You seem to be functionally illiterate. I say sex-trafficking is basically a myth. The numbers you cite on it are entirely bogus. If they were even remotely true, the victims would turn up all over the place. They do not.
But here is the dirty little secret of all Data Leakage Detection and Prevention software: It does not work except against fully clueless people. It is basically just intimidation but lacks actual teeth. The only way to prevent data leakage is by treating your employees well and respect them. Because employee loyalty is the only thing that helps. I guess these companies have forgotten that little fact and are now paying the price for that.
So I take it this is a set-up where just some traffic goes into the tunnel? I did that with OpenVPN on Linux a while ago. Was a bit tricky and required policy-based routing because of DNS.
But if so, I gather the tunnel gets established fine, but routing of DNS-packets does no work as it should?
We are talking about sex trafficking of teenagers here and that is almost completely a fantasy-product of perverted minds. Incidentally, the media, the police and others have interviewed countless prostitutes from eastern Europe here and did not find a single "trafficked" one. The exceptionally few cases that are known are from customers that noticed something was off and informed the police.
"Ordinary" trafficking is a serious problem and happens in significant numbers.
If Apple had PGP-signatures on it, and the developers verified them, it would not matter where they got the XCode package. But yes, the slow download is a risk in itself, namely incompetent people taking shortcuts like happened here.
People vastly overestimate what Apple can do. Basically, reviewing an app for backdoors competently takes several times as much effort as writing it, and the people doing the review need to be significantly better than the original coder. It is a lot cheaper in practice to just re-implement with trusted people.
Repression will do exactly nothing. Remember that all crime is already illegal.
The easy solution would be for the coders to verify the package-signature each time they download a tool. It does require some minimal understanding of security (which most coders do not have) and the presence of said signatures. It has been done with PGP-signatures for security-critical FOSS software like the Linux Kernel, GnuPG, etc. for decades and is quite successful at preventing these attacks.
Only problem is that there basically are no "girls that have been trafficked". There are a lot of professional victims that simply make it up though and there is a whole "rescue-industry" that lives by exploiting those "at risk", hence the risks get manufactured and blown all out of proportion. They spew utter nonsense and have gigantic numbers of "victims", when in fact, it is extremely hard to even find a single credible one.
It is very likely the girl in question was not in danger. She will now be in fear of imaginary threats for the rest of her life, which will severely decrease her quality-of-life. I do indeed see evil here, and it is in the side of the parents.
Without trust, society eventually collapses. Yes, it is that bad. I agree though on this being an obvious step in "conditioning" the children to find the surveillance normal.
Yet some people around here claim AI is right around the corner...
Some people claim flying cars, the "singularity", robots doing all the work, etc. are all "right around the corner". The problem is with the idiots making these claims. The thing is that many, many instances of natural intelligence are not impressive at all.
Indeed. There is not even a credible theory how true/strong AI could be implemented. It may still turn out to be infeasible, or we may never get there without knowing why. The only thing that even remotely goes into the direction is automated theorem proving, and ion this universe that runs into hard physical computation limits a long time before it even begins to reach what smart humans can do.
The thing with the taxes here is that you can either pay them in full or not pay them at all (very difficult). You cannot "underpay", as they get all the data from employer, bank and insurance sides as well. As to "service by a friend", there are very generous limits here below which you do not pay taxes on them. So, yes, to the best of my knowledge (and that is what counts), I have never underpaid taxes.
As to tests, well, anything I regards as a test, I was honest on. Again, that is what counts. Their definition is irrelevant.
So sure, they may think I cheated and lied, but as long as I do not think so, I am honest in saying I did not. I could of course screw their calibration up even more by saying I did underpay taxes and I did cheat on tests, thereby lying on both according to my own view of things.
Of course, these tests are an excellent way to increase the number of psychos that can lie without physical signs on the force. On wonders whether that is intentional...

Regular trafficking is different.
... for a long time. Or at all.

All phones can be truly turned off by removing the battery and all batteries in phones can be removed. The question is how much damage that does.
I am wondering the same thing.
To be fair, this topic is a bit advanced.
Makes you wonder why:
1. Cell manufacturers are moving to devices that cannot be truly turned off by removing the battery.
Aehm, no battery - no power? How is that different from being "turned off"?
So I take it this is a set-up where just some traffic goes into the tunnel? I did that with OpenVPN on Linux a while ago. Was a bit tricky and required policy-based routing because of DNS.
But if so, I gather the tunnel gets established fine, but routing of DNS-packets does no work as it should?
And that may be the kicker. Outsourcing to India is dead if this gets to law and common practice.
Well, if you believe that then you just proved my point.
You have a mental problem. Get help. I am serious.

Seriously, how gullible can you be?
Classic phone reliability is deemed acceptable if the they have 5 nines. Less is seen as something that needs fixing.

Incidentally, that problem has been solved: http://www.dwheeler.com/trusti...
It takes some effort though.

Just like Watson on Jeopardy: Completely bereft of any understanding.
You are certainly correct on that. Also because there is a lot of money to be made that way.

True. Question is, would that be good or bad? With all the illegal and criminal stuff the FBI is doing, they may need good liars.
Of course, these tests are an excellent way to increase the number of psychos that can lie without physical signs on the force. On wonders whether that is intentional...
