Who would have thought this could all be avoided by thinking for about five minutes before launching an ill advised and ill timed WAR on a sovereign nation for little to no justification that will harm American and global interests in the long run.

The American Dream is dying. The wealth divide must stop growing if America is to return to its roots of meritocracy, freedom, and fairness.

Will the massive settlement really fast track a safety framework for under 18 online? Without a meaningful shift at the federal level, I see an uphill battle to regulate the tech oligarchs with their hands on the wheel. iapp.org/news/a/a-vie...

I wish America had stuck to the tenets of the original Code of Fair Information Practices, especially that there must be NO personal data record keeping system whose very existence is a secret, which I somehow doubt is the case in America today with the increase of Tech Oligarchs and Surveillance.

Unsurprisingly, in contrast to the US Constitution, the California Constitution added an explicit guarantee of the right to privacy added by ballot measure in November of 1974. Wish that progressive wave had kept riding onward instead of receding, as noted in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and 14th Amendments, despite not mentioning the word privacy, all touch on privacy!

Do you agree with British Lord Camden in saying that "papers are often the dearest property any man can have", a statement he made while striking down a warrant to enter a home in 1765 and seize papers?

In 1890 Warren and Brandeis defined privacy as "the right to be let alone." Privacy has also been defined as the desire of people to freely choose the circumstances and the degree to which individuals will expose their attitudes and behaviors to others. Which do you like better?

“Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria.” - John Templeton. How close do you think we are to dying in euphoria? Will it be a broad retreat from all time highs or will it just clip the wings of some companies flying too close to the sun?
