Verizon have argued in court that they have a first-amendment right to edit everything that crosses their network.

You could see your ISP demanding you install and trust crypto keys so Verizon can inspect everything you say, insert any ads they like, and refuse to deliver anything they decide you shouldn't be allowed to see or say.

Of course, it won't start there. This is how starts.

Spectral fingerprints: different chemicals absorb/reradiate different frequencies.

Our eyes are sensitive to some frequencies. We see those as different colors and can generally identify many different materials that way.

Instruments can be more precise and sense a broader range of frequencies, so they can "see" differences between what seem to our eyes to be identical or colorless materials.

I regard the ... people ... working at those "troll farms" as cockroaches, so far beneath contempt I wonder how they're not ashamed to breathe.

What is the world like for them? Do they have to keep their job secret? Is there a common attitude in Russia about what they do, or is Russia kept as internally divided as they're apparently successfully helping some of our own make the United States?
