Say the line Bart!
sigh, "Unlike insert socialist country here, the West has freedom of speech and the right to express your opinions without the secret police coming after you."
YAYYYYYYY!
it only enabled its operators access to encrypted communications...
what the heck? isnt this much worse than simple microphone access?
“only”
"We only broke into your house and stole your shit, we didn't stab you in your sleep. You're welcome. "
Reminds me of when the NSA was spying on Yahoo Video calls so they could do their early facial recognition training.
Since it was a platform mostly used for video sex, The NSA literally made a public statement saying they had a system to blur genitals and that they were "only" training facial recognition data.
My mind was fucking blown. Who cares if you film my dick? That doesn't let you identity me from the MacDonald's cameras you hacked into. The face data is what we were worried about.
They are also dirty grubby disgusting liars. They can turn on the microphone while it is off. While the whole phone is "off" which it never really is. That's why you can't buy a phone without a removavle battery.
“Only”
I think it means in the encrypted state. Still, bad.
Why does this not surprise me??
They hack Italian (i assume they are italian citizens) working with migrants. If real Italians arent safe from the Spying State, just imagine how safe the Data of South-Tyroleans is, italians northest province!
Are Italians discriminatory toward South-Tyroleans? Do they consider them Austrian and not Italian or something? Don't know the lore.
actually it's the opposite, or at least some of them don't consider themselves Italians.
There are Italians in South Tyrol, mostly in Meran and Bozen, which were given property and tax cuts by Mussolini to coloninse the Land. Many South Tyroleans were killed and their property stolen. The Italians still vote far right parties even after 80 years.
In Bozen you can still hear many say:"Speak italian, you are in Italy and South Tyrol is Italy."
which de jure its true, de facto not.
It kinda depends on how right wing you are afaik. There are German south tyroleans and Italian south tyroleans. I think the Italians were traditionally more left wing afaik. Tyroleans in general are weird as fuck and think they’re gods gift to humanity they will be dicks to other Austrians. There is is a tyrolean saying that if you’re not tyrolean you’re not human. Anyways Andreas Hofer is the man and reject vaccinations because they’re trying to infuse you with Bavarian ethics
If any one is tyrolean correct me if I’m wrong please
No
this is not how Italy works...
and who are you that you know this first hand? in italy? and even then you dont know as well as we do about the situation on the ground in south tyrol.
Cazzate
it seems I know it better than you though.
This software is a fucking scourge on the world. We need to switch back to the original cell phones where only one person can use the tower at a time.
The original cell phones were unencrypted and anyone nearby with a receiver could listen in on your call, no?
In other words, our good democratic ally in the Middle East is doing good things.
is this the part where i'm supposed to feign surprise? oh, gee golly heavens! i can't believe this!
