Of course Telegram worked in Belarus, why would Lukashenko block the unencrypted messenger operated by his allies?

The original claim is the one which requires evidence, much harder to prove a negative.

Are Element and the Matrix protocol situated in authoritarian countries, how can they disagree Anyway, no, this doesn’t reflect real usage.

This is exactly how FOIA works, it’s rare that you get a real response without appealing at least one of these denials. Very often they will not comply unless you file a lawsuit to show that you’re serious.

I don’t think that your comment acknowledges the reality that FOIA responses are decided by RNG unless you sue.

Is this not a super standard FOIA response?

This is not corruption. Nobody is abusing their position for personal gain, the government (on behalf of the society at large) is simply accepting a payment to compensate for certain activity with negative externalities.

She said all kinds of things that would trigger investigations, everything from threatening the president to searching for foreign state hackers to attack the US with her. Surprisingly MSFT still hired her after this

She faced a FBI investigation over the threats she was making during her rants, not because she dropped 0days publicly. It is not very cool of you to falsely insinuate that these things are related.

Irrelevant, the judgement says apple can still take 30% even if you do that.

An0m (the product) would be legal regardless of who operates it. An0m did not enable any illegal actions, those same acts would have taken place regardless of An0m.

Not really. An0m wasn’t illegal, provided useful actionable intelligence and didn’t enable anyone to commit crimes. Running a platform to let anonymous vendors sell credit cards in exchange for untraceable cryptocurrency isn’t really going

Because this would be a huge waste of time, illegal and counterproductive. The PR shitstorm would be massive if the market reached any meaningful size. Even co-opting existing sites for limited periods of time has been controversial, nobody

Why? Apple hasn’t lost their 30%, and there’s no indication that they will.

No way this is a honeypot, LE would just co-opt an existing market instead of trying to build their own. DeSnake has cryptographically proven his identity and there’s never been any indication that he was busted. Edit: I’m happy to commit t

No point, because these companies really really want to pay these ransoms they won’t have any trouble delivering millions of usd in cash to someone in Russia. Ransomware does not need cryptocurrency.

I feel like the path to being a successful influencer is fairly clear too, since you get almost instant feedback it’s not too hard to figure out what works. It’s really not as difficult and risky as people outside the field like to make it

> human error (download and installed malware) and not a poor tech solution (firewall was open) These tend to both be examples of poor tech solutions, unless it’s your sysadmins being tricked to download and install malware.

Basically only sex trade related platforms can be big sources of such tips, Backpage was the biggest sex trade platform.
