RandoCalrandian , to Privacy in Cryptographers Just Got Closer to Enabling Fully Private Internet Searches
@RandoCalrandian@kbin.social avatar

Let’s take a moment and acknowledge that it was never hard to make searches private.

It’s just that doing that requires trusting a company not to fuck with you behind the scenes and sell you out, and ensuring that doesn’t happen is fucking hard

All moderators in a nutshell?

Unless there’s a strong correlation between those who set fingerprint protection to strict and those that disable telemetry

In that case they’re about to piss off a much larger portion of their users than they realize

😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!

Question is, who’s paying you to get so butthurt over it?

🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

So who exactly do you trust?

Wow. The internet must be really rough for you if people don’t wear labels so you know who to hate before learning a damn thing about them!

For those oh so super valuable virtue signal points, as if most of the services and products they use weren’t created with slave labor and run by people who’ve done far worse

You’re dealing with someone who wants to punish wrongthink. It’s a waste of time to respond rationally.

Hate crime laws and hate speech laws are not the same thing. It’s completely disingenuous to act like they are or use the existence of one to justify the creation of another

You’re right, I haven’t given you enough time to move away down there at the bottom

Also, to reiterate another posters point: hate crime laws and hate speech laws are very different things.

The first one increases penalties for things already considered crimes, the second one criminalizes previously legal actions.

You’d have to be pretty brain dead to use those two concepts interchangeably, or to justify each other (which they often are)
