@briankrebs thank you for the important information! Edward Snowden opened our eyes! U.S.A. is _not_ _the_ land of freedom, it stabilises its autocratic nature. Went for a couple of months from Germany to the U.S.A. in the early 1990's, and was shown the results of U.S. politics - homelessness, poverty, injustice of the society. Well, saw it, and remember it. No need to visit the U.S.A. ever again... All the best to the decent U.S. citizens!

@briankrebs
“Government agencies will likely need to get deep-level access to all social media platforms to gather social media intelligence. Of course they could scrape the content for each social media account for each visitor’s application. It’s more likely they’ll seek direct access to the platforms’ databases, or use third-party firms who can do this for them.” -

@briankrebs
It's almost as if all that hero-worshipping of North Korea in Trump's first term of office led him to decide to close the US border and only allow the US citizens he's deporting out and Nigel Farage in.@Stevenheywood @briankrebs If he lets Farage in let’s hope he keeps him.😃

It seems there's _always_ something else at play, some other 'plan' underneath and behind whatever it is that's stated at face value, so this makes sense in that context.
Being in control isn't one directional, it's about every direction all at once, and when there's a built-in byproduct in some 'new rule' to guarantee even more control, they'll use it, exploit it, and look for another dozen offshoots to cement even more control.
@lumiworx @briankrebs correct. A squeezing, like from a python.
I have tried to tell people that walls keep people in just as effectively as they keep people out. Control is, as you say, the key.

@AAKL @briankrebs If the German football federation decides to either boycott the WC entirely or boycott matches in the US the rest of Europe will do the same. Mexico and Canada can handle the extra matches and tourists. FIFA can adjust quickly to cut the US out. The US matches will have low ranked teams playing in near empty stadiums.

It's Palantir and other AI tech bros who are data hungry for more data-inaccessible correlations
Intelligence agencies hope for intel.
Politicians hope for leverage against any and all
The US wants to chose their politicians in any nation by manufacturing consent with AI and micromanagement.
