#Insecurity
Ouch! From the ex-Google PM who earlier built his own Palantir. All it takes is a software update to your router software, and..
"Your #WiFi Can See You. Here's How."
“today’s #electoral shifts reflect ordinary forms of #insecurity affecting a broad segment of the population. The sources of insecurity include #heavierworkloads, constant pressure at #work, and the inability to cover unexpected #expenses or build #savings.” www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...

@vfrmedia @gettie Point is that #Telco regulations stems from #Telegraphy and #Postal operations, and whilst there are legitimate reasons for #regulators to disconnect phone lines (otherwise #robocalling and #SMS-#Spam would be even more rampant than #eMail-#Spamming!)
- Which OFC also intertwines with "#LawfulInterception" and the means of Governments to exercise control.
- So anything claiming #security must inherently acknowledge the unfixable #insecurity of the #PSTN and completely cease using it and it's per-design compromised Infrastructure as a matter of principle.
That's why any "#secure communications" treats it as a hostile network and not to be trusted!
- And that's not even scratching the surface that countries try to outlaw #anonymity - starting with #Prepaid - #SIM - Cards.
- Because those traditionally had no reason for "#KYC" as there was no means for a customer to incur #debt or commit #fraud against the telco that provided said services, so there was [and IMHO still is] no "legitimate interest" in demanding any #ID for those, as any crime committed would be investigated with the existing #Govware inside the networks and thus found out.
A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]
Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]

A quotation from Norman F. Dixon
The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.
Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

@simonroses #Microsoft itself are the #insecurity!
..."#AlJazeera captured the underlying posture in a 2014 email referenced in the files. The reporting does not frame this as a theoretical debate. It presents an #operational sequence: #insecurity creates #political demand; demand legitimizes #foreign “#solutions”; “solutions” generate access, which is then #leveraged into broader deals.
#DropSite reported that in May 2015, Barak and his business partner, Gary Fegel, made a $15 million investment in FST #Biometrics, a #facialrecognition / #accesscontrol firm founded by Aharon Ze’evi Farkash, a former head of [#IOF] #military #intelligence.
The #technology’s lineage matters to how it was marketed. Drop Site reported that Farkash developed the concept of “#remote #identification” during the Second #Palestinian #Intifada at [IOF] checkpoints on the #Gaza border; in 2003, [IOF] deployed the “Basel” system at the #ErezCrossing, using facial scans to identify and process #Palestinians going to work....
In #Nigeria, the same reporting describes how Boko Haram’s attacks—often framed through a sectarian lens—created a ready-made narrative for pitching #biometriccontrol at a #Christian institution. Drop Site reported that a pilot was implemented at #BabcockUniversity, and by July 2015, an “in-motion #identification” system was live, with staff #training and #promotionallanguage emphasizing the #filtering of “unwanted persons.”
Al Jazeera’s account similarly notes that a #pressrelease at the time boasted the technology would “filter away all unwanted persons,” presenting #surveillance as safety while normalizing #populationcontrol logics in a #crisis setting..."

Americans in their 40s and 50s are more depressed and forgetful, and weaker, than those of previous generations, and most of their peers in Europe. Education is no longer protective. Stress and financial insecurity are thought to be responsible.

Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silent by your brawl,
And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 55ff (c. 1592)

#Systemic #insecurity. Hear that. #Message that has to be carried even to you all because, even though you have a heart, somehow you're still counting the dollars and cents too much. #Insecurity is actually a #violation of #human #rights. As agreed #Internationally in 1948. No moralizing, pointing.
Cars are Metall shells for humans.
They are there to protect the self perception.
To keep going in a world where you never decide where you really stand
that's why people post clips when they are sitting in their cars. they feel safe to say something.
how miserable.
