I’m sure the FBI will be dispatching a team of experts to immediately investigate the servers at Meta, seize and analyze the offending content, and rescue the children being abused.

How about another congressional inquiry with Zuck’s robot doppelgänger?

Or, maybe the latest rogue Meta AI could be used to regulate Facebook advertising content instead of boosting stock price.

Mandate that websites support ad-blocking? Stop using Facebook?

What am I talking about? None of that will happen of course, that would be insane! Let’s just continue on as if everything is normal, because that’s what this is now. This is what’s normal in a world with the Meta corporation.

Fun fact: Microsoft will try to guess your passwords to open and scan your encrypted archives when uploaded to OneDrive.

Microsoft also hands your BitLocker recovery keys to the government on request.

Microsoft also uses your local machine’s GDID to deanonymize and track you across the internet for the government.

These are paid surveillance services Microsoft provides to the government, paid for by your tax dollars. No wonder they desperately want to force you to use OneDrive.

This warrantless mass surveillance technology chain can also easily be used to silence dissent, chill speech, and oppress by race, religion, gender, sexuality, pregnancy status, and any other status so deemed problematic by those with state power. This is not a power delegated to the government by the constitution, and it was not built to protect the people.

We accept impositions on our liberty for the protection of the general welfare. Did this actually protect us?

Tunick asked four times during the interrogation to speak with a lawyer, but was rebuffed each time, according to courtroom testimony. Additionally, the agents produced no warrant and did not read Tunick his rights.

If he’s not even accused of a crime, how is wiping his phone “destroying evidence”? What is the crime being committed here? You are allowed to wipe your own phone, and technically he didn’t even do that.

Furthermore, asking a suspect for their passcode is bargain basement police work. Being surprised when this doesn’t work seems pretty incompetent. I think they’re throwing the book at him because they fucked up.
