I have visited Saudi Arabia at least 20 times and never had a problem, however I would be concerned about visiting the US. Saudi Arabia is quite open (righteous?) about its restrictions, unlike the US which appears to be a democracy but by many accounts seems to behave like a police-state. The other important difference is that Saudi Arabia does not have the influence on the rest of the world that the US does.

Techdirt is screwed now! Professionals like lawyers, accountants, doctors, etc often pay a hefty price for bad decisions, negligence, etc. What are the consequences for judges? (Hypothetically of course - I would not dare suggest that an actual judge had made a bad decision - it is probably illegal :) )

Possibly useful if it can identify someone on the plane that you know (FB friend etc)?

Did some idiot / politician / uniformed thug confuse Wikipedia for Wikileaks? Or is it because Wikipedia links to copyrighted content?

When VPN's become illegal, TOR over hacked WiFi will just take its place (and probably more secure)...

Government gets involved because they like to show uppity corporates / individuals(i.e. those that are not paying lobbyists / bribes) who is in charge! I suspect that many of the laws we have today exist for this reason. It is ironic that there are people who believe government is competent to tell business / individuals how to run their affairs when government cannot seem to manage its own.

Is it defamation...for a lawyer? If I wanted to hire a lawyer as an attack dog, I would WANT the biggest a*hole in town! Sadly I can envisage a situation where lawyers might actually use their position on a troll page to get business...

or Google...
