  1. States had laws on inviting people into open private areas and allowing some political speech and not others.
    A neutral public forum.
    What was selective enforcement.

  2. Private Message on Facebook Data Collected By Quiz App Included Private Messages (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    A message that has valuable private data sets.

    The users actually thought private messages had something to do with privacy?
    Its social media, everything is for sale.

  3. Re:$.50 for every man woman and child on Northrop Grumman, Not SpaceX, Reported To Be at Fault For Loss of Top-Secret Zuma Satellite (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    The sales pitch?
    A satellite that can move around in space.
    That can see past clouds and look deep into bunkers.
    So well designed that people looking up cant see and plot the spy satellite at night.
    Its everything every past generation of US spy satellite was sold on in one new satellite.
    Improved and fast. With solar and nuclear power and big space harpoon for defence.
    Its got paint that astronomers cant see at night. A mission patch to confuse astrologers.
    A bona fide spy satellite.

    Thats the way it works AC.
    A user puts in a random month when creating an account.
    Social media friends and family then send the messages that show the actual month.

    That worked fine in chatrooms and forums well before social media. IRC, usenet, forums, websites had global use before ad supported social media.

  6. The digital Berlin Wall is up.
    Everything that was fun before is now a memory.
    Every CC use, ip, vpn use, ISP log, site visit, search term, file uploaded, the cloud, social media is now going to US law enforcement to sort.
    The US internet is now a trap.

  7. Social media on Don't Give Away Historic Details About Yourself (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Did what social media had to do to make a profit.
    The user is the product.

    Stop wanting to be that product.
    Turn off social media. Get a good VPN. Give your friends email. Use quality video chat. Join a forum, chat room on one topic.

    Social media uses that information to build a profile on you and your friends.
    What a person omits, fails to mention, lies about will be filled in by friends and family telling the truth. Data gaps are then not as privacy protecting as a state user expects.
    Stop using social media and the data-harvesting can be limited to each site and each area of interest.

  8. Buy faster internet. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stream/Capture Video? · · Score: 1

    That NN supporting paper insulated network is good for gif and jpeg.

    Buy a better pipe to the internet with a real ISP.
    Have a seperate CPU and GPU to encode the stream in real time.
    Get the result of that encoding to upload within the new network limitations.

    email and IM. The internet existed before social media. The internet will do just fine after ads supporting social media.
    Chatrooms and forums. That is what kept the internet going. Services that only worked on what they offered.
    Services that did not track and sell the users use of the internet.

    NSA likes to get in and stay in for decades. Hide and enjoy no crypto on the trusted side of a network.

  13. Re:That's not really how passwords are cracked on T-Mobile Stores Part of Customers' Passwords In Plaintext, Says It Has 'Amazingly Good' Security (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Set a limit on the length of password actually used internally :) Let user type in a poem every time and have it accepted within the GUI.
    A small set of data in plain text just got the time needed way down if the actual used pw length is near the plain text.

    Add in years of discovered word lists and that time could go down more.

  14. Nations, brands and their lawyers will just use fronts in the USA to present their issues as ads.
    All state and federal laws will be covered as part of the ad buy.
    Need some US id to get the ads working? Thats all part of the service.

  15. The ISP can then see some nice encryption.

    The religion of war can cover its propaganda under as freedom of religion.
    The teaching are perfect and direct from god.
    A faith cant be changed. The faith is spread by war as part of that faith.

  17. AC that depends on the US state.
    Some states did have laws about open space and political speech.
    Private property did not always stop open public political discussion in some US sates.

  18. Some nations tried that privacy laws idea with their decades of banking laws.
    In the end the USA got all the accounts it was interested in.
    Data is the same. A nation will be asked to help with stored data.
    They can quote their privacy laws as the data is collected by law enforcement.

    The US brand will have to reach into its data sets globally and help US law enforcement.

    Mutual legal assistance treaty like options within the EU and the way the NSA works with EU nations and the GCHQ will not allow the EU to offer any "privacy".

  21. All your US cloud data belongs to the US gov to collect it all globally legally.
    The Overseas word should be a hint its global.
    The US gov now has the legal privacy to do its data discovery globally.
