  How are they saying “potentially” endangered someone’s life? This is an “absolutely definitely” endangered her life story.

    May = just outside her home being arrested with a knife ->

    When authorities later searched the Jeep Glauner had driven, they found methamphetamine and two bundles of rope.

    This article is crazy if you read it. If the quality of his requests felt real, especially from a non government email address, these things must cone in shitty all the time.

      This is the question the entire article avoids.

      The article is written as if to try and get you to avoid asking it too.

      “Why was no warrant required for the data?” “Why are police allowed to just ask for your personal info without a warrant”

      What’s the point of warrants if they’re boo longer needed? Like, warrants are supposed to be a crucial check on police powers, and here we are rendering them pointless.

      I weep for the future.

    Because they got paid to say ‘potentially’ in order to downplay the seriousness of verizons ineptitude. These news organizations do not report on the news to inform people anymore they alter the presentations of their investigations in order to appease their various shareholders, and wouldn’t you know it, their largest shareholders are corporations or affiliated persons. Just like every other news organization that gets large enough now days.

      No, because unlike you media companies are liable to be sued for false statements.

      If corporations really are in control of media companies, then a competitor of Verizon could easily pressure/bribe them to exaggerate or falsify the accusation.

  that the suspect met on the dating section of porn site xHamster

  Not related to the issue at hand, but do people really use dating sections of porn sites?
