You too!?

Always had trouble deluding myself, even when I tried.

Till I realized that’s what I was doing, anyway.

Not to mention Epstein was able to operate freely for decades while flying out high priority definitely-surveilled-at-all-times targets out to rape kids

Make no mistake, intelligence agencies are every bit as complicit as Epstein himself, and they don’t give a flying fuck about “protecting” kids

And oh darn, didn’t you know the only solution is permanent extension of and expansions to all the patriot act bullshit that has been violating our civil liberties constantly for 20+ years?

Shucks. Welp, if it’s “for the children” or whatever excuse they use this time, I guess we have no choice!

Using weak examples and how they are better served in a different way doesn’t mean much

With push data like this you can identify something like every other member of an encrypted group chat by correlating the push notification metadata

They are demanding this for a reason

This.

If there’s a notification for an encrypted group chat, you can use that metadata to identify the devices of all parties involved in that chat, because the push system has to queue all that up and send it at the same time.

That’s just one valuable use of this data.

In steps, and you kinda drive onto it

Not great for mobile operation, however 😬

SIM card tracks location and sells it too

That isn’t what you’re getting with any cell phone?

A choice they are making in favor of a tech cartel instead of what is best for their customers, which is the problem we want addressed

No it doesn’t, because it’s generally monitor manufacturers that add display port, and people who want to run on large tvs are SoL

The way I solved this problem is by using an https://invidious.io/ instance.

Logins are easy to create, so you can have one for each subscription set you want to create

Private by default, so not even the fingerprint scripts are monitoring you

And the subscriptions page lists just your subscriptions in order of most recently released, nothing else shoved in

Probably the same reason you’d recommend c++ instead of Python to a new developer.

Yes, they’ll learn Python faster, but with c++ they’ll learn programming faster simply due to how much Python does on the programmers behalf.

There are valid arguments for both sides
