I don't get it. Why would a car builder wants to have messages or any personaldata at all? Every fk corporation collects data. MS, apple. For whom or what purpose? For ads? Are you kidding me, fk ads doesn't work (50%) at least if they come as ads? So they want to develop "a friend" who thencommunicate with me to manipulate etc. ? How much does it calculate into the profit? Car is shit, but profit is good, because we have so many data now..ppfftt Do they just dump it to someone who then sells it someone else. My shitty texts? Ai does not make it better if quality of data is somewhere fk. This looks to me like the all corporation=gov goal. One part of preparation for day x, when their plan has progressed. Everybody wants to be a important part of it.

War is just horrible for liberty (goes for all countries). :(

UK is destroying itself lately

Selfhosting FTW.

Yep, this is a major design flaw. Then again, even from the start, the internet never had privacy in mind.

At first it was a bad design choice. Now it's seems intentional. Though, I know it's likely just lazy programming.

Definitely.

100%. And most not aware wifi devices share their saved network history with anyone listening (helping map out patterns of life / home / work / wifi use locations).

It's not just that. But, the fact that they are bluetooh or wifi enabled allows people you don't know to track you as well.

I can easily determine what bluetooth devices are near me. If a number of sensors were setup around an area, it would be easy to track people as they move around using just that.

Total bullshit. This is not OK.

I noticed drones flying in formation in an entirely different part of US this weekend.

Of course my sister thought they were 👽 aliens. Was a bit disappointed when I informed her. 😁

For some reason I was also under the impression that international airports also counted as borders as well. So, that would mean that every major city in the sates would be in that red range.

Food for thought.

What a loophole. Doubt most people living there have any idea.

Even worse, technically, the 'border' extends 100 miles inland within the United States. Your rights are extremely limited in these areas: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone

If you've ever lived in, visited or traveled through some areas of the American south, you may be surprised to find border checkpoints 80 miles north of the US/MX border, for example. Borders aren't just land borders, either, as it also includes sea/lake borders.

Then there is the classic bit of lifting prints after they hand you something.

Not cool.

Crooks don' t appreciate (anon) critique

That's already an issue. Have you watched news out of there? Such a disconnect with reality.

This is an old article, but very related.

Ever try to sign up for a VPS in that country? Every one of them states in the ELUA that you are not allowed to use Tor.

But, they are not the only country that does this. China is a classic example. But, even places like France do country level blocking of various content.

This is crazy. Could it be a bad sign of something to come?

Prevention of access to information.

This is not unexpected. How will this play with the use of I2P there?

Exactly. Scary how these power-houses of finance "nudge" various figures / open source projects, in attempt to force them to "align" with personal ideology / goals. It's very organized.

Financial E-Corp

That's exactly the problem. There is no accountability or transparency on how any of this stuff is used.

Such a valuable tool (to trash the constitution).

So very sad to hear the teasing of... (almost) a hint of accountability for it. 😛

Sad thing is, as we've seen in recent years, banking can be completely political. We saw those Canadian truckers and their supporters get their bank accounts frozen, we've seen merchant account platforms like PayPal and Stripe close access to companies based on frivolous reasons.

Cash is still king.

Social media is a dangerous thing. People overshare all the time.

No, I have not, I will check it out, thanks!

Thank you. I feel that it's very important to help out the community in ways that I can.

Have you been following my blog? That's also a good resource with articles going back a couple years.

Your site is one of the first I stumbled upon while first exploring I2P, it is an amazing resource. I check the new listings often to see if anything exciting is available. Thanks for hosting this.
