I think Motorola could be a trojan horse to attack GrapheneOS users. GrapheneOS became more popular after the initial nexus and pixel hardware was designed, leaving no time for the phone companies to collaborate with the government beforehand. Motorola offers ALPR solutions and surveillance infrastructure for the government, and a new motorola phone appearing as a new option could be a way of getting grapheneOS users to run the system on top of backdoored hardware, without even the developers knowing about it. Heck, I don't even fully trust the secure element in modern pixel phones. It's very suspicious that after Operation Trojan Shield the big ones just apparently stopped trying. I think this could be it. View quoted note →

XBT to 900 is crazy

This is why governments want to control access to social media for children. Tiktok, discord... Etc. Serve as real time communication systems and allow the youth to organize in mass. An organized protest formed by young people is the worst for the state: they have more than enough time and energy, and too little to loose (legally) making them wreckless against the police. Any strong police action in response will be easily seen as abuse, as it's literally that: Armed officers charging against kids. This is why movements like punk were created: a way to let the kids rebellious intent out, but with meaningless actions like music, style and closed online groups. The state cannot afford kids to organize and push against them they must divide them and contain them while making rebels follow "rebellious" social trends. View quoted note →
