There’s also precedent that “officers” may use biometric means to unlock a device, but innocent-until-proven-guilty people may not be compelled to disclose their pin.

He was in fact in the US when this happened. Also he alleges he wasn’t read his Miranda rights, and there’s a good case for presumption of guilt from the “officers.” Also denied him having a lawyer present before engaging.

Which would still be unreasonable search and seizure.

Looks like you’re not on the same network. You’ll either need to specify a relay or go VPN to the same network. Tailscale or something like it works great as it will think it’s on the same network and not require a relay server.

“A Bug’s Life” was a pretty good movie.

But billionaires can have undocumented offshore accounts and complete privacy in the Epstein files?

Might not solve everything, but a good link cleaner utility is helpful too. I personally use this one: Trackless Links

That’s another reason to give businesses as little information as possible. Just assume everyone you do business with will be hacked at some point.

There are plenty of other legitimate uses for VPNs that would cause real issues if they were banned. But that also wouldn’t stop smaller VPNs or peer-hosted options. As another commenter said, this isn’t about protecting children, it’s just authoritarian surveillance.

With perfect surveillance, any crime would be solvable. But zero privacy means there’s no true freedom.

Stalkflushed? Dunno.

On the thinking though, might there be any legal argument for unreasonable search and seizure? Yes there’s not expectation of privacy in public, but an officer might still be expected to have a warrant or at least probable cause before searching my car in a Walmart parking lot without my consent.

Sure I don’t expect privacy from Walmart’s security system, but I don’t have reason to think law enforcement is monitoring it at all times. 24/7 law enforcement surveillance seems like it should fall under “search” there, because unless you have reason to be watching me, you’re searching for something anyway.

And officers have literally been caught literally stalking people without warrant with these systems. How is that not unreasonable search?

So yes, there’s no expectation that the public should look the other way, but I should be able to expect to not have big brother looking over my shoulder at all times.

One thing that makes this all difficult is the size and fragmentation of America. American states are the size of European countries and separated by subculture and geography. Organizing a state to hold its state government accountable might be doable in some states, but holding the federal government accountable is fifty times harder at least. Then there’s coordinating messaging and organizing across states. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it’s no small feat. The will of the American people moves in slower, more inexorable tides.

Remind people that every time you go on Instagram it’s like having Zuck in your living room peering over your shoulder writing down every tiny thing you do. His motive is to profit off all that and he may or may not keep that notebook safe. It may not be criminal, but would you really want it to get out that you watched that video again?

Good thing we have a Congress full of people eager to pass laws protecting the children…oh wait…

Just need to add in oracle, Palantir, and flock.

Anecdotally, I’d say money and the world would be the two big things.

People don’t have enough money to raise kids. Americans can’t afford to give birth with hospital bills. Childcare is expensive, but the alternative is no income. People can’t accumulate generational wealth, so there’s nothing to pass on, therefore no need for anyone to pass it to.

Environmental anxiety is real. Why bring kids into a world that’s about to burn?

Maybe one last factor is rebellion. A small sample I feel like chooses not to have kids so as not to perpetuate the system. The billionaires can’t exploit my kids if I don’t have any.
