Well, maybe they can learn that there are other alternatives besides the american political system during those studies, and actually do something to change your broken system...
I can't exactly say that I trust NSA, and I don't doubt that they have knowledge of vulnerabilities that they aren't releasing.
But I still don't see how that could be a reason to not take this warning seriously.
I think that the cynical view of this would rather be that they consider the potential harm from someone they don't like, making a 1m machines botnet from this, to be greater that the benefit they get from themselves making a 1m machines botnet.
We probably won't ignore that.
So, the "signature solution" doesn't solve every problem, but I would still argue that it solves enough problems, that it would be worth spending resources on trying to implement it.
When I watch a video-clip of, let's say a press-conference, it would be nice to have a way to verify that the video-clip is indeed the one recorded by whatever journalist was at the press-conference.
It's not about camera hardware, it's about making it easy to check if the video someone is presenting to me is what they claim it is.
Neither Der Spiegel nor the Süddeutsche Zeitung have any reliable information about the motives of the people who set Strache this trap in 2017 or who they may have been working for.
But one thing is clear following the evaluation of the material and verification of its authenticity by two experts: It is in the public interest to know how Strache and Gudenus, high-ranking representatives of the Austrian government and of their party, responded to dubious advances from a purported oligarch.
Yes.
Or when the opinion: "group x are idiots for having opinion y." is hundreds of times more common than someone actually claiming to be an x with opinion y.
My first thought upon reading this was: "If you don't want to quit your job, then just stay."
So, is it you are working on a project, and when the project is finnished there is no work left, or do you think thay you will get fired, or what am I missing here?
he is accused of "spying", that is: collecting information about things the tunisian government doesn't want other people to know and then give that information to foreign parties.
His job for the UN was to find out if tunisia is violating UN rules.
In other words, he did exactly what they are accusing him of, just that it isn't spying because tunisia have themselves decided to be a part of UN.
The "incapable politicians"-part, are you saying that this is the case globaly or that it is the case in your country?
Because on a global scale I disagree. As an example, google "china and india planting trees".
Edit: Just to clarify: I think that we need both systematic and personal change. And in a democracy, a good way to make politicians care about a subject, is to make sure that they know that you won't vote for someone who doesn't care.
