I unlocked for you a NSFWCorp story. You are welcome.
“As Your Attorney, I Advise You That Miranda Is Bullshit.”
On “the current (lame) debate over whether the alleged Boston Bomber should be read his Miranda rights.”

We are on the way to become naked citizens…
Don't let big businesses strip you of your privacy rights! Protect our privacy!
Here is what I wrote to the Austrian MPs:
»Großkonzerne versuchen einen Frontalangriff auf meine privaten Daten, damit ich ihnen schutzlos ausgeliefert bin! Ich will das Recht auf völlige Kontrolle meiner Daten. Bitte lassen Sie nicht zu, dass bestehende Datenschutzregelungen verwässert werden.«

Watch what happens when you wring out a washcloth in space.
(It’s more surprising than I thought.)
It’s time to get pissed.
The U.S. law that would turn Google, Facebook, and Twitter into legally immune government spies just passed the House.
This bill affects everyone—not just U.S. citizens. Anyone with a Facebook account could now have their data shipped directly to the U.S. government. That's why Internet users overwhelmingly oppose this bill. Over 1.5 million people signed petitions against it. But Congress didn’t listen.
Does this remind you of something? Yep, this is the exact position we were in with SOPA last year. Then the Internet rose up and we made history with the SOPA strike.
This spring, we’re going to organize the largest online privacy protest in history to make sure that CISPA goes the same route as SOPA and doesn’t become the law that breaks the 4th Amendment. Are you in?
CISPA threatens our most basic rights. Privacy is important not just for our security but for our rights to freedom of expression. The giant tech companies that stood with Internet users against SOPA are not going to help us this time (but some of the large sites like Mozilla, Imgur, and Reddit are all against CISPA and we love them).
Only a massive grassroots outcry will stop this bill. We’re starting to build the tools. But we need your help.
Can you share the flyer below on social media? And tell everyone you know to sign up to join the protest?
Kick out your boss! Positively disrupting corporate working concepts.
It’s also the title of Elisabeth Scharang’s latest movie.
