General reminder: Do not discuss your ✨ crimes ✨ on Fediverse. Every six seconds, some tech bro announces an extremely effective scraper and indexer for Fediverse and gets trounced for it.
Those are the ones we hear about.
No matter the privacy level you set for a post here, you should assume it's public in some capacity.
and that someone else may use it for something you didn't intend or consent to
@superflippy @EveHasWords the only words that disappear from the internet are the ones you wish were preserved
Anything you want erased stays forever
For those of us with privilege (which may or may not include you) now very much the time to ratchet up our support and be ever more vocal and visible allies.
For those directly threatened, being quieter and not providing extra excuses for attack is perhaps wise, and certainly understandable.
And admitting illegal acts online is never wise unless you are explicitly inviting a response in civil disobedience.
Incase folks wonder about who has in the past here's the list of the ones we know about thanks to @s0
@EveHasWords even better, DO NOT PUT ONLINE ANYTHING YOU DO WANT NOT EXPOSED.
Unless it's encrypted and the keys tightly controlled, data you think is confidential is only protected as well as the actions and practices of entities with the *ability* to access it allow. Private data is exposed in breaches *daily*, and that doesn't even factor in people with legitimate access who might look and disclose for any reason
Edit: "do not want exposed" strengthened to "do want not exposed"
@anaelleoberlin @joachim je ne tiens pas à alimenter ton angoisse, mais n'importe qui a accès à fedi. Fonctionnalités de recherche ou non. Que ce soit des individus, des techbros, des méga corporations ou des gouvernements. Faire un scraper (AI ou autre) n'est pas 1-clic facile, mais c'est pas exactement difficile pour quelqu'un avec un minimum de connaissances en programmation logiciel.
Comme l'ont dits plusieurs sur ce fil de discussion, tout ce qui est en ligne y est pour toujours et accessible à tous. Est-ce d'intérêt pour quelqu'un? Probablement pas. C'est pour ça qu'il est important de déterminer son profil de menace quand pense à se prémunir de défenses informatiques. Est-ce que le gouvernement va t'arreter pour avoir mis des photos de ton chat? Très peu probable. On revient donc au message original...
@EveHasWords Basic internet principle I figured when I was 12 and on dialup.
But good that you're reiterating it. It must be reiterated. Again and again and again.
Always speak like you're being recorded.
You should always act like you're being recorded on the internet because you literally are always being recorded.
@humongouspudding @monsoonrains @EveHasWords
Apple admitted "accidentally" turning on Siri and recording stuff, so most likely.
In TrumpWorld, if you made a confession, they don't NEED to prove what you said.
If you wanna go to court to disprove what you 'confessed' to, it's your choice. And it's expensive. And you might not have enough money for bail—so you'd sit in jail while awaiting trial.
So if I were you, I wouldn't.
No one likes to hear it, but the same is true for ALL Internet devices. No exceptions REGARDLESS what the tech bros assert. If you put it on a networked computer, it can be stolen, by a thousand ways. Data sold, company sold, new CEO, pretty well-dressed buxom maiden shows cleavage at the front desk and asks (this happened)
Internet has no provinance. None. Nada. Zip. This should be taught in kindergarten!

@EveHasWords How far can we go?
What about encouraging crime?
Or calling for the death of people like Trump or Musk?
Or making the case for violence?
I think it would be good to get close the line where we would face consequences but not quite getting there.
@sashin @EveHasWords Encouraging crime is a crime, either being an accessory, or starting a conspiracy.
Plausible deniability still exists if saying #impeachTrump or #embargoTesla, or by still keeping news of Luigi active.
@EveHasWords Everything that isn't #encrypted securely with a *real #E2EE = #SelfCustody-only like #PGP/MIME & #XMPP+#OMEMO needs to be regarded as #public - period!
@EveHasWords
Remember "jammers" from the TV show The Prisoner? These folks gently leaked the (false) rebellious deeds they were planning so that the Authorities would have to investigate them. To jam-up the investigation process. If everyone hints at plausible crimes, investigators get overwhelmed.
After a while the Authorities identified and just ignored all the jammers. Hence creating the environment where some of them could collude successfully on actual rebellion.
@EveHasWords The general rule for criming is to keep it secret.
And remember that three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
@EveHasWords +9001%
Practice good #OpSec = #STFUgriday every day...
I CONFESS.
In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog…. When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I went nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out….
...But the worst thing I ever done — I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa — and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
@courtcan @EveHasWords
Lol. I was on acid at a Yes concert once and a woman in the row in front of me about 3 seats to the right blew chunks all of the guy sitting in front of her.
Those are the only two facts I remember about the concert. 😂😂😂
@EveHasWords
Why do you say this when we live in a world where you can rape women, steal, cheat on your taxes and still become president of the USA or become a member of the Trump administration.
I understand your fear but asking EVERYBODY to stay silent is not the answer.
Just a thought.
