How many people would have to know about it? If they can keep the team that implements it to say, 50 or fewer engineers, it wouldn't be much at all to gag them

How many people would have to know about it? If they can keep the team that implements it to say, 50 or fewer engineers, it wouldn't be much at all to gag them with an NDA.
- AlexandrB 2y agoNot just an NDA, but probably an NSL[1]-style non-disclosure requirement. How many are willing to go to jail or exile in a foreign country to reveal this kind of thing?

- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y agoMy guess is that, were this to come to pass, the engineers tasked with implementing (and maintaining) it would be located in the UK. That way, if they do get in trouble with this for leaking, the UK's jurisdiction comes into play. Even as shitty as some say the United States is, no one's being extradited to the UK for violating that. Nor, for that matter, would they be able to much punish them with breach of contract, once people start crowing about human rights violations.
