For accuracy, it should be updated to read "Snitches will need stitches."

Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense

Kinda just sounds like the normal panic/fight-or-flight response that you might have if a cop was about to murder you for fun.

According to your link, hosting an exit node was not a crime by itself, this person pretty much encouraged the illegal activity

The Austrian Court found that this activity may lead to criminal liability for aiding and abetting of a crime of distribution of child pornography when coupled with other circumstances. Of course, mere provision of Tor Nodes would not be enough to establish at least indirect intent (bedingte Vorsatz), which such aiding and abetting under criminal laws usually requires (§ 5 StGB).
In order to find such circumstances, according to PCWorld, the court cited transcripts of chat sessions uncovered during the investigation in which the Weber told an unidentified correspondent “You can host 20TB child porn with us on some encrypted hdds”, “You can host child porn on our servers” and “If you want to host child porn … I would use Tor.” Weber defended himself against this on his blog saying: “Yes, this logs existed – Yes, i recommended Tor to host anything anonymously, including child pornography – Yes, this is of course taken out of context.”

Ah yes, blaming other end users for "poor choices" instead of Evil Company obviously and openly doing evil things

A really powerful statement, and I completely understand their decision.

I kind of get it, but I feel like even in a b2b context you shouldn't be allowed to charge a subscription for something as low level as the OS.

Now if Microsoft wants to offer paid support subscriptions for business customers (they might already do, I didn't look) that I would be fine with.

Of course, businesses would just pivot in the other direction and speed up the release cycle to every year or two, making smaller and smaller improvements. No system will be perfect. I just hope we get to a better solution than "constant vigilance" eventually, whatever it looks like.

Just fix your goddamn police system - there’s a reason why vigilantism is outlawed since it’s too easy to misjudge or misidentify stuff and the consequences are horrible - let professionals do their job properly

We've tried that, but the problem is they can't seem to do it without executing people, and/or the neighbor's dog, for fun.

Am I reading this right? The torture occurred more than twenty years ago, and there is still an ongoing legal battle?

If instead of clicking all the links you had read the article, it's explained:

The Associated Press reported that the school district spent $199,000 to hire the AlphaRoute engineering firm to create a plan that would cut the number of bus routes and stops. According to The Louisville Courier-Journal, the school district changed its bus schedule and start times this year in an attempt to cope with a bus driver shortage.

They were short on bus drivers, and they hired a firm to come up with a plan that would "make it work". Specifics of the routes aren't given, but I'd imagine that they were completely ridiculous for any kids to have still been on buses six or seven hours after school got out.

Corporations don't behave ethically unless forced to by regulation (when the consequences are severe enough, anyway) so this really isn't that surprising
