SpyWare Bill is moving Forward - What is is for?

The real intent of Anti-Spyware bills are focused on helping to pursue con-artists from stealing business away from legitimate businesses. (Its actually funny, who would have that an entertainer and ex-partner of Cher would be leading the charge in this).

The language of the bills and articulation from the politicians though is geared towards protecting the consumer from being switched or pop-ups presented without asking.

Maybe it was the subtle tension behind the idea that America’s dominance in AI, something we often take for granted, might be slipping away. The tone was clear: America is losing ground, China is gaining it, and we should be worried . But the more I looked at it, the more I began to wonder—not just what the summary said, but how it ...
