No, the U.S. Supreme Court did not order Jeffrey Epstein records sealed before 2024. Instead, a federal district court judge in New York (Loretta Preska) ordered the unsealing of hundreds of documents in December 2023, which began to be released in early January 2024. These records originated from a 2015 civil lawsuit.

If linked in any way to the identity of the user then yes, it should be banned. If collected without the user being clearly notified this is happening, and without the user's explicit opt-in then yes, it should be banned

They were government-required audit logs, tied to user accounts (21 CFR Part 11) The underlying feature is un-ban-able. We asked the companies for them so we could figure out the adoption rates of new features. Most companies didn't care. We didn't do anything else with the data.

That sort of disinformation ramps up the noise fast. The signal then merely needs to look indistinguishable from the noise. It is so so much easier to hide out amongst freaks, geeks, and weirdos. Even Johnny English could hide out in such a crowd and not remotely stand out.

You're overthinking things. You don't care about the riff-raff who hang out in the Lil' Ale'inn. You make it seem like it's easy to get a janitorial job at the facility and monitor the heck out of those who apply. Also any government workers whom seem over-eager to get their hands on documentation coming out of the site, which is all, also, disinformation, so who cares if any other country gets it.

What does it really require to monitor an aircraft? Active RADAR? No. Passive RADAR using civilian radio transmissions would be undetectable and can be done in post-processing as long as you have a good enough recording that's adequately timestamped and location stamped.

"UFO" balloons aren't to monitor aircraft. They are to test air defense radar. How good an enemy's radar is at picking up specific signatures, say roughly cruise-missile-like, is much more useful information than aircraft capability.
