Automakers petition Congress to criminalize some home car repairs SHARE
A group of automakers is petitioning Congress and the copyright office to make certain types of home car repairs illegal. The Auto Alliance, composed of 12 major car manufacturers, made a push on April 22 to stretch the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to cover some electric and computerized components on vehicles so that any work on them would be violations of the automakers copyrights.
The Auto Alliance is made up of BMW Group, FCA US LLC, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz USA, Mitsubishi Motors, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen Group of America and Volvo Cars North America. They would like to maintain a monopoly on any and all types of car repair services, and they are willing to stop at nothing to make that happen, including disallowing individuals from tinkering with their own toys.

Project Loon SHARE
Billions of people could get online for the first time thanks to helium balloons that Google will soon send over many places cell towers don't reach.
Katie Singer's comment: How will electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure from Project Loon affect the health of babies in utero, infants and children with developing brains, people with medical implants?
How will Project Loon influence internet-addiction?
How will navigational abilities of bees and migratory birds be affected?
Does this project have any precautionary mechanisms? Will it be tested for its biological effects before it's installed globally? Who will conduct such tests? Will Google and Facebook hire the testers?
If people observe health or environmental problems in their area once the project is installed, with whom do they register complaints?
If harm results from its installation, what steps will be taken?
