  1. All the fun users will move to great new brands and then attract people who enjoy fun and freedom.
    A SJW ban does not remove freedom from the net. Sites that support freedom of speech and freedom after speech just get all the fun users.

  2. If a nation, cult or faith has a good share of a US brand, blasphemy would be a nice new issue for trusted SJW to look out for.
    A mil gov, Communist party, theocracy or monarchy buying into a US brand might have other lists of banned ideas and history too.
    Its kind of their "US" brand too now and they have a say.
    Add in the EU govs that want IP's and reports on people commenting on wider EU policy.

  3. The really fun people will move back to US networks that offer freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
    The international sites that have groups of SJW and hero's looking for blasphemy to ban will attract very boring govs, theocracies, Communist govs, celebrity staff, political staff.
    Sites packed with SJW will be boring, a place to read about your local gov, monarchy, theocracy, some celebrity branding their latest product or project.
    A brand offering their services or support.
    Everything anyone could get on any safe space portal or web site in their own censored nation,
    The only thing that set US brands apart was freedom of speech, jokes, fun and pleasure.
    The freedom to comment and not be banned, reported or see account details passed to any gov/mil for any reason.

  4. Selected teams of SJW and party political hero's will do it for them.

  5. Re:No Innovation in China on China Chases Silicon Valley Talent Who Are Worried About Trump Presidency (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Many in the mid/top in China are in the Communist Party or mil. With that comes a set of rules. That foreign travel and education, a good home, nice school, safe food, access to a lab, staff will come with a lot of rules.
    A mid ranking mil uniform to work no matter the job, tasks or position. Surrounded by orders, uniforms, rank. No freedom, any comment gets reported, been denounced or reported on is an every day risk.
    The freedom in the West for further education is to learn and bring back ides, tech, trends, insights or spy on Western campus dissident or faith groups.
    Long term China can only buy into the West and hope the in house Western tech is advanced enough to get a few decades of advancement. Before needing to buy up the next Western brand.
    A call back of people to China does not really help China. China is full of mil and party members who all know how to serve the system.
    The West has its growing, failing, bankrupt churn of the very best ideas with freedom to fail, freedom to talk, freedom after a conversation, freedom to publish, freedom to find funds, freedom to seek the best teams, to work alone or on campus, or be part of a large company or have a huge campus, freedom to read any book or enjoy a movie. To find the very best graduate or PhD without needing political approval.
    Thats is what makes the US so attractive to China. Ideas flow in the West without party political bans, exclusion, loss of education, loss of healthcare, only been given really bad accommodation, loss of Communist Party privileges.

  6. The US medical system fixes that issue by not reporting, looking for or finding such bugs.
    Every bug hunt is days of profit bed closures, expensive and excessive ward and room cleaning, boring staff training, waiting for results often by expensive outside labs.
    The word accreditation costs a lot when the hospital has a small self accredited lab thats always worked well.
    Fancy equipment and international standards then get mentioned in reports that show profitable local hospitals as having issues.
    State and federal bureaucrats ask questions, walk around, look for files, do interviews, the media finds out, fully insured patients start looking for clean hospitals online... and even write their own reviews.
    Just clean the rooms and equipment. Next payment and add in the patient.
    Every adverse event is then self signed internally and never has to be noticed by medical experts, the media or collected internationally.

  7. AC its not measles, whooping cough, mumps, scarlet fever, HIV, scabies, tuberculosis, leprosy, syphilis, gonorrhoea or diphtheria.
    Think of all the scientific and cultural enrichment for the US doctors.
    Why even track or report the issues when free US medical care will help every illegal migrant?
    Better keep tracking the tuberculosis, leprosy, syphilis, and gonorrhoea.

  8. Think of it as politicized medicine.
    Pathology and epidemiology something that most advanced nations teach and do well is often not liked in the US.
    In the past it tracked pollution related issues. The US private sector and mil did not like that kind of information to be public given the types of exposure workers suffered.
    Other nations could then locate US production, factories, workers, the raw materials or advanced materials due to decades of health issues, early deaths.
    The open boarders policy that brings in vast numbers of illegal immigrants and refugees now flood the US health system with lots of very expensive to treat and always reportable conditions.
    So the US gov just stops reporting, tracking or publishing medical issues and its all just happy junk science again.
    US pathology and epidemiology only gets to publish and track good news stories.
    In the rush to revise and hide conditions, the party political need not to track, state medical services now have to try and fill the medical reporting gaps.

  9. The US party political system did not want a vast jump in such issues to be collected and published thanks to the vast numbers of illegal migrants and refugees entering the USA.
    So the US gov altered a lot of reportable health issues from the watch lists.
    Pathology and epidemiology at a US state and federal level was getting weak and lacked basic collection of stats most nations always collect and publish.
    "Medical Examination of Aliens-Revisions to Medical Screening Process"
    https://www.federalregister.go...
    All kinds of issues got " revised" like active tuberculosis, infectious syphilis, gonorrhoea, infectious leprosy, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection ..."
    Some issues related to TB is about all the US gov wants to track.
    State health tracking issues like this just bring back what the wider US gov wanted to hide.

  12. The next step will be the full gov empowerment of volunteer SJW per site to track, report and help remove ISP accounts.
    The provider account and user's premises will be blocked from the internet, voice services only. If the user registers with any new UK provider, the block stays.
    Rent a new premises, change device the block follows the person.
    A UK user still has the freedom to comment on politics but an empowered SJW will always report them.

    The SJW and NGO's have been thinking about that a lot.
    Soon a persons ISP account details will be matched in real time to a live IP with few court papers needed.

  16. In the past domestic court use of spy logs had to be hidden from courts so interesting people would feel free to talk on a phone, use a fax, open a bank account, talk to their lawyers, offer a bribe, sell information... the GCHQ would get it all as the wider public never saw the legal results in open court..
    Now years of domestic spy logs are legal in local courts. Encryption is junk and the UK gov can legally hack any computer or network it feels like with very few limitations.

    The UK has always spied domestically and globally. The only thing that ever slowed the UK domestic spying down was budget issues and waiting for NSA contractors to install upgrades.
    From the 1914 Defence of the Realm Act (DORA) to getting all calls to from Ireland, Government Technical Assistance Centre to National Technical Assistance Centre to todays legal domestic equipment interference and ISP logging.
    Generations of UK politicians are addicted to the flow of domestic signals intelligence.

  18. The media and bloggers in different states can use FOIA or local laws to see what they can find.
    Paper work should exist at the city and state level that covers budgets or support services for such devices.
    It might not be listed digitally at a national or state level but a physical paper trail might still exist locally.
    If your state has laws that allow state documents to be seen and copied a lot of local information could still be accessed.
    Many state and city workers will request a person shows ID and then return days later to be told that no documents exist. Try to have budget papers, contracts printed in real time if state law supports that access request.
    Most states know to hide federal task force support/funding/contractors. As local budgets can now cover device use, city and state funding becomes more clear.
    City workers or local contractors will diligently track everything in a local budget for the public to request :) Florida's Constitution has some great reading on that type of local law.

    From a big brand, telco, US OS, consumer product or service who wants to sell int he UK everything will have to revert to plain text, voice or other useful data as sold.
    If the app is secure, the junk OS that it works on will capture what is needed.
    The best tool the security services have is tending apps that are offered as free, secure and have huge amounts of global users built on junk crypto.
    Its hard work to sell against free and to get other users using bespoke working secure solutions.
    Any for sale encryption scheme will face "free" junk apps that everyone wants and that offer the security services a backdoor.
    If the app is free and has really great crypto that works, expect a lot of fake stories about developer tension in the project until the best crypto staff move to other tame projects or are replaced by people with less skills or who are informants. The next upgrade is then junk or tame.
    Front companies offering free crypto apps with translation, languages are also used to out pace any emerging secure apps and have glowing crypto support and reviews.
    Over a few years most users globally are trusting junk crypto, front companies with security service staff or projects with few staff able to secure crypto over the project.

    They will just revert to the trusted networks of the 1950-80's. A holiday, tour, massive flow of illegal migrants, students, study trip or part of the jet set. Takes a few days or weeks for the round trip but no calls, voices or computer needed. MI6 or the CIA might get a photo of a meeting but if nothing is said and no later digital files exist...
    The security service contractors sold the UK that every interesting person, group cult, faith, political party, criminal would always talk on the phone (voice print), use a fax and have network computers, bank accounts just like in the 1980's over the next decades.
    A phone call, file, computer network would always play a key role in any activity.
    The interesting people just revert to their own face to face global networks. For that the security services need local informants. Thats hard too if interesting groups are closed and never need strangers.

    The use of working encryption will be something the GCHQ will find as all other messages resolve to plain text thanks to UK and US vendor cooperation.
    Junk US and UK encryption will be on most of the normal OS devices and systems.
    Most of the IM services are logged or the surrounding OS is full of trapdoors and backdoors.
    They will then look at the surrounding software and hardware to see what could log input. Remote code update for your UK telco approved phone.
    If its really bespoke some extra gov hardware for a motherboard, keyboard will capture any data entered before encryption.
    Some form of one time pad created away from the computer or telco device and a photo might work.
    The security services would know a message was sent, the origin and who got the message but privacy would be ok for a while :)
