No to restrictions, but transparency concerning the use of collected data should be required and strictly adhered to.

No, and it should stop micromanaging our lives. We're adults, and we can chose what services we use and what level of data collection we allow.

  @K.-R.-FitzlaffLibertarian  from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

No, But companies must be transparent in the data they collect and users should have the ability to opt out of data collection without fear of reprisal.

No, but companies that harvest personal data should be held accountable to illicit acts using said personal data

 @B62SDW5 from Tennessee  answered…3 days3D

In general, I am against regulations of any kind. However, I believe that a company that uses my personal data for nefarious reasons has aggressed toward me, and any attack I mount against that company is not covered under the NAP.

The internet should remain a wild and untamed place. No one should have control over it or you're data not a corporation nor a government.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
