
