  • Fair point that it hasn’t been rescinded, but I’m struggling to find any convictions based on this law or citations of this law ever being used in court, so it really does not seem relevant nowadays. If anyone can dig up any and reference them here, I’ll gladly edit this comment to reflect that information.

    There are laws from 1700s that haven’t been rescinded but also bear no relevance to the modern day. California just changed old legal language stating that marriage was defined as being between a man and woman, but gay marriage has been legal for a long time now.

    It probably won’t make a difference for you, but if you worked in a government facility and they’re spying on you, obtaining credentials, obtaining information on infrastructure in the energy sector, government facilities, etc., getting network credentials, getting floorplans, getting times where a changing of the guard occurs, etc. - any foreign entity can use that info to tear a country down from the inside and kick off a full scale war.

    Local government isn’t going to self-saborage with that information. Yeah, spying on the citizens is awful and we should avoid any apps/devices that do that too, but that’s not as bad as war unless it gets so bad that it gets to a point of civil war which seems unlikely.

    inb4 tankies claim “conspiracy”:
    China hacked US Telecom Infrastructure
    China hacking US Treasury
    Two recent events I was able to dig up fairly quickly. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more. Apparently they tapped Trump’s phone too, but not sure how credible the article/source is.

    Agreed. Any downvotes you got/get are simple shills of the mindsets “rich people bad” and “Windows bad”, both of which are very prevalent here. Multiple people here (not all) throwing those downvotes around would be doing the same shit if they were billionaires, or worse.

    Wish we could all be like Pepe.
