Christians are constantly dressing up their moralizing anti-sex, misogynistic control in faux-feminist language and selling it to liberals. They’re very good at dressing it up too and using academic language, appealing pleas and dramatic claims. It keeps on working. Maybe because they were early adopters of psychology to better understand how to break people to indoctrinate them into their religion.
TikTok is effectively selling the sex industry to girls. Our new report with Collective Shout
Wasn’t collective shout those annoying Christian busybodies who were trying to force Steam to take down games they didn’t like?
I can’t help but feel loss is inevitable. All people care about is gas prices and this and that and they just keep coming back with this and the tech companies are fine with it now because of AI.
There were several propositions to ban trans-girls from girls sports that passed but not a single proposition to ban state officials from advocating for, suing for, etc to push these kinds of privacy violations. Not a single state proposition enshrining privacy rights that would defend against this passed and I’m not sure any were even on the ballot.
That will be the end of lemmy and all the small web. Only the giants will be able to afford and care to use the zionist entity and Thiel backed identification and doxxing “verification” systems.
This is an attack on the open web and small players.
Big businesses like Netflix, Microsoft, Google, Ubisoft can afford to pay this and will simply pass the costs onto consumers in many cases. They won’t entirely like it but they will like how it will totally destroy free software, small business competition, online file sharing/torrenting (they’ll inevitably amend this if it doesn’t already cover foreign websites to block those that don’t pay the fees for all that data you’re using for videos that don’t result in the big media companies getting paid).
Big corporate entities have used measures in a similar vein in the past to gatekeep a market and keep out competitors. By raising the burden for entering or remaining in a market it creates pressures forcing out all but the biggest entities who can afford to pay it, thus allowing them a monopoly position from which they may better abuse consumers with lower quality, worse service, higher prices, etc.
It will coerce video game distributors like Steam to charge customers in France to re-download a game for example. Some companies would be very interested in this kind of exploitation of every click and move you make.
V2 rocket company employees walked out in protest in Nazi Germany today over the fact Hitler authorized their use on German soil. One scientist on the protest lines was quoted as saying “we thought we were making weapons to kill the untermench outside our borders, using them on aryans is unconscionable”.
(Yes I know slave labor was heavily used in V production which only makes Boston Dynamics employees bigger monsters)
Won’t work.
They’ll call in experts from the FBI, forensics firms, etc. Show the court other graphene OS models, show what happens when the duress code is entered and ask the agents whether it matched what happened. Demand his lawyers provide an alternative explanation (there are no other plausible ones). Search github and try to find similar reports of the Graphene phones “just doing that” as in wiping themselves or displaying a screen like that. There won’t be any. Reasonable conclusion that’s good enough for a conviction will be that he gave them the duress code.
He’ll either go down or walk on other factors such as the legality of the search, whether the fact he didn’t personally enter it counts (I really doubt that holds water, it’s like encouraging cops to activate a booby trap that burns down your house, the courts take a dim view of it and it’s still destruction of evidence), or some other vague technicality.
Also cops are allowed to lie to you and do it regularly as a matter of practice so the police lying to him about what the search was for is not illegal. It was a tactical, calculated lie designed to outrage the subject and get him to cooperate to prove he wasn’t a pedophile.
And the word of authorities is considered to have more weight than the word of your average person so their word it happened like this vs his that it didn’t and no other plausible explanations with evidence for his version of events and they’ll find against him.
The best thing to do is not cross international borders with sensitive info on your device. The second best thing failing that is to use a securely encrypted device like Graphene that they can’t crack and while passing through customs to put it in before first unlock mode such as restarting it.
What Graphene should have is a setting that wipes the phone automatically after so much time without an unlock. They’d have seized his phone, wouldn’t be able to crack it. Would set it aside hoping for a future vulnerability to be discovered by those zionist fascists they employ and the phone while in storage and through no direct action of his would wipe itself before they could deploy such a future vulnerability 6-12+ months down the line. Now maybe they already have a way to affect the clock on the device to prevent such a thing but it’s the only alternative I can think of to hoping the encryption stands up and there are no vulnerabilities found for years or ever.
This is another way they’ll lock out Linux as an OS. It won’t pass passkey attestation or age check attestation so it just won’t be allowed to access the web because clearly you’re a bot or some other bad actor for failing those.
That or they’ll create a special government backdoored and approved Linux that has attestation in among a bunch of other blackbox modules that you have to trust aren’t an NSAKEY right into your system.
The future looks so bleak with all this online, Flock, Axon, etc cameras IRL controlling all movement and all fed into Palantir for one online and offline profile of you for the police state.
Let’s be clear that not just any state actor can do this. We’re talking about the US, UK, rest of the eyes alliance. Snowden revealed they are the threat who operates like this and we shouldn’t forget it.
India can’t likely do this, China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa cannot do it.
Unlikely this would cover the additional electricity cost you’d incur doing this for them anywhere but the cheapest power regions on earth.
