No matter how well-intentioned, @Apple is rolling out mass surveillance to the entire world with this. Make no mistake: if they can scan for kiddie porn today, they can scan for anything tomorrow.
They turned a trillion dollars of devices into iNarcs—*without asking.* twitter.com/Snowden/status…

🚨🚨 Apple says to "protect children," they're updating every iPhone to continuously compare your photos and cloud storage against a secret blacklist. If it finds a hit, they call the cops.
iOS will also tell your parents if you view a nude in iMessage.

Once you wake up to the idea that the world has been patterned, intentionally or unintentionally, in ways you don’t agree with, you can begin to change it. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/conspiracy-p…

Apple plans to modify iPhones to constantly scan for contraband:
“It is an absolutely appalling idea, because it is going to lead to distributed bulk surveillance of our phones and laptops,” said Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering. ft.com/content/14440f…

The easier it becomes to produce information, the harder that information becomes to consume — and the harder we have to work to separate the spurious from the significant. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/conspiracy-p…

I want you to try and imagine a public intellectual arguing the proper response to the revelation of his years-long harrassment of critics is to claim:
1) His victims were the real bullies
2) He is the real victim
3) The true problem is my speaking out
And then attacking *me.* twitter.com/Snowden/status…

This you?
Because it sure looks like you were trying to destroy a promising young woman's reputation in front of extremely powerful members of her industry—with precious little to support your claims.
I guess my eyes deceive me. twitter.com/nntaleb/status…

With respect, I would be more sympathetic to this defense had you not been using substantially the same language in 2016 (and perhaps earlier) about subjects entirely unrelated to Bitcoin—which at the time was largely ignored at $700.
Exhibit A: twitter.com/nntaleb/status…
912
I was looking to understand why @nntaleb was cyber-bullying a young woman who writes on economics, and I stumbled upon a frankly unbelievable history of inability to handle even gentle criticism—by a man who titled his book "Antifragile."
This behavior goes back years.

“If a woman tries to express their opinion about unjust laws or says something that doesn’t please the government, they will leak your private pictures to intimidate you.”

Imagine the government hacking your phone, stealing some old photo of you in a swimming pool, and then leaking it alongside a lie that it was taken by some horrible boss they want people to think you're screwing.

Just as we cannot trust governments to decide what can and cannot be said, we must not empower them to determine the things we can or cannot install.

Enormous: official confirmation of the allegations regarding Israeli hacking-for-hire company NSO Group's involvement in targeted attacks on EU journalists.
If they will do it in France, they will do it anywhere. Shut them down—ban the exploit trade.

@Gueren1 The system was not designed to help you, but to control you. No matter how isolated you feel, never forget that you are not alone: the exploitation of rising generations is a global issue.

系统的目的不是帮助你，而是控制你。 无论您感到多么孤立，请永远不要忘记您并不孤单：对新兴世代的剥削是一场全球斗争。

The semantic contortions the government engages in for the pageantry of a "National Whistleblower Day"—while refusing to acknowledge any of the actual whistleblowers it put in prison (such as the source of the revelation below)—are more than offensive. They are shameful. twitter.com/DevlinBarrett/…

Three days ago you sentenced Daniel Hale, one of the most important whistleblowers in the history of American Intelligence, to nearly four years in prison. commondreams.org/news/2021/07/2… twitter.com/ODNIgov/status…
924
For all those still working behind the keyboards at the institutions of great power, take a moment to appreciate that National Whistleblower Day and Sysadmin Day this year happen on the same day. Maybe it's a sign.
Stay free, my friends.

Great to hear, but there's no record of you speaking like this last week when your close partners in Israel—who, unlike China, you can definitely influence—were exposed by the #PegasusProject for their involvement in the actual *deaths and detentions* of journalists.
Why not? twitter.com/SecBlinken/sta…
