Discord specifically stated that they will not implement e2ee so they can continue to spy on their users, because “Think of the children!” https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/8nzb5d/why_is_d...

How do you decide who is and isn’t a journalist? Can journalists really do no wrong?

The legal system wasn’t even involved here, it’s just a letter. What you’re proposing would make civil suits vastly more expensive, making them even less accessible for the little guy.

But is it a problem with the old laws (e.g. ITAR)?

I fully appreciate that it can be very hard for smaller operations to deal with legal threats, but is this really a legislative problem as rahuldottech suggests? I have a really hard time imagining any reasonable legislative solution to thi

Your comment violates the FCRA, delete it immediately. It’s easy to make claims like this, but is it really a problem with the law if someone is making frivolous claims?

> I keep telling the IT people at my hospital to stop using SMS 2-factor and they blow me off and treat me like an idiot. Well... yeah. Nobody is sim swapping hospital staff. It’s not great, but this isn’t a real threat they’re facing.

> Click fraud doesn't fuck over online advertising platforms, if it goes undetected it fucks over advertisers who use the platform. Sounds like the same thing to me!

I think most people fail to realize that excellent fake IDs cost like $50. (A tad more in the EU because of the lower drinking age)

Am I just super jet lagged, or does Malwarebytes seem to avoid talking about what this “malware” actually does? Is it just click fraud like the malware names suggest? That would hardly hurt the users. Some might even think that click fraud

My rent is firmly in the Bay Area territory, so probably not. Anyway, none of these guys do KYC.

At least in Europe we’ve got a plenty of highways where you can reasonably go past 120mph as long as you use the GPS to preemptively slow down for merging traffic. Of course, this will certainly not be viable during the typical commute hour

Huh? The world is full of exchangers that require no KYC whatsoever. The Russian guy who pays my rent with SEPA transfers has never asked for my name.

I’m sure you’d have no trouble finding someone in Iran willing to take BTC and pay literally anything for you. Sure, there’s still paper money involved at some point. But there’s no need to use western exchanges directly.

Meh, it’s all public data anyway. The only “victim” here is CheckPeople, but I doubt that this will have any impact on their business.

Gandi was deploying the ID verification as a bullying tactic long before anything like that was mandated by ICANN. (Not that ID verification is even mandated now)

This guy is a downright idiot if he thinks that he has any more control over his keys on desktop Linux without actually auditing all the source code himself. The idea that ElementaryOS is less likely to steal your coins than Windows or OS X
