Found as yet another censored r/privacy post!

Understand that the decision to fire the chief and his deputy may be in fact be the most dangerous decision Trump has made so far. Timothy Haugh like his last 2 predecessors were restricting the access and control Peter Thiel had through his company Palantir over the CIA/NSA to commit domestic surveillance. Palantir is the 2nd biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA along with providing day-to-day operations for both agencies. The goal for Palantir is and always has been domestic surveillance. Palantir is an intelligence corporation which provides advanced analysis, sigint, osint, criminal and threat awareness and kill chain efficiencies to all levels of US, UK, and corporate agencies.

Wow. Any reason ? Maybe it was just a duplicate?

We need to stop posting there and start posting here and on Mastodon. I wonder if the community can come together to try to move traffic away from Reddit to these forums for the greater good

FWIW the person removing stuff on Reddit is also a FOSStodon moderator. This might be worth bringing up to the admins there.

It seems to be a bigger problem than I imagined. What is the corporate buyout even doing on Mastodon? He needs to either give a really good explanation or be kicked.

I do not have a mastodon account, if you do/anyone does it would be great if the other mods there can be notified about this

We all (sort of) have Mastodon accounts. At least it's possible to @ people on those servers from here.

Thanks for raising awareness

I think it's very smart of Trump to go after people who have spent their entire careers searching out secrets. After all, Donnie's life is an open book.

Yeah, wouldn't want those holding the details of just exactly what degree of a Russian agent he is actively, I mean, besides all the obvious shit. Like the warehouse carts of docs in his first scheme as president and of course. The candid double agent theatre show in his latest candid auctioneering of our government parts. The bragging of the discard of the whole election process in the very "Republican" accusing of all things being actually done by the accuser, like rigging the election. RE the "Inaguration" speech where he brags about Musk doing just-fucking-that.

It kind of bugs me to say he's smart because I know he sounds stupid and lots of people think he is stupid but to say he's smart makes you think I mean allthe stupid shit he says. No, he says stupid shit because you think he is stupid. He's rigging your judgement into thinking he's stupid while he swindles every fucking thing possible.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaellisicky/2020/10/03/how-donald-trump-took-down-bonwit-teller-a-fifth-avenue-landmark/

In the 1980s Jackie Kennedy was the top of the top of the New York elite. She was famous for her devotion to maintaining great old buildings. Trump had purchased a building that was considered one of the most beautiful on Fifth Avenue. Trump promised to preserve the building, then tore it down and lied about it.

This is not a smart man.

You seem to be particular as the the meaning of the word "smart." What exactly are you entailing here for a the meaning? I think you're just wrong, in a particular sense though, certainly not in any absolute anything. Mostly because I don't do absolute for any sense of whatever ever but this is, in my read, if there is intelligence, of a particular objective.

What you're saying follows literally everything that person does. Look at him "Making America Great Again." He is dismantling everything that is America, auctioning it off to anyone bar probably a few things he has concealed packed and shipped under the deniability despite not really hiding jack much at all. We're not long to see there be about as much of America as there is a Casino, that building you mention, Epstein (Yup, that's where my bid goes on the one who gathered the means to make the arrangement with those who would agree to make the arrangement, as it were), and on and on and on. Only exception: Russia. Cuz he's a double agent. Duh mother fuckers. How did you not see this? He never even hid it. WTF. DUH MOTHER FUCKERS.

Can't wait until they decide to change the keywords and triggers for what gives them a ping on their system. Probably the exact list they are using to remove certain terms from their databases.
