“Wire was always for profit and planned to follow the typical venture backed route." [@Wire CEO] Brogger... describes individual consumers as “not part of our strategy."

"By putting an end to the government’s ability to conduct suspicionless fishing expeditions, the court reaffirms that the border is not a lawless place and that we don’t lose our privacy rights when we travel.”
Thank you, @ACLU and @EFF!
And before anyone asks, I will make exactly zero dollars from the Chinese edition of the book (because of the US government lawsuit), but that's alright: I didn't write this book for money.
This has been a long day. It's past 7AM here and I haven't slept yet, so I'm going to crash, but I look forward to the responses. Let's do something good for the world. 谢谢你，加油!

This was inevitable. Such activities will continue—and escalate—until states move to ban the commercial trade in digital weapons. This criminal model of business effects everyone, everywhere. It produces only harm. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cyber-whatsapp-nsogroup/exclusive-whatsapp-hacked-to-spy-on-top-government-officials-at-u-s-allies-sources-idUSKBN1XA27H
"Trudeau needs to act now to protect and reunite these families in Montreal and to bring an end to the continuing harm and trauma. It is the Canadian thing to do." https://ricochet.media/en/2806/trudeaus-decision-to-keep-refugee-families-separated-is-unconscionable
“Those fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” said Baden, who added that there were hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes that are also more common in strangulation than in hangings.
“They rushed the body out of the jail, which they shouldn’t do because that destroys the evidence,’’ said Dr. Michael Baden, one of the world’s leading forensic pathologists. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article236809668.html
