That fuckers names been in my head since I read about DARPAS Projects TIA and Lifelog, his ties to them, and how he helped fund Facebook, right after founding Palintir which makes predictive policing software.
I feel like a fucking madman even saying that shit, but this guy seems to always be up to something no-good.
No but there should be “Malicious by Design” stickers for:
- non-optional/on by default telemetry
- non-optional/on by default advertising
- vendor lock in
- DRM (Digital “Rights Management”/Digital Restriction Malware)
- Rootkits/root lockout
- premanantly locked bootloaders
Im aware this would pretty much require all commercial tech products to carry one of these labels. To that I say good. Large tech firms have been weaponizing the computer illiteracy of the average smartphone user so they can normalize corporate malware. It’s so bad they’ve even made up new names for types of malware to make it sound okay:
- spyware became telemetry
- adware became targeted advertisements
- vendor lock-in became walled-gardens
- bootloaders and root permissions were perminantly locked “for security”
- Rootkits where pushed under the guise of DRM, or even Anti-Cheat. Including google pushing rootkits installed by default to the most popular OS on the planet (Android/Google Play)
My main man, you deserve the wall for even attempting that shit, now you’re gonna complain we’re making it hard?
Considering the circumstances I’d argue he’s one of the few cops to protect and serve. Really the secret service here who dropped the ball. Coulda let em have a second go.
Shout out to the neoliberal dipshits who thought we needed another right-of-center incrementalist to beat Trump.
That one really fucking worked out…
Neat, how about actually making some sweeping regulations tackling corporate EULA-washed malware?
Why do companies get to keep injecting spyware and even rootkits into their OS/software without ever explaining the consequences in a way a lay person can understand?
Used to be when companies did that they got punished. Anyone remember that Sony BMG case with rootkit enabled DRM, or BonziBuddy who’s EULA allowed developers to sell your information to advertisers?
Remember the fucking stink people threw over them? Remember the fucking lawsuits? This shit is just a normal Tuesday for MFAANG. Shit even fucking video games are pushing rootkits down your throat these days. They need to be spanked BAD.
“It votes for the geezer or it gets the fascist again.”
Edit: Iam eh gud spellor
Not a lawyer, just a dumbfuck, but also not so sure about this interpretation.
Its only illegal if you take it off then proceed to fuck the keyholder without consent.
Otherwise its like taking the condom off and walking out of the room, which I have to imagine is legal.
