If Section 230 were revoked, our defamation liability exposure would likely require us to be much more conservative about who and what types of content we allowed to post on our services.
I would phrase that a little differently, because as it is idiots will say "Yes! We want you to be more conservative!"
It's telling that you think the victims of police violence are the ones who need to change their behavior. Especially since black people are being killed for the crime of sleeping in their own homes and walking down the street.
You seem to be assuming I don't agree with the comment. I do agree with it, I just don't see the value in presenting it to more or less the same audience over and over again.
I think we've all read this comment by now, maybe no need to continue posting it on every story having something to do with law enforcement, encryption, or phones.
And what happens when a 16 year old gets his 13 year old brother to record himself having sex with an 11 year old girl? Cuz that's where this will end up.
Hopefully we can come up with a law that makes it clear small children cannot legally consent to sexual activity without criminalizing sexting among teens.
It's not a matter of IF, only a matter of WHEN they pull your name out of the hat for "random sampling" to ensure that the people are playing by their rules.
Only on an infinite time scale. In the long run, we're all dead.
So, I'm at work in Gibraltar while my flatmate remains in Spain and my girlfriend is in the UK. They're all authorised to use the account by the definition you just described.
If that's a temporary arrangement perhaps. If your girlfriend lives in the UK and you live in Spain, that is not the same household.
Besides that, it's false advertising unless the police are incompetent or the company has an illegal conspiracy to have police insiders help them—the company would know that competent police would never allow them to communicate with seized devices.
I have not investigated at all so this is pure speculation, but it could be a dead man switch, which would not require any kind of communication.
I am co-inventor of a method for digitally lending content without reproduction
I don't believe you. Once you send that content somewhere else, it isn't the same bits, even if you deleted it at the original source at the same time.
So you don't want them to lend out ebooks. That means they would have to give them away. They can't afford to purchase and then give away copies, so you're suggesting they should buy a copy of a book, and give away unlimited copies of it online? How long do you think they could last before they got sued out of existence doing that?
Drones
Something tells me many police departments would LOVE to deploy one of these on drug raids.

Or...
will other museums decide not to do such scans in the first place, to avoid having to release them?

Re: Re: Maz fears biz will have to answer to customers.
Decent fan fiction, but could do with more character development. 6/10.

Presumably that household would need to set things up so everyone has access to the 2FA to continue using the account.

Re: when a noble cause goes bad!
What an optimistic viewpoint. I hope you're right (also there is for some reason a silent 'c' in that word - "indicted").

Citation needed. I see no mention that the copy must be a physical object.
