> That's not justice and people should be opposing this.
Much like everything else people are opposed to but apparently apathetic because they have no means to effect change. So things will keep getting worse ... I give it at most another 100 years at most. Until the suffocation is to a point where no one can stand it. At that point governments will have significantly more control than they do today, and the result of this suffocation will be devastating globally.
Oh look MSM telling journalists to shut the fuck up or face jail time because the law is murky. If this is not censorship through threats, I don't know what is.
Scare tactics. They know they can't break encryption so they are threatening you with this. Encrypt away, it's better than not. They are going to keep the data forever anyway.
You would not need this to point that out. America's righteousness is bullshit as has been shown by Chomsky for decades. America does not give two fucks as long as its public believes it.
China would be fucking stupid to hand Snowden over to US authorities. Just like the US encourages dissenters to take refuge in the US, China should do the same. If you don't agree with your government and want to air their dirty laundry, we will give you amnesty. This would be good for the world as a whole.
So Google can eavesdrop on everyone's communication globally and relay that to the US government. If I were a foreign government I would tell them to fuck off. There is no point in having a spy network of a corporation that belongs to another nation in your airspace. If they want to build such a network, open source the technology and let nations' own organizations that are under the democratic control of those nations build that technology.
> The recent (say, last decade) disparity has been lack of mature containers on the platform of choice, which is Linux for most cloud-based projects. I don't know many people who would switch their projects to run on FreeBSD or Solaris just to use containers instead of VMs.
OpenVZ. VServer. Many people did that in the old days. Before Xen it was all about FreeBSD.
Which is stupid. I would think to myself I am being accused of a crime, I better remain silent lest they try to pin this on me.
I have tried being polite, but it's quickly getting to the point where the righteous indignation is such that you want to resort to cursing the judge for his moronic legal fiction to justify this.
Fuck the news, acquire knowledge. :D The reason it pops up is someone noticed it, posted it online, and it grew viral because it's something people like to hear.
Real privacy doesn't exist. It's also a legal fiction. People assumed the legal fiction of online privacy existed because they fear that big baby government will fuck over innocents or people that are not a real threat to society. Their fears came true.
The outcome in this case of being conspiracy minded is good:
1) You don't trust your data online.
2) You keep as much of it in your control as you can.
3) You stop using Facebook and look for alternatives that don't catalog your life.
4) Foreign governments start being weary of putting all their citizen's information in the hands of the US government through their various private corporations.
No it doesn't. How would you even start approaching to prove that I can only fathom.
> Most of these companies are effectively saying they're agreeing to subpoenas
While at the same time they are actively supplying exploits so that their software can be compromised for political gain. Their software is unsafe, and anything that they're saying is by law allowed to be false or deceptive information, hence why you can't prove the first part.
> 'watch your thoughts form as you type'
Is that not what Google claimed it could do with its machine learning algorithm?
> a lot more holes in Snowden & Co's story than the opposite
Do you work for the government or tow the party line for fun. All your shit sounds like the old this is not "reasonable" this is a conspiracy theory line. When everyone knows the reality is that nothing reasonable is going on.
Yes and unlike Microsoft they probably don't give access to their exploits to NSA before they patch their systems. /sarcasm. They will say whatever the government tells them to say, your data is not safe, and if you don't think this is true, you're a fool and an idiot.
