Senate Judiciary Committee Will Subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey over NY Post Censorship

From the above link:
The subpoena would require the Twitter executive to testify on Oct. 23 before the committee, according to the Republicans who announced the hearing.

If anyone was watching the Judiciary Committee yesterday, they said this was election interference and Facebook will also be given a subpoena.

Kind of seams like they are testifying before a committee 3 times a year. Some of the companies are supposed to be asked to send their CEOs to talk about advertising practices soon.

There was another hearing back in June. While it’s stated purpose was something else, Democrats complained a lot of the wrong things were allowed to stay while Republicans complained too much was removed.

I would expect other news sources to call out the NY Post if the story is so wrong. The other news sources are just ignoring the story.

The Post’s report said that an unidentified computer-repair-shop owner discovered the emails and other compromising material about Hunter Biden after an unidentified person dropped off a water-damaged laptop last year to be repaired but never picked it up.

As a person that does Computer repair on the side, the shop owner should have discovered anything. It is not part of his job to browse emails and personal files. That is a violation of trust and a breach of privacy. His license should be revoked.

The repair shop owner was later identified as John Paul Mac Isaac, an avid Trump supporter who told several reporters who tracked him down that Trump’s impeachment was a “sham.” Isaac also did not have a clear grasp on the timeline of events that he initially described to the Post.

There is zero excuse for this breach of privacy.

No completely different in scope and context.

The fact that the Democrat media doesn’t talk about this pretty much tells you it’s true. Besides, how would some computer repair guy get a bunch of pornographic photos of Hunter Biden onto the computer? If they were photoshopped, the left would be saying it. This is real.

And the repair guy gave the computer to the FBI. If it is a fraud, nobody would do that for fear of going to prison. After all, Gen Flynn faces jail for what some of the FBI even admitted was not a deception. How much more would they go after a person who gave them a faked computer with stuff on it that’s probably an admission of criminal conduct?

It’s real.

This is not the only source showing how corrupt the Biden family is. The big question, though, is who is “the big guy”? I think we know.

With Hunter complaining about his father taking half his earnings, and since Hunter is a troubled person in other ways, one has to wonder whether at some level he knew this computer would be exposed someday and intended it.

That is your opinion. The CCC states:

2491 Professional secrets - for example, those of political office holders, soldiers, physicians, and lawyers - or confidential information given under the seal of secrecy must be kept, save in exceptional cases where keeping the secret is bound to cause very grave harm to the one who confided it, to the one who received it or to a third party, and where the very grave harm can be avoided only by divulging the truth. Even if not confided under the seal of secrecy, private information prejudicial to another is not to be divulged without a grave and proportionate reason.

The computer was not given for repair under the seal of secrecy. Witness the many emails of Hillary Clinton that were investigated. The grave harm in either incidence warrants disclosure to the FBI.

You take your laptop to a repair shop for work.

Once the repair is done, the repairer starts to snoop around, looking at your emails and your personal files.

That is a Breach of Privacy and very unethical on the part of the repairer.

Their is a code of conduct amongst IT Professionals. This repair shop broke that code of conduct. His license should be revoked and never reinstated.

It is not personal opinion.

General Moral Imperatives​

The ACM believes computer professionals should contribute to society and the well-being of others, not harm others through theft or vandalism, discriminate against others, be honest and trustworthy, act fairly, honor property rights, not take credit for other’s ideas and/or work, respect the privacy of others and uphold confidentiality. Computer professionals have the responsibility, according to the Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals (ICCP), to serve the interests of their employers and/or clients with loyalty and diligence. They should not act in a way that discredits their reputation or the integrity of the profession. In addition, computer professionals must never base their competence solely on the professional certifications held.

That loyalty toward his client was violated.

I presume you did not agree with the CCC’s article that permits revelation of secrets when grave harm may result when withholding them. Again, that is YOUR opinion.

The CCC article is irrelevant in this case.

The information was found out by Unethical means and against the rules set for forth by ICCP.
 
So when a computer repairman or a film developer (back in the day),
if they find report child porn . . .

. . . Are you suggesting they did something improper by notifying the authorities??

(Because that is the same principle at work here. You report illegalities.)

Back in my college days I did computer repair. I looked at it similar to the position of a doctor or psychologist; having access to deeply personal material that was to be kept confidential. For physical problems, there was generally no need for me to log into the computer. Ex: a power supply was bad, I replaced it, and confirmed the computer turns on. More personal stuff was encountered when people asked me to restore deleted files. I generally wanted them present for that as people sometimes keep materials that are deeply personal, and I wanted them to confirm that I had recovered the correct files while I was not within view of the screen to see them.

Something I don’t get from this story though, the computer is reported to be a MacBook. Doesn’t macOS enable FileVault (file system encryption) by default? That would make the files generally inaccessible. Additionally, to view e-mails, one would specifically have to go into either the e-mail application or navigate to one’s e-mail service.
 
Let us treat each one separately

IF is the key word.

IF the computer repairman intentionally snooped around and found the files, then he is in the wrong.

IF the computer repairman happened to come across files in the course ( which is rare in my experience ) than he is obligated to report.

If they spot it in the course of their work yes, they are obligated to report.

In the case of the OP, the repairman was an avid Trump supporter. He realized whom the computer belonged to. He unethically went snooping around. He by his license and certification violated the laws and rules of Ethical Conduct.

With that in mind.

You bring your laptop to me for repairs. IE it will not boot up. I fix it. Then I start to snoop around looking at your emails and personal files. Is that OK with you?
 
Apparently not,considering the criminal acts of the deep state the last four years as well as JB and his sons actions ,not to mention the Clintons .I could gon re who should be in jail but you get the gist I’m sure

From what I’ve read, which is, a moderate amount on this, I’m of the view it’s part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

Too much doesn’t add up.

Not only have I done Computer Repair, I have done some White Hacking for some clients. I have a ton of tools that allow me to access virtually anything on anyone’s computer. I’ve had people bring me MacBooks whom have lost their login info ( they login and stayed logged in for months and they lost power and laptop shutdown on power drain and on startup they could not remember the password ) , and I have tools that allow me to both bypass or break the login.

I would never look at anyone’s email or personal files without their consent. It is just unethical.
