I did have this happen to me when I tried to delete many of my posts at once.
There's a difference in publishing classified content (which is what journalists do) and actually stealing that content (which is what whistleblowers usually do). AFAIK Assange did not steal anything but only published what he got.
Kind of reminds me of the time someone got sued because they made building codes public.
I find any sort of restriction of access to _standards_ problematic.
They have been meddling in other countries' elections for decades and only now realize the others might do it as well?

I have seen officers making notes of how the tires are aligned so they know whether the car has been moved when they come by a second time. (Seen in DACH countries)
How would one know if the Chinese government was supported by the population or not, given that anyone expressing a contrary opinion is likely to be a thorn in the eye that is China's surveillance state?

Nice strawman. I never said it's pointless complaining.
IIRC Apple jumped on the bendable-phone trend a few years ago, before everyone else.
All this time spend creating this list could've been spent fixing at least one single little thing.
_For instance Microsoft and Apple regularly update ntoskrnl.exe and mach_kernel respectively for security fixes, but it's unheard of that these updates ever compromised the boot process._
I had updates rendering my computer unbootable by messing up the MBR at least twice.
Should've called it Cocktail Hamming Distance
