If you read the blog post you would know there are 0 mentions of VPNs there. VPNs have very limited purpose, and it’s just a small tool in the arsenal of privacy.

RCS doesn’t support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.

This is similar to how casual users on Windows should be limited to a non-admin account, to limit vectors for malware.

How about the false positives? You want your name permanently associated with child porn because someone fucked up and ruined your life? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/googles-scans-private-photos-led-false-accusations-child-abuse

The whole system is so flawed that it has like 20-25% success rate.

Or how about this system being adopted for anything else? Guns? Abortion? LGBT related issues? Once something gets implemented, it’s there forever and expansion is inevitable. And each subsequent government will use it for their personal agenda.

What I meant was that if they were signatories to the Rome Statute at the time, actions they committed would quality for war crime charges.

As far as if it’s worth it? I would say yes. It would legitimize US in the global community. Right now everyone knows US is the biggest hypocrite on the world stage.

No. Like any court, they only deal with people physically in front of them.

Consider what we used as currency before it was currency. You would have to barter before, which was inefficient. Common currency saves you and everyone involved time. Instead of having to barter for every item, which would also require you to do carry all of those items, you can just pay with currency now.

Are you from Belarus or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because I do, and I can tell you with certainty that people who live there have a different view from yours. So you can insist it’s a NATO propaganda, but I’m sorry I will believe people I actually know and trust over you.

russia is currently a vital part in the worldwide anti imperialist axis of resistance

That is rich since imperialist Russia is the one who is occupying parts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine.

You claim to be in support of Russia, yet you misrepresent them and their goals. Putin himself said he’s an imperialist and his primary goal before his death is to restore former USSR territories.

This opinion is on par for the Eurasia program as a whole, which the author is part of. I would be curious to see if they have the same opinion of US supporting Israel for 75 years as “unnecessary, dangerous, and costly”.

No, it means they will double down on it, since the fine is so small that it is irrelevant.

At least it’s not a class action lawsuit, where lawyers would take 50-70% of the settlement first.
