Serving ads to Europeans is doing business in the EU, and the US and EU have reciprocal civil enforcement mechanisms.

I feel the same way about communists. Downvotes mean nothing to me.
You're the guy that was plastering my feed yesterday with the Stalin gave India food what a good guy inphographics right?
Well I'm only being facetious insomuch as the OP is annoyed at a perfectly predictable outcome of laws that Europeans wanted. I'm very critical of the GDPR, I do want laws that prevent data harvesting but I just don't think the GDPR was the right approach.
The OP is irritated for some reason, I guess they really wanted that insight.
Meh, this is overblown.
They seized the control servers of the malware operation, used that to send an update destroying the bots, after getting a warrant to do so. In the article it makes it seem like they searched everyone's computer, even though the warrant explicitly forbade them from doing so, saw the bot software and then targeted them. This is not the case.
The warrant explicitly forbade the FBI from searching the computers they for the warrant for. The article implies that they could violate the warrant if they want to. And they could. But by that logic any warrant can be abused, let's just get rid of warrants. And the issue at hand, that the court issued the warrant, is being glossed over on this point. The FBI had this capability, they'll abuse it warrant or no if they're trying to abuse it. The warrant makes no difference. So why even bring up the warrant?
Well, this is what you wanted isn't it? Your government is protecting you, anyone who can't comply can't serve you.
In some States those are motorcycle parking. That thing is a motorcycle, or so the owner desperately wants to believe.
Let me ask you, how often are you wrong? And of those, how often do you admit it and quit talking? How often do you admit it to yourself but keep the fight going? How often do you make excuses?
Whether you answer me or not doesn't matter, you need to truly, honestly answer it for yourself. Think about it. A person who can't admit they're wrong is done learning, a person who is done learning is done growing, and a person who is done growing is dead already.
Considering they're asking us how to win at such a dialogue, I've got to say, probably.
Definitely crazy. But when things get weird, they usually get even weirder as a response before settling down. I think things will start to settle down soon, into a new normal where it's not absolutely nuts out there.
