True. Or it could have been a backdoor in his phone, or the full running browser in his sim card, or the backdoor into his CPU chips… Maybe they do old fashioned police work for these cases and only use the pegasus spyware for others?

Pretty silly to do anything illegal on a computer when we know how flawed they are, imo

Yeah, hosting it on Tor or i2p will be beneficial for those clients who don’t want to browse the clearnet. I think most all sites should have both

Fuck this human

Tldr; Asshole used encrypted everything and Tor to create and spread csam. Government isn’t disclosing how they caught him

Massive amounts. In the US, see Texas and how their energy grid has been under massive strain since new data centers are popping up there. It also uses a massive amount of water and natural resources. Global this happens, it’s one of the more obvious ways of direct impact our resources and energy

For an example: Watching a DVD locally has an immediate energy use, and that use is monitored and then sold to data brokers by the energy companies (at least in the US). Pretty much end of story.

Now the same movie being watched on a big streaming service, they use AI to process and suggest the movie, catalog and analyze every other user data to build their algorithm and AI better, and then usually sell that data to data brokers who then sell to other data brokers… Not to mention the servers needed to route the traffic to the correct computers and all of the computers in between. And that’s just considering a private use of a streaming service directly without a smartTV and an ISP that isn’t also selling their browsing habits…

Which all require energy, water and precious metals, few if any are “green” or cleanly extracted

Being private actually helps with global warming, AI and human rights because it gives the beast less to feed on. Less data or “good data” means fewer computers processing data and wasting energy.

Keep it up, you’ll find yourself in more interesting circles than the mindless consumers

::edit:: On your comment of the end of civilization, yeah, being private might save your life or others. Historically data collection and processing makes it easier for bad people to hunt down other people.

Not saying this will happen, and I don’t believe it will, but if you’re worried about some scary future, then keeping yourself private might be beneficial

What system is this? Miyoo?
