How law enforcement gets around your smartphone’s encryption
by professor rat 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Law enforcement has significant help from assets located in outside areas such as John Hopkins and Conde Nast. However the crypto ' arms race ' continues to favor the cypherpunk. We see that when a head-pig like Jim Comey starts squealing about CLIPPER TWO. Since that didn't win him any new fans it must be assumed the Fucking Bureaucratic Imbeciles ( FBI ) are still paying beaucoup dollars for Apple crackers. TL/DR the cryptoanarchist revolution continues to spread around the world - increasingly even being helped by govts like red-fascist China's and socialist institutions like the pentagon - then, certain LEO morons and nosebleed types like Nuclear Wintour, don't like this which is very good. We will win.

Someone is wrong on the internet

First off it is " crypto-anarchy ' not ' crypto-privacy ". Second - Eric Hughes was a cowardly traitor who defected soon after 9-11 Third - taking a snapshot of Btc as it is shows its not as it was - nor what it could be. Fourth - its usually the worst charlatans and quacks that quote Marx approvingly. Finally - the excellent is the enemy of the good. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-has-become-nothing-but-the-new-che-g…

Another thing that is incredibly important is having immutable records of what these algorithms have done. Facebook lets me download my history, but not of how their algorithms have treated me, only of what I have posted. > I don't trust corporations here.

When and how did you feel that you were subject to harm on-line? This is very hard to share and remember and I am simply starting with your questions from the beginning. I am going to leave a lot of information out, and will have more information in different states of mind, later. Around 2012 I participated in activism and discovered malicious [things] in the devices of activists. Many of their devices were simply not being used because they had been maliciously disabled. This later happened to my devices in coordination with algorithmic harm. The algorithmic harm became clearly apparent some months later when facebook began filtering my messages and those of others. Comments would only show up to some people, not to others. Long story short, a handful of us were roughly enslaved by the algorithms. Three of us were diagnosed with schizophrenia in the same year. Many others began posting to facebook as if they were talking to god, or have otherwise revealed that they were enslaved at that time. We were trained to disrupt the behaviors of others, to disrupt our own lives, and to cover it up and delete the evidence of this. The mechanisms of slavery ranged from organised social group behaviors to socially isolating bubbles of communication and extensive timed display of triggering or relaxing imagery, and happened over multiple years. Many of the people involved are dead now or deleted their accounts. > 2.

We need to be able to understand exactly how they make decisions, and change what these decisions are. We need channels to work with support when the decisions are severely harmful. I don't trust corporations here. They aren't used to transparent protocols and design. I trust open source technologies. > 4. Did you take any measures to address this issue through the social > media's protocols, and what was the response? I have never received a reply from Facebook's support team. I suspect they never received my complaints, because I worked with them before this issue and the were quite friendly. Sometimes when I push an issue very strongly and clearly and keep making it larger, it will resolve itself only to the point that I am addressing, usually without anyone from the company talking to me. > Thanks so much for being willing to share.
