Therefore, immediate end of this thread? Are all subscribers to this list now
to be inconvenienced at airports? (Sorry, my bad.)
Do we all need a CCNP Security-multipass to log into IRC now? Which channels
are now a good idea to avoid? #linux? #bitcoin? #nanog? #obamasucks?
#blacklivesmatter? (in Canada #idlenomore is similar and equally targetted by
Palantir/Tempests as the latter was).
What constitutes racketeering in 'communication'? Membership on a mailing list
or just reading a webpage?
[ This week I was investigating a colleague's website, so I ran dig(1) in a
bash terminal in putty - she saw a text terminal, and exclaimed "Wait, stop, are
you hacking my website?!" I blame Sandra Bullock and to a lesser extent Carrie
Ann Moss (and the nmap crew, esp. for using actually-plausible toolsets/techniques). ]
This is an age old game, but the ante has just been upped. Our industry should
respond to this.
