it's tough for people to be unjustly arrested anymore. you really need to work at it tbh.
your black friend will not be convicted based on circumstantial evidence.
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc so now we find our first actual root disagreement :)
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc but why though?
if a person is obeying the law, why would they need to prevent LE with a search warrant from seeing that information?
they will get it anyhow, why make it easier for criminals to crime?
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc i believe that there's enough transparency and truth in people inherently to ensure that nothing major can happen in secret, and also in how mathematically impossible it is to actually keep a conspiracy secret anymore.
as soon as two alive people know something, everyone knows.

https was created as a business decision by marc andreesen (a billionaire now). because of that decision, it's been used as a technological foundation for a lot of people to get very wealthy and for a lot of criminals to be protected.
people simply aren't going to try to "intercept" the regular internet traffic of a person when there are much better ways to learn the information they want. governments need search warrants in the first place.
https perpetuates a culture of fear. nobody actually has anything important and private to say. if everyone could know your secrets instantly then that means everyone else's secrets can be instantly known to you.
to me that sounds like a better world than one with all this privacy.
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc i believe governments need to use encryption simply as basic defense against the great majority of people we should fear.
that need doesn't mean that everybody should have the capability legally. you're not allowed to own an RPG, right? you could get one, at great legal risk though.
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc you understand that the entire dotcom era blew up, existed, and failed, without https, right? and no internet user ever got their accounts drained due to lack of it.
my general theory is that we are protecting bad actors because people can't be trusted to type a proper web address. it's truly that simple.
anyone that has the power to mitm you already has cheaper and more effective ways of learning more about you than you know about yourself.
i mean, we're on a protocol literally called "ActivityPub"
who in their right mind is going to post secrets here?
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc also fwiw, i'm essentially defederated from any server worth mentioning (by their choice), because of my strong distaste for encryption, and my belief that it should be illegal apart from government use.
last week or so i've been profanely blasting out my company's Bank of America username and password just to prove that fear of mitm attacks is silly.
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc oh i hear that :)
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc
exactly, i mentioned "you're working on that" :)
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc that's cool because normal is boring
nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc
but apparently you're working on that, right?

nostr:npub1ua7ld4as3dplpjfwdws9mk57y6cjrm4scxtcwhm825r7u02hul2qlmrrg3 why would anyone ever post secrets to something called, literally, "ActivityPub"
nostr:npub1d0spkr0ktwcasanl9jmyx8vtm03tugv7a89f2u367k6jeul7pvqspfegda he didn't say anything in that tweet that isn't protected speech.
i don't mean to defend him at all, just stating the facts.
