My point is life changes, the world changes, society changes and every time that a big change happens there are people who adapt and people who see it as a catastrophe and try to fight it back. But you can’t fight change you can only adapt.
AI isn’t the end of the world, it’s just a tool.
I don’t feel like there’s much difference between this and what happened when google became popular

Obama most definitely committed war crimes. And the point of my argument goes besides who’s in power now. We were talking about workers voting for politicians that would endanger their own self interests. Neither the republican and democratic parties do the interests of the working class. It might bean simplified way to put it but it is a fact nonetheless.
Both parties only have at hearth the interests of the same capitalist classes. Both parties are there to protect the profits of Bigpharma, big tech, Unilever etc. That is what they do. Every other policy is only there to get you to vote them, and to keep people divided. Sure, vote for the liberal candidate if you feel that represents you because of the lgbtq rights, but be sure that another person will be voting the conservative candidate because they also feel represented by one of these “contour” policies these politicians adopt to manipulate us, and in the long run nothing changes. While republicans and democrsts pass each other the ball like 2 buddies playing catch, living conditions get worse for everyone (except the capitalists).
This is a simple fact, explained simply.
Again. Reading a message is just a minuscule, and not even the most important part, of the process of surveillance. The infrastructure necessary to implement something like this is a lot larger than just the software and hardware necessary to automate data collection.
And no, that infrastructure MOST DEFINITELY DOES NOT have the capacity to monitor everyone or even everyone who attended a protest. This is just a fact. The courts themselves would not have enough capacity.
Why do they not arrest every single participant then? You think everyone that doesn’t get arrested is because they use signal and all of those that got arrested used WhatsApp? That’s just disingenuous.
The technology exists, infrastructure not yet.
Obama is a war criminal, period. I don’t give a fuck he didn’t attack lgbtq. You voted for a war criminal, period.
What are you gesturing at specifically? Obama put kids in cages too. Obama bombed the middle east too. They are literally the same party, one is served with mayo the other with ketchup, but both are the same dish. The both serve the same ruling class.
“Capacity” doesn’t merely regard hardware. Right now in the US, the number of active LE officers is outnumbered 400 to 1. Meaning each police officer/FBI agent would have to keep an eye on 400 people at a time to get to the kind of surveillance state that many think is already here (it’s not). The situation is similar if not worse in the rest of the western world. The UK is seeing record low numbers of LE officers, so low that the government changed the law few years ago to allow people with face tatoos in the force lol.
They do monitor individual “Profiles” when they have justifiable reasons for it. Monitoring aprofile can include everything, phone monitoring, social media monitoring, physical monitoring. But again, you must have been cause of serious worry for them to start such investigations on you.
In most cases simply attending a protest, which is protected by the constitution, would not amount to that kind of surveillance, even for the simple fact of lack of officers to monitor every attendant to the protest.
Again I’m not saying this stuff doesn’t happen. It does happen, sometimes officers can pick on you and make stuff up to justify it, the use of AI models for this type of operations is gonna makes things worse for sure, and the way trump is using ICE as his personal paramilitary group also doesnt help, but we are still very very far for that Orwell’s 1984 type of surveillance, merely from a technology and capacity standpoint.
Right now the people that are monitoring every single of your actions are big tech, not police or governments. And what I’m arguing is simply that safety should not come at the cost of action. Because that’s also how they get you, either by arresting you or by making you so afraid that you won’t rise up against them. They win in both cases.
I speak for me personally now when I say that even though I’m a privacy advocate, my priority is to try make change even at the cost of putting myself in risky situations, that’s actually why I am a privacy advocate. It’s not a tool I use to hide from the system, it’s a tool I use to keep myself safe as I go against the system.
So you think that if Sanders becomes the leader of the democratic party (he won’t), all of the lobbies and all of the billionaires interests that are behind both Democratic and Republican parties, are gonna suddenly disappear? Unfortunately that’s not how it works.
Voting for the democratic party would alsocbe against your self-interest as member of the working class, just as much as republican. You need to realise the US is a one party system, Democratic and Republican are two branches of the same party.
Which party can you vote that will redistribute wealth?
That’s true, I’m not saying that never happens. I’m just saying one should evaluate the likelihood of something happening, not just the risk itself, or you might end up depriving yourself of useful experiences and interactions, de facto letting the feds win without even actually doing anything.
Again even in that case I would ask myself, why would they pick me out of the other million people that were at the same march?
Unfortunately the line between safety and self-destroying paranoia, isn’t that thick.
It’s good to be conscious about these things, but it’s also important to have a correct analysis of the threat level.
Do you have a good reason to believe authorities might be monitoring your phone specifically out of the hundreds of millions of people the could pick from? They don’t have the capacity to monitor every single phone or conversation. They will have their own threat analysis and only put you under that type of surveillance if you are or if you have the potential to become an active threat to them.
If you just go about your life minding your business then you can be certain the feds aren’t reading your sms.
It’s true that better safe than sorry, but at the same time you can’t let safety paralyse you and stop you from acting.
As a person drawing in debt, I wish for the total collapse of the current economic system and its institutions, including banks and credit unions.
As someone who was raised as poor and is now a poor adult, nothing would be better than temhe total collapse of the economy similar to 2008 but just on a even larger scale.
Lol. Would being able to see the backend make you more comfortable?

I see… keep spreading debunked propaganda, while thinking yourself as a freedom of speech fighter.
Hi thanks for the feedback. As of now, on top of being encrypted, vthe sender is also given a passphrase that needs to be shared to the recipient via a different channel. I’m not sure how that would affects bots, but at least it should stops spammers

That is correct, also not all types of schizophrenia have hallucinations as symptom at all. A diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia does not require hallucinations among the symptoms.
