Is the Verified Boot with user-controlled keys still in user app land? The security services would not allow a phone to be network connected that they cannot listen, log, track even if another OS level OS is installed.
They faced contamination over a vast area. Water and ploughing was used to lock the contamination into a restricted zone.
The idea of a restricted zone is then not to go back and dig holes or do "agriculture".
Laws don't clean up contamination. Time and no access is the idea behind a restricted zone.
Who wins? A national super fund network with free and equal access so every US ISP can get vast amounts of HD content to each user from a few national servers?
Telco monopolies and cartels demanding a new "upkeep" payment to the east, west coast and fly over states per packet?
The telcos forget they just push packets. They are not making great content. If content is making billions in profit, become a content producer too.
If the US gets closed telco networks with packet payments in the east, mid and west, it will be cheaper to send content to every ISP on encrypted media per week by post:)
When you say America will be great again, do you mean America will be great for everyone..
Yes AC.
Less wars globally. More jobs in the USA for people from the USA. Less tax so you get to keep your wage and spend it on things you want or need.
Less big gov and hidden no bid contractors, less debt to service. Educational standards so the only the very best and brightest in the USA can get into the best US universities again.
Pass a real exam and secure a place at a really great campus. Pay your tuition or get a scholarship but the skills will be real.
Study with only the very best and get a great education. Have the freedom to find a good job thanks to a great education or start your own brand or company. Hire the very best people you want to grow your brand with. No big gov telling you how to run your company, who to hire, how many people to have on staff as your brand grows. If you get selected as a contractor, no having to find new staff. Sell a product or service to the gov per contract and face real competition just like in the private sector.
Create local jobs thanks to your skills, sell to the world on quality and price.
Yes AC moving video content will be the huge issue. HD and 4K video getting a free ride to consumer grade accounts on a lot of content ready devices at the ISP end.
The US has only so many wide fast interconnects nationally for consumer grade data.
Content providers are getting cash per show or movie. The national or local brand ISP is getting paid per account. Who is paying for the upgrade of the tubes and pipes that interconnect nationally?
Time for some infrastructure upgrade payments along the US wide, fat, fast networks. Pay up or the packets from that cheap fly over state hosting with dam power gets slowed before they ever reach a state with paved roads.
The content provider then has to make a per state and a national telco deal for real business grade networking. Pay for the upkeep of a real national network and get a real US wide connection.
All that national dark optical is in the hands of a few brands. Lots of local loops per state but the huge national telco interconnects never got much new private sector competition.
What can a content streaming brand do? Offer every big, medium and small ISP a "free" server and local storage of the most requested content?
Do deals with every city, state and national "telco" for access to their private networks to even get to the ISP?
Peer the HD data out to a multinational via Ireland or New Zealand and network the steam back into the USA wide via deals they made?
Re "This computer is for nuclear warhead design validation."
A new deep bunker busting design. A surgical nuclear first strike can be designed if the super computer power is upgraded.
Decades of jobs for contractors to design, create, hide the testing and produce new systems:)
Re "social media can cost you your career."
The idea was that social media would be like the friendships formed a nations best and most elite university social events.
Friendships and instant access decades later for jobs and trends with the very best people. Invite only would ensure quality and standards.
As social media opened itself to the inner city, random people with no education, police, private detectives, employment professionals really started to collect everything.
People got to be seen in connection with other very interesting people. So vast databases got created by the US private sector, mil, police and lots of other govs going back to the very first days of social media and web 2.0.
As universities opened to ever more mediocre applicants and lowered their standards to let ever more failed students in, the connections on social media hops of friends of friends got more interesting.
The middle class and upper class students are now in images one or two hops from people of interest to the police, mil, govs globally.
Apply for a job a decade later and all the connections can be found, recreated and linked back by the mil, gov, police, private detectives or a company hired to ensure only the best staff are found.
Papers to get work in other nations are also interesting. Found in a party picture with a person with a criminal record? That linked, friended, party with person is bad, too political, criminal, the work permit is slowed due to more character questions about the application. Sealed court paperwork in some city or state court might exist, best not to hire or allow entry for that person?
No company or brand wants that issue after a huge contract is signed and a vital team is blocked from travel by the easy to find past of one of its staff.
A team lost work in another nation due to a party photo or friend of a friend a decade ago.
Private detectives, employment professionals will sell many years of social media data to anyone who can pay. All the best brands and firms pay to have a complete past of their top applicants recreated in a nice visual timeline. Every party and class face listed and their jobs, work, politics, union work, protests, campus friends or criminal records get listed.
The US press and wider US intelligence community knew what the US gov and mil did to people who stayed, faced the US courts or thought they had press or gov protection. https://cryptome.org/2013-info...
Re "Who gets to decide what qualifies":
Teams of SJW's, staff from kingdoms, theocracies, cults, Communist nations, celebrities, NGO's, bureaucrats, mil/gov contractors, well funded activist foundations..
Web 2.0 and social media will be turned into a huge safe space.
Then they will come for search terms and stop search engines from finding actual results.
Language limitations and real time corrections in comments, apps, email, browsers to stop people from reading different ideas.
Free speech and fun will be gone.
Due to that gov sanctioned public private partnership all the best people, the fun people, the smart people will just drift to real US platforms that will allow freedom.
Freedom before during and after speech is what sells to the world. The internet will be fun again and the brands that failed to protect freedoms will just be understood as portals to boring govs and teams of SJW.
"CIA Chief: We’ll Spy on You Through Your Dishwasher" https://www.wired.com/2012/03/... and the UK having its Investigatory Powers Act 2016https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016 with equipment interference.
With so many mil and gov groups now interested in the IoT what can any firewall be ready for?
Be able to look for alterations, strange pushed updates not from the user, developer?
Re 'That means somehow getting a signing cert onto the device that all of the IoT things trust." would be good for GUI clicked update requests.
It all works well until the user lets the internet see a device and a device see the internet so it will finally work on their phone or on another computer.
That ramp up of packets out is hard to stop if its left wide open for CCTV been recorded on an internal network but it then becomes part of a swarm flooding an ip in another nation.
Users with click on anything in a GUI to finally get something networked but then feel safe they have hardware securing their network.
AV is really the better step. Try all the common pw/usernames on all local network devices and report issues to the user.
People recall PRISM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
and the Freedom that gets "NSA Can Access More Phone Data Than Ever" (Oct 20, 2016) http://abcnews.go.com/US/nsa-p...
"... the percentage of available records has shot up from 30 percent to virtually 100. Rather than one internal, incomplete database, the NSA can now query any of several complete ones."
The other fun part is the UK and its ability to legal to do "equipment interference" on any device connected to any UK network. So the tech exists. i.e. key logging.
From the UK side
"Equipment Interference DRAFT Code of Practice Autumn 2016" https://www.gov.uk/government/...
More that everything is in its place and tracked, signed. Any unexpected changes get noticed and reported. Kind of what third party OS level tracking software can do on OS X, Linux or Windows.
Software can track any app that wants to be persistently installed. When any new persistent component is added the user is alerted.
Other ways are to look at a tasks signature, dylibs, signing, network use and file access in OS X for example.
A more traditional OS might trust the user more and have much less feedback on OS level changes or files, outgoing network requests.
The other good factor is the code is new and in house, not built by brands that are happy to always help the US gov as a matter of policy.
Brands that are happy to sell/give/offer/include "encryption" and the US gov then gets the plain text.
For that you would need hardware without the walled app garden.
No phone home to the gov or mil, no demands to use the cloud, no SJW corrections, no junk encryption.
Any modern laptop that boots into a more freedom supporting OS.
Become a First Amendment US brand. Say NO to other nations cults, theocracies, monarchies, celebrities, gov workers, SJW and political parties.
Sell the freedom of speech only the US offers to the world on a US platform. Attract the fun and dynamic users from other gov friendly global web 2.0 brands.
Invite them in to enjoy the freedoms the USA has always protected and offered.
Be the freedom brand that stands out from the boring, safe global gov approved social media. Talk to the brands real users and creators and let other brands be the boring talking point publishers for celebrities, political leaders, gov workers, SJW, foundations and NGO's.
Offer video, voice and text chat that is encrypted. US movies, media, art, fun, creativity, comments, politics, jokes, sport... Everything other nations try to avoid, limit or control.
Bring back US freedom and fun with comments or news. Add a search engine that searches and gives users real results. Tell the world that the search results are not filtered by gov policy or SJW staff like other other junk global brands do.
Create online advertising to show why your brand works and how other brands have search filters and gov issues. What other nations and SJW won't allow will sell.
Offer a really secure pro or business version. Huge profits can be made with freedom as so few nations still have it and users will seek it out.
Talk to the best content creators and find out what they want on their phone, app, dslr, video camera and be the trusted, branded link to the web for them.
Be the freedom aware missing network link the hardware makers cant or will never be.
If a user has Mac, Windows, Linux, be the brand that gets all their really great content to the world.
Be the freedom platform, free to create, free to share, free to comment, free to tell a joke, have fun. Point out the chilling side to other global web 2.0 sites with their SJW and gov workers. Have some advertising fun with other gov's and the tame brands that serve them.
Monetize the freedom the USA protects. That "A" stands for freedom so tell the world about it.
and all the help US brands gave the US mil and gov.
When a US brand asks the wider global security community to do anything different, thats the time to start really looking.
Any safe product would not be doing anything to make any AV product interested over days, weeks, months of updates?
What is it about skilled, advanced global AV efforts that induced such a request?
Users need layers of good security applications. Intrusion detection, firewalls, working real crypto, software looking for changes deep in an OS in realtime, outgoing software firewalls...
Then recall what the big safe brand products did with PRISM.
Every type file sent up to a cloud provider gets scanned for AV and other reasons. Hope that one big encrypted file stays safe with the pw in the same OS that created it?
Better to be seen has having a huge political and legal issue.
Trust and faith in privacy is restored and the public goes back to fully trusting the brand and the networks.
Who would buy a US product if it comes with extra mandated hardware by big gov with logs ready for open court?
Junk trap door and back door crypto in every device as designed? The risk is the wider pubic stops talking online.
So a big public show was put on and everyone feels so safe to talk, txt on their big brand devices again.
NSA Can Access More Phone Data Than Ever (Oct 20, 2016) http://abcnews.go.com/US/nsa-p...
"... the percentage of available records has shot up from 30 percent to virtually 100. Rather than one internal, incomplete database, the NSA can now query any of several complete ones."
The US gov is getting it all. They just hope the wider public does not notice and keeps on trusting their fav US brands.
Expect every IM, website, and social media post to be readable with an ip and account details in real time by teams of in house SJW, NGO's and gov/mil staff.
So all freedom of speech is gone from any UK isp account with a UK ip.
Tempora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "gain access to large amounts of Internet users' personal data, without any individual suspicion or targeting."
Once noticed, expect computer entry. The gov and mil will enter and alter your computer, network or any other device.
Expect that device to report all movements if your in the media or in contact with the media.
Whistleblowers reaching out to the traditional media won't get beyond the first call or meeting.
What can the press and media do?
Create a series of devices and fill them with fiction. Reports, searches, contacts. Use any UK isp for searches for amazing new stories with background help from informants and insiders. Sock puppet contacts with details of meetings. Walk, drive out for such meetings so gps and other tracking can collect. Select a good location to meet "someone" handing over vast amounts of data.
Then do days of background research with as much jargon, mil, science and party political terms as possible.
Flood the digital collection system with a lot of work related fiction everyday in plain text. Any real contact would be without an electronic devices, away from CCTV. Any phone been given to a friend to walk around with and handed back later. Buy a typewriter. Create your own secure shorthand for paper notes. Learn about one time pads. Once a story is ready, publish early, fully and often. Expect all networks and digital files to be searched. So have a lot of digital fiction ready:)
The UK gov and mil hope that a lot of new SJW, gov staff and volunteers can cover an entire nation of networked users. Physical access to a site will be rare as such teams of contractors are so expensive and might be reported or seen. Buying any new computer or network device with a CC or online is a risk if working in the media. Expect upgrades as delivered. Use and buy any such devices for fictional creativity.
VPN and onion routing are not much use for the media given the public court reporting about online tracking at a now low cost per case.
Democracy and public interaction and the fear of been reported will be very chilling for democracy.
The other real issue will be for the reader comments in the UK. Expect SJW reporting to gov and teams of gov staff looking over any and all comments.
A good VPN well outside 5 eye nations or the EU might still allow freedom of speech until the comment is removed or comments get turned off.
Credit card use on a VPN would also be an issue.
"did not specify the nation-state or the specific effect"
So they cant name the nation but have a blog of detail about secret methods.
So we are to understand "two different hacker groups" swayed the votes of millions in the USA?
Hacker groups ran an election platform on a vision of jobs? Secure boarders? Less wars? Less debt?
Thats called an election platform. Policy statements that resonated with real people in the USA far away from the elite contractors, lobbyists, polling firms bureaucrats, technocrats, celebrities and tame media pundits.
Re " found inside the networks"... The reality would have been more of an insider walking out with material. Recall the Pentagon papers and its role in US domestic politics and freedom of the press?
How did the groups get identified? BEAR code that is really, really well understood and so very public people can blog about it?
But has existed since mid 2000s? Thats a good few years in the wild to understand its Windows entry.
The US public was told so quickly, so it had no national security interest or secure investigation. No US secrecy to protect counter measures, just tell the press everything? Nice detailed public blogs about such super secret and advanced nation only methods?
How about ensuring staff and random outside groups cant walk out with data in bulk? Use real encryption on everything... real encryption, not that tame backdoor, trap door gov approved junk.
Follow the funding and support by foundations, monarchies, cults, theocracies, kingdoms, NGO's and celebrities.
Teams of SJW's really like telling users what the 'net' will look like and how they can fix it with censorship and reporting users to govs.
All the fun people will exit to US platforms that offer real freedom of speech before, during and after a comment or link.
The US brands had it all in the US First Amendment but lost it all to SJW policy. Sell the US first amendment to the world and enjoy growth and a huge user base.

Re " found inside the networks"... The reality would have been more of an insider walking out with material. Recall the Pentagon papers and its role in US domestic politics and freedom of the press?
How did the groups get identified? BEAR code that is really, really well understood and so very public people can blog about it?
But has existed since mid 2000s? Thats a good few years in the wild to understand its Windows entry.
The US public was told so quickly, so it had no national security interest or secure investigation.
No US secrecy to protect counter measures, just tell the press everything? Nice detailed public blogs about such super secret and advanced nation only methods?
How about ensuring staff and random outside groups cant walk out with data in bulk? Use real encryption on everything... real encryption, not that tame backdoor, trap door gov approved junk.
Follow the funding and support by foundations, monarchies, cults, theocracies, kingdoms, NGO's and celebrities.
Teams of SJW's really like telling users what the 'net' will look like and how they can fix it with censorship and reporting users to govs.
All the fun people will exit to US platforms that offer real freedom of speech before, during and after a comment or link.
The US brands had it all in the US First Amendment but lost it all to SJW policy. Sell the US first amendment to the world and enjoy growth and a huge user base.
