This feels more like "AWS problems" than "China problems." I was up and running on Aliyun in ~10 minutes, with a personal ICP license issued to me (a US citizen) in about 10 working days.

None of the regulators have signed off on this yet. I'd expect heavy regulatory scrutiny, and the deal may well yet be scuttled as a result.

This feels like the beginning of a horror film: how long until the demons start crawling out from the centre of the earth?

This problem was largely "solved" years ago, when browsers, email clients, and major social networking platforms started showing the punycode representation of IDNs.

Chelsea Manning was imprisoned over something very different: she was a US soldier, not a private citizen, and she made public internal government documents, not a letter explicitly addressed to her. Different standards do (and, IMO, should

In my experience, the Vine reviews have always been clearly marked in bold green text at the top—while you can't filter them from being displayed, it's pretty easy to ignore them if you want to.

Article mentions that there are indications this was in the wild as far back as iOS 7, suggesting this isn't directly linked to that Zerodium bounty.

The page in question appears to be back online [1]. I suspect that, when you're dealing with what must amount to tens of millions of reports a day from users, mistakes are made. Thankfully, it seems like this one was corrected. [1]: h

This type of behaviour unfortunately seems to be becoming a trend. While not nearly as bad as a raid, Facebook called out a US county prosecutor for attempting to have a page criticising local officials removed in its last transparency repo

Given that my understanding is WhatsApp/Facebook are quite literally unable to comply because the content doesn't exist (yay, E2E encryption!), this is also an absurd, disproportionate response. But, unlike the usual response of

Does the terrible resolution not drive you mad? I recently tried watching an old VHS tape on my HDTV and was shocked by how awful it looked.

While it might be disappointing, I firmly believe this is a technical and business decision, not a conspiracy. If you look at the features Messenger offers, and the direction the product has been moving, it relies heavily on server-side tec

In this case, seeing as COPPA is a US law and the kid in question is from Finland (and thus likely under Facebook's EU subsidiary), I'm guessing not.

There seem to be a few problems with this analysis. First, WhatsApp is a US company and has no presence in Brazil. Under many readings of US law (specifically, ECPA), US companies are in fact prohibited from complying with requests from f
