I think that was part of the agreement on the new measures: If no measures pass, default to MV3.

This isn't to counter your argument, whatsoever, but to reinforce it: If they were looking to give him 25 to life, that's something he'd, obviously, want to fight because it's disproportionate to the crime and it would be extremely arduous to keep going back and forth, trying to proclaim your lack of malicious intent, when the government has already made-up it's mind in that regard.
To be fair, if he really was either in the sale of secrets and/or a turned agent working for the USG, one of two other possible considerations could be made:
1. They could've turned him to use him for catching the interested buyers.
2. Sent him off for "a wonderful retreat" in GITMO.
I agree, the guy probably was a genuine hoarder. It isn't a stretch to go from hoarding tangible things (files, newspapers, etc.) to hoarding the intangible (computer files).
Also, I do find it relatively suspicious that this guy worked in a prestigious security tools area of the NSA and the FBI easily "traced" the Twitter account to him.
That part definitely sounds like, as you suggest, the Russians showing off - but, might I add, it also sounds like one of the other 5I's saying, "you bunch of eedjits, look here!", you know, because "allies aren't supposed to spy on allies".
This mightn't help anyone else but me but the fact that I took the time to try to explain it to someone else means I've had to try to solidify my own understanding of it before attempting to explain it to someone else - if that makes sense? Perhaps, even the fact of writing it down helps me to remember it that much more because I have to present it as consumable material to someone who may not just "get it" from the onset.
This isn't, implicitly, true. The EU played this game very well and came out on top. Let me explain: The US companies like to off-shore their profits through so-called tax-haven countries, Ireland being chief amongst those[0].
In response to the tax-haven laws in the US of last year (or the year prior, I forget), many companies made their "official" european headquarters in Ireland, which is still under the EU.
So, even though they're "US companies", the companies impacted would be european entities, which are legally separate and bound to the EU jurisdictions.
Put succinctly: By the US companies trying to have their cake and eat it, too, they fell into a quagmire of having their "partners" bound by far stricter laws than exists in the US. Thus, the companies affected, aren't "US companies", in the legal sense of the word. :)
(Sorry for the long-winded response.)

On the flipside of that very same coin, <insert three-lettered agency here> claims that it is difficult to discern between who's an American citizens and who's not, so they just deal with it "honestly", afterwards (even though the DOJ has found them to be breaching the 4th numerous times).
I think we've reached a stage where compulsion, through punitive fines, is the only viable means to make these entities respect the boundaries that have been erected.
It might not be much effort to create the infrastructure to delimit their tracking (in both cases) but they have a much higher ROI for not doing so, currently, than actually doing so (if that makes sense).
This is byproduct of the "stranger danger", everything is trying to harm you/kill you mentality.
>Legal restrictions compound the issue, with curfew laws being increasingly common, as well as increased driving ages and graduated licenses.
Curfews are always the double-edged reasoning sword used: It's to prevent crime and/or keep kids safe. This is, more or less, the byproduct of adults acquiescing to the government's mandates, yeah?
>Finally, businesses that used to be popular hangouts for teenagers, such as shopping malls have become less welcoming, often having limits on when teenagers are allowed on the premises without a parent.
Well, this is only partially true. For one, you're not considering that malls, in the classical sense as we remember them, have been pretty much replaced by strip malls (unless you're in Europe). For two, this entirely negates swathes of teens who live "in the sticks", as it were, where the nearest town (much less, city) is 10km or more away.
I'd like to see a breakdown of these stats in an urban versus rural environment context and by social classes context.
I'd suspect that those whom are far more disadvantaged are quite more likely to meet-up in person than their more affluent counterparts. I'd also suspect that there's correlation between the urban and rural teenagers, as well, in terms of classes, which might lend directly back to whether or not they're more or less likely to meet-up in person (given the disadvantaged, who are more apt to live in rural areas, will probably have far few incidences of access to mobile phones).
In places like Kiruna, the sun will never set for about two weeks[0], during the summertime.
It's the amount of actual daytime during the winter that would principally matter - in the overall scheme of things.

Which is also a tool used by narcissists, if I remember correctly.

For those choosing permanent standard time - also called winter time - the final clock change would be on the last Sunday of October 2021.
It's down to the member states to decide but I think most would prefer summer; save for maybe the Nordics, where the vast difference in the amount of daylight hours makes quite a significant difference.
Edit: Removed Iceland, since they froze their EU application.
...but that's such a myopic view of the problem. Facebook has this data. There's an entire market, intentionally kept from the public, that specifically deals in the selling and trading of profile data. This is why the concept of "shadow profiles" is important.
Let's say I have three friends who are on Facebook and I am not (which I'm not). Those three friends upload my contact details to Facebook and, from these three data points, Facebook can derive certain assumptions:
Sex from my name.
General age-range based on my friends.
General occupation (let's say all three are co-workers or previous co-workers)
General interests based on their interests. etc.
So, now Facebook has an ad-targeting profile of me. All they need to do to get more information on me, regardless of I'm blocking their specific domains, is to purchase correlating ad-profiles on what I'll call the advertising market.
So, my credit card purchases, my Google search history, etc. can all be correlated back down into this one shadow profile that Facebook holds on me and this can, in turn, be used to target ads to my friends. Not only that, but if I ever do sign-up for Facebook, they can immediately start targeting ads to me. (read: I'm not a net-advertising loss for being a "new user".)
I'm not saying that you shouldn't block Facebook domains but I think that, in the overall scheme of things, it's tossing a drop of water onto a raging bush fire.

Couldn't access it. Found Web Archive link[0].
Mistaken identity for an app with the same name (it seems). More specifically, it seems like someone at Google was looking to disable the app, yours was the first to return in their search, so that must've been it. You'd think there'd be correlatable identifiers to specifically prevent this?

You present this idea, whilst using a racist (and sexist) perspecive in your own posit. Can you not see how that will actually hurt your position, not help it?
Your diatribe aside, brigading should be a primary concern for the OC's idea.
Any reason this hasn't been up to the authors of the draft[0] to address that? Comments on a forum are likely to do nil.

You're demonstrating the OC's point: No one has any context around the kid who lost, it seems; so, for example, did he (or she) come from an equally disadvantaged position? If so, isn't he (or she) worthy of the same accolades and/or help simply for getting to that point, as well?
It seems that way. I have friends in the Bible Belt who receive nowhere near anything like that because those programs, simply, do not exist.
We could go into long diatribes of social policies versus the "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" mentality but, at the end of the day, it only prolongs the problems that continue to plight the poor/disadvantaged; case in-point: The family that was homeless.
If conductive heat is radiated through quanta, phonons[0], why would it be limited to the speed of sound? Is there a limitation to waveforms in matter that limits the speed at which it travels or is it purely dependent on the energy "type"? (Thinking of light travelling in waveform, when I posit this, which is the reason the ridiculous ask.)

To be fair, in more socially progressive countries, this is actually being countered/fought against[0].
The article linked is in Swedish, so you can use your choice of translator to decypher the text; but this is a demonstration of not only your point but the fact that people are actually starting to take a stand against the narrative that cruelty towards men is anywhere near being acceptable, in an equal and just society.

This is very true. As an example, recidivism in Sweden is around 40%[0], compared to around 68%[1] in the states.
