Everytime something like this happens there should be droves of people telling folks about SAFE.

…once it is launched. Right now, it won’t do much to save anyone. I know we’re heading towards a usable release, but desperate folks need useful solutions right now.

" In a tweet Friday, Trump senior adviser Jason Miller wrote, “Disgusting. Big Tech wants to cancel all 75M @realDonaldTrump supporters. If you don’t think they’re coming for you next, you’re wrong.”"

I think that could still have happened on Safe.
Even though Safe Network is going to uncencorable platform, that does not mean that some users cannot be banned from services a company is going to provide. Of course there is probably going to be non-privately-owned services too. But I think there are also going to be moderated, reputable ones - whatever that “reputable” means in each case. I mean I would expect services with various repuations serving various camps etc. And people could get banned because of deviating from the line of any particular service.

Indeed. I think that the possibility of having moderated services is a condition for the Safe Network wide adoption.
The Safe Forum experiments that we did a few years ago show that the components needed for moderation, banning or muting are well existing within the Safe architecture.
It is a matter of how a service provider will choose to implement it.

I’d say that very much depends on the implementation on safe network.
If the application is based around viewing data on publicly appendable data, the app may only be able to filter what is visible. Moreover, other apps that read the same appendable data may choose not to filter it.
We must remember that data is owned by users, not by applications, in safe network. If a user wishes to publish data, the application cannot stop them. They may attempt to filter them, copy them/ignore them, etc, but the source data will remain.
I suspect tools to help people filter data themselves, or libraries to do the same for apps, will become a big area of development. Apps which do a good job of helping their users find the data they want will do well. Those which just censor stuff they don’t like may not.
It will be interesting to see how the change in data ownership will be reflected more broadly. Currently, app data silo owners get to pick what data can be stored and retrieved. When they don’t get to make that decision and anyone can read or write whatever data they want, things will get interesting!

Would be possible to have a kind of stamp service, so that for example nation-state could stamp presidents tweets (or whatever they will be called) with official stamp, and then when new president is elected, the old one’s tweets are not stamped anymore, but the new one is?
If it is possible, same stamps could be utilized in a milloin ways.
There would be nothing stopping an app from publishing an associated parallel appendable data item, which provided a filtered list, referencing the public data. Maybe this one would only be writable by the the app owner (user). This could either black or white list content based on the apps configured criteria. The app may maintain black/white lists for what they censor/broadcast, which would then be used to build the filtered list.
The above is just fag packet stuff - I’ve not given it lengthy thought - but I would expect a similar model to be adopted to allow apps to filter public content for the app users. I would also expect users to add additional personal filters to overlay or replace these, depending on requirements.
Given the Safe Network will allow anyone to write public data, filtering will become a much more important area for development. In legacy/centralised systems, it tends to be a combination of filtering incoming and outgoing content. With distributed data systems like Safe, you will only get to filter the outgoing content.
Ofc, some apps may only broadcast data which has been filtered and saved to another data structure which only they can modify. E.g. you would private message their account and it would be vetted and saved by their user to their data item. However, that would push the cost onto the app owner and remove control from the original data owner. It will be interesting to see how these demands are balanced, relative the user experience they desire.

Bypassing BitLocker in 6 easy steps
Given a Windows 10 system without known passwords and a BitLocker-protected hard drive, an administrator account could be adding by doing the following:
- At the sign-in screen, select “I have forgotten my password.”
- Bypass the lock and enable autoplay of removable drives.
- Insert a USB stick with my .exe and a junction folder.
- Run executable.
- Remove the thumb drive and put it back in again, go to the main screen.
- From there launch narrator, that will execute a DLL payload planted earlier.
Now a user account is added called hax with password “hax” with membership in Administrators. To update the list with accounts to log into, click I forgot my password and then return to the main screen.
Bypassing the lock screen…
Someone shared a repository of reverse-engineered TikTok source code, showing that it’s spyware and nothing else (surprise surprise) and then TikTok got in touch with Github (Microsoft) and used the magical power of copyright to have it taken down, Microsoft of course complied. I am not certain if this could not have happened on safe? If Safe licensing allows propietary source code maybe it could…? In either case, ease of whistleblowing could possibly make things like this a lot harder to keep secret

How do you take perpetual data down? How do you take down a network hosting perpetual data when it is decentralized and distributed and no kill switch exists?
In time, laws will bend around safe network, not the other way around. That’s going to take a lot of getting used to for many folks.

There’s been some craziness going on where people are pumping stocks with large short interest. Today the sub got shut down, although maybe only temporarily.
