I wonder if they'll love spamming the Epstein and ICE links now that the USA monitors and censors those.

Yes. They will. Because it's not about who the aggressor is. If you aren't able to figure that out, then you really should look at getting a better real world education and not just sitting in your mom's basement, or propaganda mill, it's hard to tell the difference nowadays. The neck eards keep regurgitating the same talking points the astroturfing farm drones do.

A friendly reminder that the act of doxxing is not illegal. Neither is collating information. Nothing ICE List does is illegal.

It's just a fundamental threat to the current administration and the billionaire class.

Judges will often comment specifically in cases like this when decisions are made based on the very specific details of a case versus general case law that might form a general precedent in the future.

Exposing? Microsoft has made it very clear for a while that your Bitlocker keys are synced to your Microsoft account.

Hell, they even have a support page for it. Most of their support pages are nearly useless, but this one is even readable by a normal person.

And before someone mentions the part about Microsoft Support not having access to keys (because some smart ass always does for this stuff)... Just think for a second. Of course customer support doesn't have access to the keys. What Support can do is not a limit for legal disclosure. A legal warrant (like used here) means they'll give any info they have in a heartbeat.

I hope the insurance company sues DHS/ICE for assisting with his escape.

There's not even anything essential about auto manufacturing in general. Even if it was an American Kei car line making inexpensive vehicles more generally useful daily than nearly anything currently available in the US.

Nah, it's pretty simple actually. If the archive doesn't exist at all, they can't even steal from it.

This is one of those situations where the venn diagram of Trump's handlers becomes a circle.

You have the billionaire Oil executives that want to continue using all their existing infrastructure and wasy access to continue printing money like they do now. Meanwhile, those companies all see the writing on the wall and know it's running out so they're investing in or buying technologies and companies working on alternatives. They're playing both sides because they're not idiots.

And then you have the manipulators like Putin (who we know Trump idolizes) with their goals of destroying American power across the board. Having America not only abandon new technologies but even propping up the old ones past when they should be phased out to focus on century-old priorities while the rest of the world continues to move on, helps that overall goal.

Can't really blame them for trying to get some of their money back.

Unadulterated technical incompetence from a tech company is par for the course these days though.

Reddit was already the replacement everyone went to after they redesigned Digg in 2010 to focus on publishers and traffic fell 50% almost immediately. Digg had 40 million monthly visitors and a $160 Million valuation at the time.
