Anyone else remember a few years ago when the government was caught performing warrantless searches on America’s phone data and metadata, using direct wiretaps at the phone companies, and it was a huge deal and the whistleblower had to flea the country or face imprisonment? And we all said at that time that the government’s actions were shocking and they had to stop right away, and at first they said they would, but then they never really did?
Yeah, me neither.
RIP, the Constitution. We’ll miss you.

Eh, if the constitution was half as great as people think, we wouldn’t have the problems we do now.
And don’t forget, without the flaws of the constitution, us couldn’t have give full fascist so early and quickly.
Fuck the constitution, we need something better.

I believe the original intent of the constitution was to review/update it every 20 years but they got lazy.
They knew it wouldn’t stand the test of time.

Why do we need these government agencies that murder civil rights leaders and help Mossad traffic children again?

Because someone has to coordinate to let Saudi royal families safely exit nationally closed airspace after 9/11 when 15/19 plane hijackers were from Saudi Arabia!
Can you imagine what might have happened to them if not? Luckily we then started having those same agencies spew stories about WMD that didn’t exist in Iraq so we could fight a proxy war in Iraq.
The US is China’s bitch, Israel’s bitch, Saudi Arabia’s bitch…

We can make great use of this, to hunt certain malicious individuals.
Perfect.

John Oliver threatened something like that once (but for politicians). Not sure what happened after that, though I have occasionally wondered.

How to become wealthy in America: Drop out of school. Move to San Francisco. Develop an app that takes pictures of people buttholes on the toilet. Sell those pictures to the pentagon and claim it’s for monitoring terrorism. Fire everyone at your business. Sell business to a data collection company based in china. Move to Texas and start a podcast complaining about how LGBTQ rights have lead to the rise in gas prices.

Some of you give that info away to companies so easily, of course they sell it.

Thats why I spoof my location. Nobody knows where I am. I’m actually on the moon.
Maybe they do. Would that be so surprising?
I blanket my whole network in a VPN, it rotates between servers every so often, and via NetBird which I self-host, all my devices access the internet via my home network, even when I’m not at home.
It’s not hard to set up.

I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.
- ivn@tarte.nuage-libre.frEnglish21 hours
No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.

You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?
