The call spoofed Biden’s voice urging voters to stay home.
“Don’t do that again, now pay a cookie crumb for this highly illegal attempt to meddle with democracy”.
Sigh.
The government doesn’t get to make up fines according to how heinous they feel the offense is. Their abilities are written in stone. This is why we see larger companies get off with a pittance, because it is a pittance to them.
A great fix would be to levy fines based on annual revenue or profit, something like that. Suddenly a violation becomes real, not merely a cost of doing business.
I’ve been saying for years that fines for these issues need to be based on revenue, not profit, and tripled. Unless they’re selling their products for a 300% profit margin, they still lose money because of the bullshit. Anything else can still be justified as a cost of business.
Definitely.
These fines have not kept up with inflation
It’s the B that matters not the M. Nothing will change otherwise.
I’m curious. And I ask, because US politics has normalised what would be clear corruption in most other places:
Is the illegal part here spoofing Biden, or also a private company trying to manipulate the electoral process?
If its only the former, then, what an absolute shit show.
A bit of both, but mostly about elections. The specific act used was “Truth in Caller ID Act by maliciously spoofing the number of a prominent local political consultant.”
Though, the settlements also require the company to screen calls more aggressively and implement KYC.
So, 50 cents.
Which telecom? I tried to read the article but got greeted with a broken, non-dismissible pop up that went off about having 848 intimate partners.
Firefox + uBlock Origin
Kiwi browser + uBlock Origin on mobile
Every now and then I see the web how everyone else sees it. Jesus Christ.
Kiwi browser
Why not firefox for android?
Does Firefox allow extensions now in mobile?
(The answer is yes and no. Its must be an approved Firefox addon. Ublock is one of those, however all of the other scripts I use do not work in Firefox for Android. Kiwi still wins for me.)
I believe that is no longer true. I just checked and it is letting me install any of the extensions.
Not for my scripts, I tried it while writing the comment just to be sure. Didn’t want to accidentally be wrong 😅
you can also have a custom extension list and put whatever on it. that’s what I did before they opened it up as much as they have now.
That’s fair.
I like to sync my history across devices. I sometimes open a link on my phone, leave it there and then pick it up on my computer via the account sync.
Its like looking at a welding arc without a mask. Instant pain and recoil
Don’t forget consent-o-matic
According to the article they’re called Lingo Telecom. I’ve never heard of them (which is probably a good thing).
“Oh no, now we’ll have to cut some (non-executive) bonuses this year and skip a few pizza parties, the horror.”
Let’s just cut 30 jobs to make it up within the year.
But while we’re at it, might as well just round it up to cutting 600 jobs, right? Then we can still have those bonuses!
my first thought wasn’t even “oh no, they’re spreading misinformation” it was “i wonder what funny shit they made him say lol warcriminal”
Sounds like you definitely have your priorities straight and are a mature adult 🙄
