😂 Ok sure. You're right. Mossad has to ask politely, and then LightSpark will share your I.P. address.
Got me on that one.
Discussion
its not funny.
defaults matter.
the possiblity of surveillance isnt the same thing as blanket surveillance.
and you're conflating the two irresponsibly.
Sure. But I.P. addresses going to a known company known to be knee-deep in politics and compliance tech, isn't that kind of similar to blanket surveillance?
No, its not.
Proton is a good company to use for certain threat models for example.
although they might log your IP and turn it over to the feds.
I don't want to see LN scaling with surveillance tech either.
but this isn't the way to educate people about it.
Proton is a company which has been the public face of "privacy on the internet" for a zillion years.
LightSpark is a company that six months ago was selling itself as a "compliance" solution for Lightning.
These are not the same thing.
LightSpark is also hiding behind all of the (maybe formerly) trusted brands like Blitz and Wallet Of Satoshi and Cake. If you visit any of those websites (cake, wos, blitz), they do NOT tell you prominently that there is this one company in LA (LightSpark) who is getting all of your data. It's sketchy. Sketchy things should be discussed, as we are now doing....
fair.
Use a vpn?
