Was thinking about this the entire time, not sure why they’re saying it has to be govt sponsored threat actors for a bunch of SIM cards

Didn’t understand how it’d be used for espionage either, doesn’t even make sense

You could run wireguard thru CLI directly instead of jumping through the mullvad app itself

Doesn’t look good on mobile, difficult to use

can you share your os/browser?

Cross checked known malicious mail list with applicants, found a match and made a blog about it lol

Are the typos on purpose for opsec reasons?

No, im just a terrible writer.

This has probably been happening since the beginning of modern media.

The only reason this is an article is because of “AI” and Russia VS The US

This isn’t fair to say.

Any platform that’s popular will have its share of undesirable users, out of the company’s control.

Discord has very good moderation in contrast to other platforms (Constant banwaves on illegal/shady servers, terminating accounts frequently, etc)

Haven't heard of any other platforms that use cartoons in the UI, actively associate with kids hobbies, and also make it one click to join active pedo grooming communities.

"very good moderation" makes me believe you work for them because that is a laughable notion.

I would bet that Big Balls swatting/SIM swapping/ddos community "the comm" still has dozens of discords that have been up for years

Any social app with one click to join communities (all of them) will fall under this.

And how out of touch with teenagers are you that you think cartoons in the UI (whatever that means) are why they use it. What is a kids hobby? Gaming? You cannot call that a kids hobby.

Nah Facebook doesn't have swatting and pedo communities.

Source?

As they should. You can’t throw an ultimatum for something that benefits nobody but the govt. and kick everyone around.

Would like to see other companies who were affected by similar situations also take this to court

How well it’ll do in court is debatable, could go for either side, but regardless of the outcome it’s always good to see resistance and pushback

Apple will lose, because the government didn't break any law.

I don't know what they are arguing in this case, but there is a chance that the government violated the US-UK Bilateral Data Access Agreement 2019, which governs data access requests from either country's government to technology companies based in the other country.

If the British government insists on this applying to non-british citizens in other jurisdictions, they are likely to be in conflict with privacy laws in those countries and that will trigger an international court case.

Absolutely mental the kind of people that have power. Dealing with this like immature children.

“We don’t get what we want? We ruin it for everyone.”

Trying to backdoor a privacy feature for no real reason, just for the sake of having a backdoor. Pathetic

Well if you need to send someone a sum of money instantly anywhere in the world for no fees, it’s kind of unrealistic to meetup with gold bars

Yep, even coinbase is stretching it to be honest since it’s still a centralized exchange, but still miles better then traditional options
