What sort of mental gymnastics is this ? You can't invalidate investigative journalism just because of someone's political alignment and they didn't even make DisruptJ20 look bad they made it look like a bunch aggresive people who think it's they're job to bring the world back to balance.

I'm not even defending this whole dreamhost thing, it's wrong on many levels but your thinking will hurt you.

Ok, I understand. Thank you.

How is it a strawman exactly ? Is it ok to do anything you want just because you don't like trump ? It would be abuse if it was illegal surveilance, but this ? How exactly is this abuse ?

It's kinda late. This whole thing already blew up, and the articles brings nothing new to the table.

Also the person interviewed doesn't seem to know what a statistical distribution is.

I argue that you're doing them a disservice by not aknowledging them as the same thing and pointing fingers.

Probably not all people from that area have the gps on non-stop with facebook and google accounts signed in non-stop to receive those goody notifications.

What do you do in that case if you're the government ?

Just different means to the same end which depend on the laws governing a country.

Nobody forces them to use hardware either.

Wow, those chinese surely are totalitarian in the way they approach surveillance technology aren't they ?

Good thing we have nothing like that. Only just closed hardware with closed or with some parts open complicated software mostly made by a few corporations which tend to and have in fact in past coopoerated with governments without even thinking about their customers.
