So this is super sucky and likely to spread. Alternate source. Key points, at roadside stops etc, people are required to give access to their phones using Cellebrite Israeli phone crackers, likely to download a complete image. No limits placed on data retention, no noted protection against Cellebrite having unfettered access.
Has it gotten to the point where we should be striving to keep only a minimum viable configuration on phones and have some sort of searchable backup on a home server, or even an out of country VPS? Anyone got any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Having GrapheneOS doesn’t help much when it’s a ten year felony to refuse access. AFAIK it’s still a warrant to get access to your home computer, for now.
This may get shot down in the courts, but that won’t help much if it happens to you in the meantime, this stuff is forever. The right to digital privacy has the price of eternal vigilence, but they just keep raising the bar on how onerous that vigilence is.
God I hate labor right so fucking much and I hate how much labor left enables them
Exactly. How the fuck is this a left wing policy? What the fuck is the “left” faction doing enabling the enforcers of a fascist state?
Labor are neoliberals, first and foremost. They’ve made that abundantly clear most of my adult life. They’re only left of unapologetic fascism, but these criminally corrupt, treasonous, crimes against humanity prove the difference is superficial.
We live in capitalist dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”. Every business is an oligarchy/plutocracy, and all major political parties reflect their profit motives. They used their capital to “seize the means of democracy”.
Honestly I believe they dont think how it could be used against them. There’s also a tendency to compromise too much and be defensive which ofc just accelerates the decline
Also note that it’s stated to be already the case in QLD, VIC, although details are unclear.
Not a peep from mainstream media AFAICT.
Honestly didnt know that. I do need to keep ontop of these things but as you said mainstream media dont say much on it
