And even if it is your key, if you can’t see how they made the lock then you can’t prove other keys won’t unlock it.

Or not caring

Or actively profiting from the status quo

If you’d found anything you could credibly jump on, I’m 1000% sure that’s what you’d be bullshitting about now instead of some completely random and baseless accusation

Yours is probably a trip

Not to mention Epstein was able to operate freely for decades while flying out high priority definitely-surveilled-at-all-times targets out to rape kids

Make no mistake, intelligence agencies are every bit as complicit as Epstein himself, and they don’t give a flying fuck about “protecting” kids

And oh darn, didn’t you know the only solution is permanent extension of and expansions to all the patriot act bullshit that has been violating our civil liberties constantly for 20+ years?

Shucks. Welp, if it’s “for the children” or whatever excuse they use this time, I guess we have no choice!

Using weak examples and how they are better served in a different way doesn’t mean much

With push data like this you can identify something like every other member of an encrypted group chat by correlating the push notification metadata

That’s just one valuable use of this data.
