This over reach is so terrifying it's almost funny. Always use a VPN and/or Tor.


FB is inherently evil and must be stopped at all costs. And your last part about giving those two groups a platform: so fucking what? Those groups are much more prestigious than our 'leaders'.


I'd say this is very thoughtful and rational, and if I was the owner of the site in question, I would be thankful for poweruser comments.


Why is this not on the front page?


The top reply on twitter is "At the time of writing, we can confirm that no such request has been received." The original author cites no other sources for his claim.


What use is the DEA to normal, everyday Americans?


At this point, if you can't see how fucked up the US legal system is, I am sorry.

Federal court has in the 90 percent conviction rate. Is it because they have such air tight cases and evidence to follow? No, it's a purely political kangaroo court.

Someone would do well do wipe this cancerous 'judicial' system off grid.


Eh how is it purely political kangaroo court with jury convinctions? And for sure they only bring cases they think they can win they admit to this.. for sure having money helps get you better defense. But a purely political kangaroo is a pretty big stretch. Unless you are talking about the secret FISA courts sure. What is way more scary is the whole killing USA citizen via drone strikes in foreign countries no court cases at all.


Peremptory challenges?


Would be awesome after you make some money back if you could open hardware it for those of us who require full trust!


What open-hardware Raspberry Pi alternative would you be using with this then?

After all, hardly any point of having a open-hardware HAT if you connect it to a closed-hardware Raspberry Pi. Even if the full schematics etc were available, the processor on the Pi is anything but open.


It's so pathetic, everything 'terrorist' these days purely means what the government/private corporation doesn't like.


That has to be the most lame excuse I've ever heard, at least it's funny!


What if I were to make encrypted phones and software for high net worth individuals and celebrities?


That's fine but you'll eventually have undercovers (or less discrete criminals) who'll lets 'slip' that they're using your phones to do crimes at which point if you don't refuse to sell to them you're a criminal too in most of the world.
