New Charges Filed Against Capital One Hacker, Trial Postponed To 2022 (therecord.media) 18
The US government has filed a superseding indictment against Paige A. Thompson, a former Amazon engineer accused of hacking Capital One and stealing the personal data of more than 100 million Americans. From a report: According to court documents filed earlier this month and obtained by The Record, the US Department of Justice has added seven new charges on top of the original two it filed in August 2019. The new charges -- six counts of computer fraud and abuse, and one count of access device fraud -- come as investigators have made headway in analyzing data seized from Thompson's computers and servers.

If you want something paid for by the government (or the government forcing insurance companies to pay for it), then it's fair game to regulate it.

If you wish to complain about insurance only, then complain about insurance. Bashing trans in general is a different thing. I have plenty of beefs about medical insurance that have nothing to do with trans, by the way.

The insurance company is forced to pay for the surgery because the government requires it with the power it grabbed under the ACA.
So the government is already regulating "genitals". You can add the fact that birth control and sterilization (of women) are also government required to be covered at 100%

I don't want to pay for injuries from skiing aficionados nor smoker's problems. And skinny people don't want to have to pay for problems of the obese. All of these are usually life choices. Roughly half of all medical problems are from various life choices and/or are preventable. Why narrow complaints to just trans issues? It makes you look hateful.

I feel sorry for the capitol rioters because it must be awful to be that dumb. I mean, even if they're not aware of how dumb they are, there are still consequences.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss. You can go through life thinking all your own failures are caused by conspiracies and minorities getting "too much commie welfare" instead of yourself being a loser.

Although she probably didn't do it for financial gain, it's still a crime and she should still do some prison time in my opinion, just not the same amount of time that someone who did it for financial gain would get. Roughly half, maybe.

I actually feel really sorry for Paige Thompson. She has shown herself to be seriously mentally ill and emotionally naive. She did the crime for sure, but the punishment seems like beating a dog that can't understand what it did wrong.
You sound extremely gullible. My take was that they did this knowing exactly what they were doing.

of course she did, which why what she did wasn't illegal. When someone publishes something on the internet, it becomes public domain. She's not guilty of anything Google hasn't been doing for decades.

So if someone were to publish your social security number, bank account numbers, a few passwords, private details about your life, etc., what's the harm. They aren't doing anything Google hasn't been doing for decades (approx 2 of those).
