Pretty sure the courts in Florida have also already ruled that what DeSantis did (taking money that was ringfenced for dealing with migrants in Florida and paying his friend's charter airline to fly migrants from Texas to Massachusetts) was illegal and a misappropriation of taxpayer funds.

That applies to private sales between individuals, not between manufacturers and consumers. The manufacturer has obligations to ensure what they claim is a true and honest representation of what they're selling.

The real irony here is that you're basically siding with and defending Telsa in terms of their legal disputes with their customers.

This article doesn't just summarise the discussion on Proton's blog post (which the article linked to), it's looking to spread the information and increase discussion of the issue, in particular in the community of users who regularly browse their site and comments sections.

Your comment is like complaining about reposts. Yes, in the worst cases reposts can be bad and disruptive, but more often than not it's just a genuine attempt to spread the content/story further and one that introduces it to more people than the original. This isn't one of those worst case examples.

Articles like this are at least better than Yahoo or MSN articles that literally just copy the text of other publications (although sometimes the source article is paywalled while the copy is not).

You cannot use the new Outlook app without syncing these data with Microsoft's servers, i.e. your usernames and passwords are sent to the company's cloud servers. While the data is sent using TLS, the IMAP and SMTP username and password are sent to Microsoft in plain text. This could allow the company to access your emails, and share the data with third-parties.

Not only that, but sending usernames and passwords in plaintext allows for MITM attacks.

Because the data is worth quite a bit of money - more than people realise, otherwise these companies would be paying us for it.

See now this is a good article about these legal proceedings. It actually explains the detail that isn't apparent to non-lawyers and gives an overview of the potential outcomes, rather than a retired lawyer just speculating and jerking themselves off over what might happen.

Only six invitees showed up

Ahmad said Biden’s opening remarks at the event did not mention Gaza, famine, or the potential invasion of Rafah.

The event was repurposed from a general celebration marking the end of Ramadan

This article is really trying to frame this as something more sinister than a publicity event being poorly attended and diverted off its intended course.
