The Slashdot article has been updated. Apparently Apple has reversed the ban now. But that doesn’t mean I will buy anything from them either. Not that I ever have.

Would need to be approved by the end user?
They don’t want it because it means whistle blowing and leaks can be used to quickly inform the public about their wrong doing and lead to them being held accountable. We need to push for the US to declassify everything even the most recent stuff. Enough of corrupt actors hiding behind secrecy. The world shouldn’t be safe for their false flags.
Back to thread topic: neither Hillary nor Trump could be elected nor remain in office if SAFE were up in running. All the hooks in the and the bribes would be known. Bar couldn’t have lied and covered for Trump under the Mueller report or even stayed around and the Mueller report wouldn’t have been truncated or limited and McConnel and the corrupt GOP senate would be facing their immediate impeachments and removals and wouldn’t be aiding and abetting totally obvious criminal behavior trying to set precedent out of permitting and aiding crimes and trying to claim they can override a full impeachment that has even more merrit than Watergate. By the way Jimmy Dore does a good job in my opinion of showing the otherside’s corruption.
I hope SAFE is up and running so it can help boot this guy in the election or before and so an example can be made of the case to end the nepotism and crime families in politics and end the idiotic notion that a ‘president’ is above the law. If anything presidents must be held to a much higher standard. I’d be in favor of them having to be on house arrest while in office.
I also think they should have to forfeit their wealth as a precondition of the office- straight up lose it. But then I think the presidency is a useless embarrassment that should be replaced with software and no matter what must be recognized as the weakest branch- not co-equal.
The less members the weaker it should be.
What phone do you have? Is an android phone any better?
I don’t use phones much, just my desktop computer. My main phone is somebody else’s old Samsung Galaxy S4, but it’s always muted. Sometimes I use it as a modem. I’m not sure it’s much better than Apples’s stuff. Maybe a bit less of a “walled garden”. I have really never used anything Apple. I’ve been giving old phones new life by flashing LineageOS (https://www.lineageos.org/) onto them. I’m not sure that’s possible with Apple’s phones. I have pre-ordered a Librem 5 (Purism– Librem 5) though, and I have high hopes for it.

I put lineageOS on a samsung s6. Seemed to work ok. Now use a blackberry which claims to be the most secure android.
The librem looks interesting but my need for professional finance software would prevent me for being able to use it.

The Russian Turla hacking group is something to be aware of. They are extremely badass.
I am not sure that the SafeNetwork users will be immune to this group, although it makes their life more difficult as they can’t do MiTM attacks on the ISP level, or hijacking BGP… this latest exploit of theirs of tampering RNG by patching browsers that is so clever

The link posted in the other thread, stated one key.
Maybe nord trying to downplay what happened.
Fossil fuel rent seeking would already be over. Now probably comes to a halt by 2025, starting with implosion in 2020. States will start tearing up fradulent fossil fuel contracts. Also going to get better accounting so they can’t claim retracting their fraud schemes contracts the real economy.
Guessing the continued investment in fossil will become illegal, same tools aimed at terror will be aimed at fossil fuel investors with asset confiscation and forfeiture and long term incarceration.
They are covering up fossil fuel rent seeking which is the definition of corruption and covering up its hollowing out of the society- a commodity the world doesn’t need anymore and really hasn’t needed since about 1950- a commodity that drives scarcity. What AU needs is plain old justice and law enforcement. They wouldn’t be alone in this.
But have to think AU allowed a sponsored (read captured) media which will always lead to tyrrany. A sponsored media exists to intentionally misslead the public about the public interest for profit. There is no greater conflict of interest and it is completely incompatible with democracy. Only a total idiot could believe that money is speech or that corporations have personhood and by extension actual human rights. There could be no greater recipe for a top down centralized (supply side) dictatorial cold sweat busy work plastic society.
But covering up the lack of social utility in rent seeking and covering up theft, fraud and corruption.
This is a big change in ransomware tactics and one to watch. No longer “give us money or we delete your data”; rather “give us money or we publish your data”.
