After years of monitoring these “companies” networks I saw 100% malicious traffic (Stark Industries and the like). They literally had no legit customers.

Running out of UK limited companies too, there appears to be very little checks and balances in the UK to see if a company even has people in the UK.

Ukraine’s 783rd Operational Preparation Brigade showed work on a new fortification line on one frontline axis. The unit said every meter of obstacles adds protection for Ukrainian troops, strengthens defensive positions and creates a serious barrier for Russian forces. The brigade said construction continues under all conditions as defensive lines are reinforced. #Ukraine

NEW: Oh, Flock. A one-sentence bipartisan amendment, first obtained by @[email protected] and expected to be introduced during a House committee hearing on Thursday, would limit federal highway spending for ALPRs to only toll collection. @[email protected] with the scoop: www.wired.com/story/a-bipa...

A Bipartisan Amendment Would End Police License Plate Tracking Nationwide

One line tucked into a federal highway bill would strip funds from cities and states unless they kill their automated plate tracking programs—effectively banning the tech for all but toll collection.

I think the message should be clear though:
This doesn't just apply to ai but when you depend on SaaS for any aspect of your business
Or for the layman, let's use the example of your Netflix sub going up seemingly every few months
At some point it reaches a threshold where you have to unsubscribe because it's now out of budget
When you replace people with SaaS you're always hoping they don't eventually fuck you in the SaaS

And I'm writing about it here to maybe inspire a few of you to write another email to your politicians about any of the many things that need fighting right now. It's one of those things that is important in aggregate, so keep doing it, even though it sucks.
