We've come a lot further than that in IT security . Pretty much everything is encrypted these days.


So it's a lot less likely a private firm could be hacked by a govt entity.


Even so, it seems extremely roundabout to collect that data signature of random people from a company data stream instead of just getting a warrant which would give them the same access to the specific person they want. :patrice:

Anything you use on the Internet they are using to track you. It's simple. They tell you it's good for you, and people eat it up. Easy money. Palantir is about to take it to a whole new level.
PLTR is a very good stock tho, if everyone is doing the shyt then what's the issue. I got in at 21.68 and wish I dropped wayyyy more :mjcry:

Most of these companies were created by the government. Spin offs of previous projects.

I'd be surprised if this company was actually made by the government.

And "needing" to record the IMEI to prevent "cheating" still makes no sense to me. On Angry Birds on top of that.

Soon gamers will catch onto why most of their games have "anti-piracy" software, along with the "real" reason why everything is online. You are not only a customer, but a guinea pig, a child to a nanny, and a crop to digital farmers ala Cryptocurrency.

yea, you have no idea what you are talking about. :beli:

the encryption models are usually created in conjunction with the government (NSA specifically) through grants, loans and material support.

the government strongarms these companies (the government and the non governmental organizations are the same thing, they all fall under the umbrella of WS) into created back doors or zero day exploits that are either hidden or never patched.

you really operating under the assumption that the Intel supercenter (or foxconn or microsoft or palantir or any other numerous unit 8200 adjacent companies) in israel or in the states do not have certain vulnerabilities not only coded into the software, but entrenched in the firmware and hardware? :what:

do they have to come out and admit it to you directly? assuming that the government doesn't have their hands in encryption models is laughable at best.


these are just a few sources, a few more can be provided if need be.

i did a decade and change in the air force, with my last 7 being cyber surety 3d0x3, and have also been a contractor concurrently. what you are saying is false, misinformed, and dangerous.

No not anything. I see you still preaching fear doom and gloom as usual. You imagine that everyone is as clueless about how things work as you are so you can just claim some shyt. "Anything and they"... Bold proclamations

First "they" is ambiguous as usual. Sometimes it's the devil but now I guess it's the government.

Cool story bro. Can you back up those claims relating to this story or anything similar. Names of companies and what they created

Conspiracy bros always try to bake with crumbs like they not left overs. You don't have any of this information stop the bullshyt you just catching wind of it and trying to fill in the knowledge gaps with bullshyt claims pretending you were up on this like you do everything else.

They could have said all this data collection would happen and most people wouldn't read the document just hit agree to download the game. Most of the shyt y'all pretend is hidden is being done openly because people are not concerned. Have a McDonald's app? You agreed to be tracked. Just one example in a multitude of them. You have options to restrict location data from apps individually and collectively. Me personally I stopped playing any games that require me to be online after download on the phone. I thought that was obvious data harvesting. Most people don't protect their data, they actually agree to have it harvested.

This is part of the reason why the U.S. government couldn't scare people about China and Tik Tok. We already assume all our data is being tracked.
