Submission + - Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous 'Stop Cop City' Protester (404media.co)

AmiMoJo writes: Privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
The records provide insight into the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on its end-to-end encryption and that it is only governed by Swiss privacy law, can and does provide to third parties. In this case, the Proton Mail account was affiliated with the Defend the Atlanta Forest (DTAF) group and Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, which authorities were investigating for their connection to arson, vandalism and doxing. Broadly, members were protesting the building of a large police training center next to the Intrenchment Creek Park in Atlanta, and actions also included camping in the forest and lawsuits. Charges against more than 60 people have since been dropped.

I would add that the cabin crew should make sure there is decent ventilation during boarding. Some of them like to let the CO2 build to keep the passengers docile and half asleep.

I wouldn't fly on an airline that got rid of recline in economy, at least not long haul.

Papers for a service animal wouldn't be allowed in Europe, it would be discriminatory. You don't need papers for a wheelchair.

Drinky and I don't mesh at all. We're not even very politically aligned (though we do have some things in common)

I was merely commenting on that written diarrhea you emitted. Like truly- you have to have an IQ of Potato to write that shit with a straight face.
Assuming we even take that dumb shit at face value, about half of the monikers apply to politicians of both sides, a couple of them are strongly slanted in the conservative direction, and the idea that liberals are.... nazis? and racist? lol. That's just fucking stupid.
Now, I'll grant you there are some fascistic tendencies on the modern liberal side- but they're liberal fascistic tendencies. The Nazis were very much not liberal, lol. If you're looking for the side with actual Nazi parallel fascistic tendencies, that is again, the conservative side.
As for racist- that claim is almost too fucking stupid to even acknowledge that it was made.

Your daddy must have skull-fucked you as a toddler with a lead-lined condom over his cock- it's the only thing that makes sense.

Most scientific discoveries benefit humanity, even if it's discovering "this doesn't work." Most modern scientific discoveries are made by professional scientists. They are making the world better for almost everybody, and they deserve to be rewarded for their accomplishments. They earn their privileges.

The Dark Ages were caused by Christians being more interested in their god than in retaining and advancing scientific and technical knowledge. The consequent human suffering is a matter of historical record. If the incentives (including privileges) to advance science are removed, science will atrophy again and humans will suffer again.

We are not living in a feudal time. By and large, the "class" we end up in is the one we earn. In most places, a fixed "class" (excepting those 0.01% at the top) is a fiction.
