If the share holders knew about it then yes they should get a hair cut. Since they didn't it makes much more sense to hold the CEO liable. In theory shareholders can replace a CEO but in practice it is just about impossible. The theory where the CEO skips all liability, as is sometime the case in the US, is a recipe for this behavior to continue.
Yes you are correct. What are the costs compared to the benefits? Is the additional privacy going to be worth it? If we discover a few years from now that European companies are sharing roughly the same amount of data with other companies as their American counterparts, just documenting it better, have you gained anything?
About 50% of small business survive their 5th year and roughly 30% survive to their 10th year. The concern is the drip/drip effect of more and more regulation making those numbers even worse. In addition you may be saying to a poor or middle class person that the money costs of starting certain types business are not longer in reach due to much higher costs. A large well established business is in a much better position to weather these costs so the wealthy get wealthier. What are the costs compared to the benefits?
I was under the impression that for quite a few people, possibly including the people at SpaceX, the 'F' doesn't stand for Falcon or Friendly or Fantastic or ...
Yes but Google can always decide that because of x or x + 1 you are not in compliance and the real reason is your politics but they will never admit to it. Because Gab has more conservatives one real question is google always going to find reasons to deny when some of the same stuff is happening on twitter etc? Also does google get to decide that something say fails TOS because of support of say someone like Trump just not as famous? Does google get to decide what "such content" is? Does google get to decide who gab bans from gab's network or just which posts are censored?
You jest about WalMart but actually if they are a monopoly then yes they could be though of as common carrier. A much better solution is to break them into pieces.
The Mars Society has been doing a reduced version of this for several years now with different groups of volunteers. I think they use two different locations, with one being in a Antarctic like location.
??? The term "Welfare State" was not what captured my attention. The whole article reads like very modern vocabulary. Here is an article on how your vocabulary can be used to predict age/gender/personality.

"... eroded democracy and social justice, and savaged the welfare state with austerity...". The article just reads like very modern terminology like it was written by someone in their twenties or thirties. Not that people's vocabulary cannot change over time but it seems odd.
Dear lord a dozen countries could use this style of "evidence" to support the notion that the BBC(British Broadcasting) is deeply involved in nefarious election influencing. I believe in freedom of speech including Russia's ability to talk and influence. All the evidence not directly related to hacking is just completely inappropriate. This "proof" doesn't help their case against Russia. They should be focusing a narrow remit on the like's of Gucifier and Wikileaks. What a mess.
I wonder if instead they could setup a fake or jailed SSH that would let you login, it would then display helpful info about how to really enable SSH and then it would kick you out?
Well lots of people can barely afford a home let alone try and get a home with a garage or driveway. In addition how do home owners anticipate that some nearby development, 5 or 10 years later, is going to go in without parking? Especially since the city council on several occasions has promised to require a reasonable amount of parking for new buildings.
Small lots means no garage or even driveway so street front park is all you get. Imagine forking over several hundred thousand for a house and then a few years later finding out that you cannot park in front of your own home like you have done for years.
Parking requirements repeal? Ask the residents of Portland how that works. What happens is a large apartment goes in without parking and suddenly home owners nearby cannot park their cars anywhere and everyone is angry.
Actually I think something like it used to exist. While not a "margin call" a bank could call you and tell you to repay the full amount immediately. I think even today some loans are structured so if you miss a few payments the full amount becomes due. In theory, in a more libertarian market, a loaner could structure the loan any way they pleased.
