   the NSA's dragnet domestic internet tap never functioned as anything but post mortem ad hoc forensics, the SNR was so shit that it gave zero actionable intelligence for real time threat detection. it is not for surveillance at all, it's used to train LLM that power their sockpuppet botnets that influence public opinion.

     @niggy @jeff @ThatWouldBeTelling they can still easily compromise a CA or two and perform really cool attacks.

     @niggy Afraid @jeff is completely missing how useful traffic analysis is. Reveals networks of people although I’m not sure in this context of pure HTTPS connection, that would then require looking at sites and commenting for example. But certainly reveals how much people browse crimethink.

     @ThatWouldBeTelling @jeff Yeah it's still useful. Though at the time of those Snowden leaks everyone thinks of when talking NSA almost no web traffic was encrypted except banks etc, people really forget how bad it was.
     The NSA really could just monitor or tamper basically any web traffic by anyone with no limits, and exploited that greatly.
     Now they just get that "metadata" as the government calls it.

     @jeff internet passive collection like that's not as useful now with everything HTTPS now, a decade ago very little was
     have to focus now on more active collection, hacking into stuff to get data unencrypted. might be better or worse depending on perspective, more targeted and less dragnet, but more invasive against the targets

     @jeff @niggy @ThatWouldBeTelling I don't disagree, there cannot be open and secure software unless it runs on open hardware.

     @romin @ThatWouldBeTelling @niggy by tilting the perspective on the conversation so much can be hidden as it has been flattened down to one dimension, vendor trustworthiness and the device security implications from such.
     these cryptography jizzfountains are the modern world's most amazing security theater because you run them on a fucking iphone.

     @romin @niggy @ThatWouldBeTelling since open hardware is mainly used by CCP at this current time it's a threat to democracy or something.
     until we start a Manhattan project for bootstrapping a transparent auditable and verifiable reproducible computer hardware supplychain it will remain that way.
     the multi billion dollar industry of exploit mongering has a lot of sway here as it's not broken, it's a feature.

     @romin @ThatWouldBeTelling @niggy the covert nature of the underlying ideoms which computer security is founded on in the USA and the inflexibility of the apparatus to pivot to an overt model is the one reason the USA is irrelevant now and will only become even less in the future. can't trust or verify and the usa is run by sadistic child rapist satanists.
