As some people poined out, I was talking about VK. A Russian social network that ended up in the claws of Russian government, which in turn ended up in massive political repressions of it's userbase for posting "wrong" things.
He then made Telegram and used Russian government's attempts to block it as a PR campaign. I guess that's what made it so appealing at first, but now French government stepped in and we are going all over again.
The guy has a history of making something that looks good and then selling it to governments. I'm surprised people took the bait for the second time.
That's some good data! I'm mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!
People who promote crypto are usually scammers (they also usually promote their own currency), but in general it's a very useful tool. Considering you have to give up an arm and a leg to use SWIFT nowadays, crypto offers a fast and cheap way to pay someone across the border. The price is that you need to know a thing or two about the technology, else you'll pay the same or even more than with traditional methods.
I meant a pretty well-known case, not hashing in general. Thought that was obvious.
It's not really about something specific. There are just a lot of examples of Apple doing weird shit with your data and only stopping when they got caught. Most people conserned with privacy just don't trust Apple in general.
I mean, they where hashing any lauched programs and sending the hashes unencryped to their servers to compare against their database. So, they literally knew every program you launched, when you did it, but also your ISP knew it and anyone smart enough to MITM your connection. Sounds like a privacy violation to me.
Some people have to use their stuff for a variety of reasons, don't be a dick about it.
They are probably just using your IP address to determine the location. That will show the location of your ISP, not your location. That's not much more info than any other server gets when you are connecting to it. Also does not require Mozilla to send any geolocation data.
There is no such thing as "zeroith". Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word "first" has nothing to do with indices, it's just an antonym for "last".
