What data can they collect if they're using Perfect forward secrecy? This is a legitimate question. I'm not a knowledge expert but I thought Perfect forward means they never know the encryption.

By default Mullvad uses the following settings: Control channel: an AES-256-GCM cipher with RSA-4096 handshake encryption and HMAC SHA-1 hash authentication. Perfect forward secrecy is provided by a DHE-4096 Diffie Hellman key exchange, which is re-keyed every 60 minutes. Data channel: an AES-256-GCM cipher.

Only the countries listed should have access to these invasive technologies. Because when we do it it's for your own good. Like spying on Trump or journalists or citizens or protesters or the political enemy! When other countries do this its to extend authoriatarianism. These countries lost the right to pull that high road card after the last 20 years af abuses. They turned the high road into dirt roading.

And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun

So facebook and other entities fail to protect our image privacy, and we get no recourse. Those images are stolen by Clearview AI and sold as a service to our government, and we have no recourse to Clearview AI or the various agenices. If the government gets what it wants they don't care about us US citizens. We used to live in a country that at least on paper respected our privacy. Those days have past, and few seem to mourn their passing.

The repeal under Clinton of the Glass-Steagall act, allowed commercial and investments banks to be one entity. The great depression was widely considered to be a result of speculative recklessness. The 2008 arm-a meltdown was allowed to happen where otherwise it wouldn't have been through this repeal. It wasn't regulated like it had been previously.

Comment Re:China wants to spy on US/ the world (Score 1) 171

Morality in politics doesn't exist, if the opposite of that is what I conveyed, I failed. I was curious how much of this was geopolitics and economic posturing. When Bill Clinton secured Chinas entry into the WTO and CEO's of tech companies salivated to get production of all technology into China, this was an obvious a danger and a threat then. As a simple 20 year old it was obvious the dangers it represented to have manufacturing in a country that didn't respect IP rights, human rights or rights of citizens to privacy etc. Yet here we are suddenly realizing it under new politics and economics that this threat suddenly exists. If there is actual evidence it would validate my concerns. Currently it still looks like some level of politcal theater and as a citizen I don't get hard evidence supplied. I believe they are doing these things, nd we are doing similar. Proof helps when facts matter in cases like these.

I recall hearing about the supermicro extra chips on servers. Is there proof to the embedded spy chips that you can share? I know Huawei and Hikvision are banned from any governement contractor, but I havent seen any details of embedded spy chips. There is some chance this is Alphabet/Meta protecting their relevance, but it can also be true what is beig claimed.
