Wenheng Zhao [...] received at least $14,866 in bribe in exchange for secret military information [...]
But a fine of only $5,500? It's apparently profitable to be a BAD spy, too
My opinion: the fine should be AT LEAST 2x (if not 10x) what the bribes were. And not dismissible in bankruptcy.
Birds of a feather got to stick together.
My take is two fold: 1- Marketing over selling their product (common practice) 2- The "always listening" devices are mainly their Smart Remotes that have a microphone built in.
#2 Seems the most likely as is a device fully in their control and can pull as much ad marketing / information gathering details from it as they want.
Agreed. I used to be able to rely on adding "reddit" to my Google searches to get relevant and insightful information. That still works today (soon after the exodus), but the information there will slowly age out of relevance. By the time they figure that out it'll be to late for them to pull out.
Fascinating and dystopian... Thanks for the link.

I'm about as far from Sydney as over can get on the Earth but I'll take a stab...
Possibly an inside message to "JCT" (initials) for something that is happening at 10:05 tonight or tomorrow morning?
Just a wild guess. 🤷🏼🙂
Gee, it's like this is a company based in capitalist United States doing what capitalists do best: sell to the highest bidder and keep customers as long as possible.

Easy solution: All elections in the state after the supreme Court decision need to be invalid and on hold until the new redistricting is approved.
Don't get it done by the next election? Sorry, your ballots and electrics don't count.
It's disenfranchisement, but for everyone, not just the ones whose gerrymandering selected.
No, that's too trivial. If I was a conspiracy moved person I'd wonder if he has a 'political donor' who has a retirement nest egg setup for him one the impeachment was voted and passed.
It was an easy enough bar to get over in our political climate and gives a good sound bite for everyone else.
And his opponent won't have this decision to use against him in the next election since I'll be someone else who will be able to deflect and still attract the same voters.
