"I'm not trying to say that new technologies never raise gnarly new legal questions, but what I am saying is that a lot of the time, the "new legal challenges" raised by technology are somewhere between 95-100% bullshit" - @pluralistic
I keep saying: Strip away the digital layers & nobody in their right mind would accept any of this. But breaking the law with an app is somehow different - you can steal, lie, hurt, spy, exploit, anything you want, regardless of legality.
