Maybe not a honeypot, but definitely too large for my taste by now: Proton. With Mail, VPN, password manager, file storage, AI and whatnot, it’s one ginormous basket to put all of your eggs into, hopping it’ll hold.

The security of your phone is a concern to surveillance fanatics.

Joke’s on them. I’m not paying them a dime.

I, too, have pondered what could be done in case the nightmare of age identity verification rears its ugly head where I live. And I’ve come to similar results as you.

I’d add that,if your means of communication do only require an internet connection and not a phone number, you might get away with not having a SIM in your personal phone at all. You might access the net through WiFi connections (even mobile hotspot), hiding your actual destination through a VPN (if those are still a thing). Not having a SIM removes yet another identifier linking PII to your personal privacy phone.

In America absolutely nothing has happened

I don’t get the downvotes on this one. All it says is ‘do not believe anything Zuck says, because he and his company have proved time and time again that they’re lying through their teeth even when they’re just mouth-breathing’. And that’s accurate.

Not as long as the Epstein class is in power, no.

You need to try an American accent.

Not really the same issue. The xkcd is about unsolved or incompletely resolved issues. This Herr is about questions vanishing along with the answers.

That’s what the rich dickhead bunkers in remote locations are for, my friend.

Envy is… well, just that.

50 years from now, people will look upon unregulated algorithmic “social” media the same way as we today look upon unregulated smoking in the 50s. “How could they? Didn’t they know it was addictive as hell and terrible for your health and that of your kids?”

That is, if there are still any people left 50 years from now…

Better call those Kenyan click workers and tell them you’ve got a lot more disturbing shit for them to sift through.

An Nvidia B200 (192 Gigs of RAM) sells somewhere between 30-50k a pop. That’s feasible for a company.
