How many judges hide their identity?

Judges and juries are at least superficially removed from that sort of corrupt incentive system.

The first is stupid. If there exists capacity to keep things private, why would I NOT want to have privacy? What is in it for me to let arbitrary others see everything I do and am?

The second so strange to hear. It is an argument for turning the slippery slope of privacy erosion that you try to resist into a waterslide that you should enthusiasticly throw yourself down.

Would moving domain registration into a public Blockchain allow for a more resilient and democratized internet?

I've recently started hiking and just generally going outside in my community more. When I relied on Google Maps I would get some random business highlighted when navigating around. Since I switched to Organic Maps I see trails, artwork, parks, scenic views, etc, etc that I never knew existed even in my own neighborhood. I also love the idea that if I find something not right on it I can just open up Open Street Map, make a simple edit, and improve the life of everyone else using the app that comes after me.

Just because they had permission before and after their actions took place doesn't make it ok if they didn't have permission at the time of the action. To say otherwise seems to be begging for abuse of a loophole. I guess that's why they had to claim the action wasn't one a warrant was required for...

Assuming those claims are true(I know, that is a big ask, but they claim it) what function do exceptions provide unless they are purposely giving those exceptions for the production and distribution of csam by those groups?

More likely their claims of the privacy and/or purpose are false.

If I understand correctly, the research was only possible because they were able to leverage the Google and apple APIs against each other. The lesson I get from this is these companies shouldn't behave like they exist in a vacuum and when exposing data or forcing global configuration (like the AP name) they need to be more careful.

Why do you say this? The NSA has done this exact thing in the past[1], so why give them the benefit of the doubt this time?

I don't know my point really except to bring up another instance where local emergency response did not make sense and it is incredibly frustrating when it causes additional harm.

The fact is that these are fellow humans who are suffering, not because we decided as a society that this was what justice means, nor because this was the result of some study that figured out this would decrease recidivism, but just because some for profit institution decided they wanted to do something that would directly result in them suffering. That is enough for me to support this lawsuit.

It is great that the people who had their video data provided to law enforcement were notified after the fact in this situation. I wonder how many people never find out due to national security letters not allowing it.

I do like that it encrypts locally on disk like it does in the cloud. Several other apps I've looked at has said at rest encryption isn't worth it, I guess arguing that users could use veracrypt or some other solution.

If I had to write a one sentence summary of Standard Notes it would be "An E2E encryption app first, a note taking app third".

The thing I have taken away from these continual Tell HN posts about Google acounts getting locked up because of 2FA is that the "something you have" factor needs redundancy. I now have my phone, and 4 yubikeys on my household's carkeys and a trusted friends and a family member's firesafe. These have also given me enough stress that when I visited home for the holidays I added to my aging parents' Google accounts with a handful of additional security keys to go with their SMS 2FA.

Personally I would rather have accounts which are secure and can be lost if I am not careful with my 2nd factors than one that has vulnerabilities that the whole internet can attempt to exploit, but I realize others do not have that same priority.
