"what they see as crime". I suppose if they are law enforcement officers or officers of the court, perhaps even legislators, but just because something isn't mundane doesn't make it a crime, or even a possible crime. The unusual isn't illegal. There comes a time for common sense over paranoia. Yes, wasting police time is a crime, and if something doesn't look like an actual crime then the likelihood is that it isn't.
I dislike the DMCA, but if there is going to be an attempt to "improve" it I wouldn't trust it to come from Tillis. Perhaps if Ron Wyden were involved I would think differently.
"It's not like people didn't warn Australia how all of this would play out (just like people warned various European countries). I don't know why each one expects a different result."
It's the same around the world, politicians and leaders are beholden to to corporate interests, in this case the media. Even if they know better, when the money talks, they respond.
To me it looks like everything else Trump has done, something to help his re-election. In this case by creating a new Cold War, with China this time, with the proviso that everyone should be scared and only Trump can keep them safe. Everything else is just a side benefit for him.
I mostly have respected Chomsky, but that was tainted a bit with his support for Shiva Ayyadurai and his claim to have invented email. Now I question Chomsky's support of anything.
Security Now did their assessment and agreed that the Google/Microsoft API was well done for preserving privacy. On the other hand I wonder what you think about Bruce Schneier's take on it... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2020/05/me_on_covad-19_.html
...which appears to consider contact tracing apps as theatre.
Paley tried to push this "impartiality" on his CBS radio reporters in the 1930s who like to condemn Nazis every chance they could. It was all about not offending anyone. The reporters continued to do it.

The anonymous source should have just been named to the suit, no?
Voter rolls
In general, voter rolls have always been available to campaigns for campaigning purposes.

The same around the world

Open Source
They should have gone with LibreOffice.
Same old Trump

Will that be followed up by a panel looking at anti-liberal bias on cable news channels that call themselves "Fair and Balanced"?
Contact tracing
Security Now did their assessment and agreed that the Google/Microsoft API was well done for preserving privacy. On the other hand I wonder what you think about Bruce Schneier's take on it...

...which appears to consider contact tracing apps as theatre.
Neither is Bruce Schneier
He basically considers them theatre and worthless.

Finland has the right idea...
Finland is doing it right, open source the vaccine.

Russia has been pushing this nonsense...

Impartiality?
