The airline is not declaring it lost and does not offer compensation. As usual with contemporary customer service, you only get non-answers and it becomes increasingly hard to talk to a human being that's directly involved with your issue.

Reminds me of the game Capitalism[0] where the player was incentivized to achieve monopoly in markets by selling below-cost, subsidized by the other parts of the business. Vertical integration was also highly encouraged.

Some Linux distributions, like Fedora Workstation, will use LVFS to update firmware. It's one of the default repositories.

Exactly this. Security is more about about defense-in-depth, incident response and recovery planning.

Personally, I assume the hardware is already compromised and plan for recovery accordingly, starting with the worse case scenario. Then, I ask myself "If this thing isn't compromised yet, how can I help it stay so?", starting probably with the network access, through firmware, all the way to the browser.

In Portugal, if you are an employee or pensioner and have no other sources of income, the tax form is filled in automatically for you. Just confirm if you want, and hit 'send'.

I'm not an American, so I wouldn't know.

The question was: How does it fit in? Because the government is involving itself in actions of censorship, even if it is one step removed.

Similar to how I can still be accused and convicted of a crime, if the only thing I did was facilitating it? I'm not a lawyer, but I hope I'm getting my point across here.

Here is what the first amendment says:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The main question here is whether the government is abridging the freedom of speech.

If they are only requesting for removals and not doing it directly, that may not be against the letter of the law but it certainly goes against the spirit. N.B. I'm not a lawyer.

And I'm not going to go into the times that first amendment alone has been trampled, because life is short.

Such a juvenile comment from a government official.

Couldn't Thierry Breton come up with something more suitable to his position?
