  • Probably could’ve worded this better.

    Maybe a “What have you all setup to remove these features, how are you running windows, etc “

    Best to lead with pure curiosity and questions than to lead with assumptions. We don’t know what we don’t know, and that also means that the depth of what we don’t know could be surprisingly deep.

    Stay curious!

  • Allow me to introduce the often abused Computer Fraud and Misuse act: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act

    If you’d like to lose the ability to use ANY sort of technology for decades if not indefinitely, go ahead with the greyhat stuff.

    The sector of lawfully using your knowledge for good is ever expanding and pays well. I’d strongly advise using your powers for good and dodge any unnecessary risk if you enjoy doing what you do.

    9/10 times, it ain’t worth the risk. Being strategic and thinking things over carefully (err on the side of least action) is going to benefit you

  • We’re on the same page here, I think it’s pretty likely that a lot of this stuff isn’t actually dangerous. Snowden leaks point out massive constructs to automatically read in info and essentially create a DB of intel

    And that was years ago. I find it highly unlikely that anything serious would slip through and go unnoticed on a search engine like google.

    Discord tho…

  • Mmm. So I agree with your initial assessment, but the later rationale not so much

    Disinformation is the tool used by war today. Russia is doing A LOT of it as of late coming up on this election cycle and could easily push propaganda and fake news via channels like this.

    Similarly, and on the other side of this coin, the US could also do this to push propaganda. You cannot trust things for face value on the internet.

  • But what we’re saying is that there’s a difference between a mistake/a hot-headed take and a pattern of abuse.

    Patterns of abuse need to be taken seriously and no amount of “we’re all human” will mend that, until they themselves choose reform. Plain and simple.

    People who choose not to agree to the social contract of tolerance, do not need to be treated with tolerance. Period
