> If an attacker has enough control of your machine...

Not a plot-twist. Microsoft is the attacker or aiding and abetting someone that is. You are evaluating the world as if rules of conduct still exist anywhere among the ruling class.

Nice try Miscavige (LOL) - Alleged and/or proven in court: Financial exploitation / Extortion, Fraud and deceptive business practices / Abuse and mistreatment of members / Forced labor / Harassment, intimidation, and private investigations of critics and defectors (including alleged smear campaigns) / Litigation and strategic lawsuits against critics and journalists / pressuring members to cut ties with critics or exmembers, family / Withholding medical care or discouraging psychiatric treatment / Psychological manipulation and highcontrol/cultlike behaviors (auditing). There so much more... If this is their punishment, they are getting off easy.

The doublespeak: "fully [aligns] with national procedures, diplomatic protocols, and the broader objective of fostering a balanced and consensus-driven platform for dialogue." There are so many guardrails, you can't discuss the blatant disregard of digital rights by (fascist) western governments and the mainstream media that supports them. As if further proof is needed, digitalRights has been cancelled for the foreseeable future by democratic powers committing war crimes.

The US is - and has long been - a rogue terror state.

First the FBI starts trying to knock the doors down at archive.today trying to find the owner (and likely to access backend data). After that, archive.today makes VPN connections more difficult (were they being targeted with criminally suspicious uploads?). Now archive.today is being blamed for DDoS attacks against others and harming their own integrity (wth) by randomly screwing around with uploads. So suspicious... Are there files at archive.today that were uploaded that should not have been? Epstein related? Another op against the United States by a parasitic israel? (I mention the two main triggers that exist today). Is this all connected? Forced IDs, Google locking down sideloading, Microsoft creeping into user's OneDrive accounts and blaming software bugs, Discord, more sites making VPN access more difficult, tons more... Is Big Tech now such an extension of the new fascist state that we can't tell where the state ends and Big Tech begins?

Hollywood is spending a ton of money (partially funded & directed by gov agencies) on an army of bots and shills to target anyone using AI that may encroach on their territory. Hollywood isn't just about entertainment, it's about manipulating the population to behave a certain way. Their well-documented close ties with the government speaks to this. Their well-documented close ties to a specific foreign nation speaks to this. They spent a ton of money buying out the threat that TikTok posed to continue gaslighting, they sure aren't going to let AI content creators into the conversation. That's laughable. So like many others, I ask... where can I stream this?

He's playing to his base: The words "fact" and "book", so close together, are very scary to these people.

Always with the vague, nonsensical language. What does "focused on AI safety, transparency and governance" even mean? With Proton (Lumo), DDG and Brave they are very clear. Privacy this, no saving of chats, etc... in plain language we can understand. We can question that. We can't even begin to decipher the gibberish this company virtue signals daily. The only thing they stand for is what people imagine and project they stand for.

Literally Strawman argument 101. What other scenarios do you fantasize Stallman to be in or are those too private to share?

AI has already been weaponized worldwide, led by US/israeli efforts. Flimsy internal laws will have minimal effects. I foresee a point where countries will physically cut off international internet access because of this weaponization. We have already seen what uncheck power is doing around the world. AI just makes it so much easier for some (of the same) countries to terrorize others.

"... but who directs it and for what purposes?" As he's already aware, those decision have long ago been made. We'll keep asking these questions for the next few years until it truly is too late. That's the game plan. It keeps everyone from mobilizing until the only thing that remains is the illusion of choice.

In the meantime, he's handed the decryption keys to all cloud data on every iDevice user in China. (source: common knowledge)

Consider yourself judged.

With conspiracy hat on: maybe they were going after bigger fishes while working with the government or local law enforcement. So instead of targeting a possible suspect directly, they employed a kind of 6 degrees of separation.

The primary suspect (or suspicious person or one with a low "social credit": remember, even Apple reads emails now to determine a Trust Score[0]) would normally be more guarded.
