  • It was my understanding that warrants were needed to force the acquisition of information, regardless of the type of information. Even call contents are allowed to be freely given to the police as long as you have legitimate access to it.

    So Verizon has the ability to say “no” to the metadata too.

    They just choose not to.

    They choose to sell it rather than force the police to get a warrant. Perhaps they give it for free, I don’t know, but either way, they’re not forced to without a warrant.

  • This is the question the entire article avoids.

    The article is written as if to try and get you to avoid asking it too.

    “Why was no warrant required for the data?” “Why are police allowed to just ask for your personal info without a warrant”

    What’s the point of warrants if they’re no longer needed? Like, warrants are supposed to be a crucial check on police powers, and here we are rendering them pointless.

    I weep for the future.

  • The txt entries are used to authenticate that you own the domain usually.

    Email provider X asks to to put a random string of characters in the txt entry because that validates that you have ownership of the domain. Nobody can take that string and do anything with it, and nobody else can steal it by using the entry because service Y will ask for a different random string.

  • Fear mongering by idiot cops that don’t know anything.

    The default settings is “only my contacts” so they have to be in your contacts.

    The phones have to literally be touching each other, so that’s really close.

    You also have to select the images and hit share for pictures.

    This is just a revision of airdrop really…

    Fucking idiots.

  • Sooo, we’ll call me an optimist, I believe people can be, and for the most part ARE better than that.

    My concern is that the psychopaths always win. At the top of the companies and countries, we mostly have psychopath leaders. These are people that treat society as a game to be won. To the best of my ability and reasoning, I can’t find a way to avoid that. Socialism, communism, capitalism, etc….

    There’s no system they won’t exploit because they all have exploitable holes. Normal people won’t sacrifice what’s needed to be a CEO, because it’s not worth it to them. They value their own life and family more than the power and money. They want enough control to feel like they can run their own life and enough money to eat and sleep. That’s a reasonable life.

    But in order to get ahead, you have to want that money and control almost as much as breathing. The system BREEDS psychopaths. They ALL do, because as time goes on, the requirements to get elected or promoted get harder and slimmer and require greater sacrifice. So only the people who care about NOTHING but getting that power will make it through eventually.

    ….. and I can’t solve that riddle.
