Oddbean new post about login | logout I walked the floor at ISC West (international security conference) last year for shits and gigs. It was fucking terrifying… The level of sophistication in surveillance software/hardware is so far beyond what people think it’s insane… and as more and more datasets get integrated together, it only gets worse… And this was just the stuff they publicly showcase to any Jabroni like me who walks the floor…
Don't worry, it's going to get worse.
Thanks for visiting Nostr today :D Snowden: We are all screwed. Anyways, back to parenting.
This is why Tor, Nostr, and Bitcoin are some of the most important tools being built today. nostr:nevent1qqsd67dvgjk2fjxtgwnhaaed40r9x5lzy6c8frseld0fmyx5wkm8s9gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygyymmnwvah9hdnmft2wqsk0wr9as6q32hd4xk2zlnr2q5ectznjgqpsgqqqqqqs7qsqr0
Both are now illegal. All done. Shows over.
Oh cool another fake government npub.
We are official. Do not listen to any other account.
dont forget bittorrent
True.
Yeah with that attitude
Up until the money dies. Once that happens, who’s going to continue to fund sophisticated surveillance? Governments need citizens and currently there is no need to compete for them. Citizens should have zero fear about their digital footprint. It will change. These things take time. But I agree, currently in clown world under the fiat standard the sky is the limit.

Had a recent incident where I was surprised to learn how someone found my contact information. I always thought I kept my personal details offline/non public, but apparently that's not as foolproof as thought!
I tried saying, and repeating 20 years ago to anybody who would listen. The government should be banned from leveraging computers in ANY way to tally, track or process any data about US citizens. Including the IRS, DMV, as the lowest level. There will never be an exit from this.
Would the government ban itself from this? You can't solve the problems caused by the state through the state.
Theoretically, there is a Congress, which represents the best interests of the citizens who elect them. Of course, most here know that's a fairytale. Nullified in the early 1900s
This is one argument for the abolition of the income tax. It eliminates one source of information gathering/ surveillance of the public and all of your individual and household economic activity. Pretty much every other tax is preferable to the income tax from a privacy perspective. #taxes #privacy nostr:nevent1qqs93zaskk4zd4kapumpmrxr4ylecyfx7dee8r4cm5zcs5eynxtuhdgpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqan986kedkvzx46hveujfe0khcay7a7yxnt5g7u2pgqcffqg4zzgqvzqqqqqqyfvjs02
I don't like any taxes, but If we are going to have taxes, I'd like to replace 100% of taxes with a sales tax and that tax must be broken out showing how much is paid to each level of government. If everyone time someone bought something, they saw how much is being stolen from them they'd be a lot more likely to complain and realize they aren't getting anything for free. Right now, because income taxes are taken out before they receive a penny, lots of people don't think they pay any taxes so they truly believe they get lots of free stuff.
I'm not sure people understand how invasive it'll get. I've been working on a graduate engineering degree. All the new research projects have AI integrated into them.
