EFF to Supreme Court: Shut Down Unconstitutional Geofence Searches

The brief argues that geofence warrants—which compel companies to provide information on every electronic device in a given area during a given time period—are the digital version of the exploratory rummaging that the drafters of the Fourth Amendment specifically intended to prevent.

Nice Piece by Vice about the DEA skipping the warrant process by stuffing millions in cash to employees in strategic positions to tip them off. Suspects or general dragnets, and it’s still so far a loophole that get a pass. From trains, planes, package delivery and more. #privacy #dragnets https://pca.st/episode/e6247652-9024-4787-a086-ab2515008fe7
The DEA Is Skipping Warrants and Buying Data from Rogue Employees - CYBER

In America, no one can protect you from a transportation employee being paid off by the feds. The Drug Enforcement Agency has a single remit: to prosecute America’s long-failed war on drugs. Joseph Cox is on today’s episode of Cyber to talk about one its shadier practices and the senators who want answers from the Department of Justice. It turns out that the DEA has been paying Amtrak and commercial package companies to act as informants and supply data on customers without having to get a warrant.Stories discussed in this episode:The DEA Bought Customer Data from Rogue Employees Instead of Getting a WarrantThe 'Insanely Broad' RESTRICT Act Could Ban Much More Than Just TikTokHere is the FBI’s Contract to Buy Mass Internet DataCops Sue Afroman for 'Emotional Distress' After He Made Music Videos of Botched RaidWe’re recording CYBER live on Twitch and YouTube.

There are indeed #dragnets, yes. And they are #cheatingHumanity.

The big CDN are akin to cancer.

One could legitimately label such #CDNs as #CancerDeliveryNetworks.

We say enforce a cypherpunk law that blocks any entity that owns more than 1million IPv4 (20bits) or more 32million IPv6 (25bits).

Noone needs more than that. If a business/ISP can't be viable with 33 million computers for ppl to talk to they need to disappear.

Its deeply troubling that systems like Tor and i2p have existed for over a decade yet no one has had the guts to promote them strongly. We've had #netNeutrality destroyed, #dragNets built, #techGiants crush #independentMedia, and respected #certificateAuthorities exposed for issuing faulty #encryptionKeys...

What more do we honestly need!?

But when we try to suggest the alternative, many act like its too extreme. The #sleepwalking is real.
