What is going on in Chile….
This is how justice in Chile works. A criminal arrested on Wednesday, was left free yesterday morning. He robbed another house and shot 5 times to a policeman. Article here ( sorry, spanish only).
One of the sins of the left wing in Chile, they managed to get people transform their homes in jails and live like prisioners, and criminals walking free like birds in the city.
Judges should pay their mistakes. That`s their job. We are delegating the criteria to keep dangerous people in jail to them. You can do a mistake, that is normal, you can’t guess the future. But judges in Chile seem to be unable to get even one right. Those should be fired. Period.
On the good news deparment. Socialist senator Jaime Naranjo, presented a law project to make the law harder for those injuring or killing cops. If you don’t know Jaime Naranjo you will remember him as the congressman who hired his own wife using the money they get for their congressman job basic costs, and then negated on live TV knowing that woman.
I hope this gets into a law soon. Right now if a policemen touches a idiot burning the city and throwing rocks in a protest, usually the policeman gets fired and the whole police is marketed through those left wing organizations like Amnistia International as “repressive”, but if a policeman is hit by a rock or injured or killed nobody cares.
On the other hand, I keep receiving spam from the chilean bookstore company Antartica. This spam is sponsored by the useless law authored by right-wing senator Jovino Novoa. This law is as dumb and useless as the CAN Spam Act in USA. It only makes spam legal. Why the senator proposed opt-out instead of opt-in?
“Durante la discusión del proyecto en la Comisión de Economía, se evaluaron ambas posibilidades” explica el senador Novoa. “Entendiendo que ambos sistemas tienen sus ventajas y desventajas, decidimos aprobar el opt out, que permite un primer envío de publicidad para que el consumidor, posteriormente, decida si desea o no seguir recibiendo dicha información” agrega.
Esta elección, señala el parlamentario, favorecería en cierto modo a las empresas chilenas. “El opt in, o de autorización previa, perjudicaría a las empresas chilenas, ya que las empresas extranjeras no tendrían problema alguno para enviar spam desde fuera” indica el senador , explicando que de este modo se consideró al spam como una manera de ayudar a las Pymes “ya que para ellas, éste es el medio más barato de dar a conocer sus productos o servicios” expresó.
I found a nice article written by Carlos Osorio about this point and another one on Derechos Digitales. Senators are making everything so complicated, just showing ignorance (just read the point about users asking the isp to block the IP of the sender). Opt-in is the only solution that respect my rights. If I want crap on my mailbox I request it. Period.
Senator Novoa, please STOP sponsoring opt-out, it does not work. And you state it yourself in your blog, it does not work, but your “patch” to the law will not fix it. Email address is not sensible data (why).
