Seriously? . . . If you had been paying attention, Snowden spilled the beans years ago that everything we do on our phones, computers, and other networked devices is recorded and stored. That includes everywhere you take them, and everyone you interact with.

Like abused children who go on to abuse their own children: abused peoples fall into the same syndrome. There is a little girl from New England who is now a spot on rubble left by the Israeli bulldozer that after seeing her, ran her over to continue destroying stolen Palestinian houses. Sounds very Nazi-like to me.

@2DRonaldo Your allusion to Napster is incorrect. It was not the government who brought the cases against the downloaders, it was independent law firms looking for a quick buck, and professional orgs such as ASCAP. There was no spyware involved. Anyone who used P2P networks could see who else was active and their ips within the P2P client itself. Also your idea that it is illegal to download music is incorrect. It is not illegal to download anything. It is illegal to share copyrighted material without permission. Since most P2P clients automatically shared files that is what made the activity illegal in most instances. Your welcome.

Ask the people of Tibet, Taiwan, Xinjiang, the Himalayan boarders of India, and Vietnam if China is just a bogey man. China is just another cloak for the misanthropes who run the world, same as all other hegemonies who attain world prominence. The fact that the USA acts like a wisdomless child internationally does not excuse China for it's behavior. And DN is nothing if not critical of US policies, so your critique is totally bogus.

@Asherah 1147 Neither peaceful protest, nor old news is an oxymoron, and humble opinion is on the fence. If I say, "In her quite humble opinion, Ms. X claimed that . . . " It is not an oxymoron, and in other cases it depends on the subjective attitude of the source. The word news did not come from the word new, though it certainly seems like it did. The word news, is an acronym for the words north, east, west, and south, indicating that it entails reports from all quarters. The term peaceful protest simply does not qualify at all because protests are not inherently violent. just saying . . . Also note: ellipses consist of three dots each separated by a blank space. . . . just saying "Just saying", is not a sentence therefore does not need a capital letter in the first word nor a period at the end. . . . just saying . . .

Wrong: sooner or later we tech ourselves into a starfaring civilization with unlimited resources and a pollution free earth: or global warming destroys civilization and your grandchildren are forced to eat their babies for a few more weeks of life.

@SuperTonyony Spoken like a know-nothing ludite. Pay attention to SpaceX. You will probably see a colony on Mars within your lifetime. If you are going to use a derogatory euphemism such as "sport" the way you wrote it is incorrect, and make no sense if you understand written English. You should have written, ". . . aspirations -- sport." Apparently your view of the future is as inept as your grammar.

@johnhanson4776 In your almighty opinion that may be the case. In reality your judgement means diddly squat.

Dream on. Even if they convince you that they have shut it down, it won't really be shut down.

@kimberlychappell5555 You mistake realism for cynicism. In reality the sole motive of all the members of the power elite is to maintain and increase their power: nothing else. It does not matter if they are an organizer of a protest or the head of some military strike force. And by the way -- human beings do not have free will, it only seems like that to them. If this were not so, scientist could not tell what a person's actions will be before they decide to act. I know you think you have free will, but it is an illusion, and there is no explaining it to those who are lost in it, as you see to be. Freedom is not found in illusions: only in facing the facts.
