They updated their description of how their search engine works. The new description is still factual, while being slightly easier to understand. The new description also has some fancy marketing flair. They still make it pretty clear that they use other search engines via anonymous calls.

I wouldn't call that shady at all... Unless maybe I'm completely missing the point here.

I think this is a fairly benign move with a valid explanation that has been taken out of context in order to be more inflamitory

Wow. The L2 is 16 times larger than what I have now. I can't imagine the breakneck performance.

I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

The closest thing I can think of the archive @ Wayback machine. It's more of a manual way of seeing snapshots rather than diffs.

The article is light on details about the exact allegation. I'd be very interested to hear exactly Facebook planned to store and use the data, what kind of data it was anyways, and how it could have improved their bottom line. If we can find how they are using this to make more money then maybe it's possible to cut off the opportunity at the source.

Hmm gotcha. Yeah this stuff goes over my head haha but it sounds similar to a Bitcoin mixer/tumbler. I wonder if the anonymity scales with the number of users using the network. I also wonder if you happened to send a transaction at a "bad" time (no-one else is using the network) then it's easier to trace.

Do you know how Monero's advantage could potentially be lost?
