Building a surveillance state.
Want direct data devices locked down and proprietary (TPM and apple T2).
Want devices directly tied to the user. Want to prevent “hacks” that detect snooping or other low level background “proprietary” services that may be running.
My two cents. We are rushing to emulate china.
- swayvil 5y agoOh yes. The oligarchs over here look at China and think, "That's a pretty good system".
- mnouquet 5y agoIt is actually a pretty good system for the CCP "politburo".
- thescriptkiddie 5y agoUpwards of 90% of the population of China are CCP members.
- _carbyau_ 5y ago"Mr Xi oversees the party and its 92 million members — that might sound huge compared to Australia’s population of 25 million, but it is less than 7 per cent of China’s 1.4 billion people." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-01/ccp-100-years-chinese-communist-party/100222794 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-01/ccp-100-years-chinese... Honestly, that article has some shit "play with your emotions!" bits in it too but there are facts to be gleaned.
- justshowpost 5y agoIts actually much less innocent than it looks like. Add an additional 100-150M for Communist Youth, a subsidiary organization and 150-250M for Mao Judend, a subsidiary for kids. Its called totalitarianism for a reason.
- justshowpost 5y agoJust the same situation as in Orwell's Oceania. mnouquet talks about the Inner Party
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Upwards of 90% of the population of China are CCP members. Over 90% of the population of China are CPC non-members (membership numbers I can find are consistently under 100 million). 100% are subject to rule by the Communist Party of China, though.
- justshowpost 5y agoLooks like there is a need of explanation for that term. Politburo (= "Political Bureau") of Central Committee of Communist Party of Soviet Russia. Also, a Politburo member becomes The Chairman. In a nutshell, ringleaders of ringleaders of Bolsheviks. *MUCH* more equal than the others, naturally.
- mnouquet 5y agoAnd naturally, it's blasphemous on HN to speak about it.
- roody15 5y agoKind of. They look at China and see a new super power emerging rapidly. Attempting to copy what has worked in china ASAP.
- CyanBird 5y agoRather the other way around, China is rushing to import Spyware from the western companies for their own use https://theintercept.com/2021/05/25/oracle-social-media-surveillance-protests-endeca/ https://theintercept.com/2021/05/25/oracle-social-media-surv...
- no_time 5y agoThe fact that people are barely talking about this and everyone just accepted it as a new way forward makes me sadder than anything else regarding the future. I'm starting to think we are the odd ones from the bunch for questioning total state/corporate control over our communications/computation. I am honestly worried.
