“Mass surveillance had never stopped a single terrorist attack in more than 10 years of operation, in the United States.” They even view your porn habits… This was from 2016, think how advanced things are now within the 10 years after this.

wikileaks lost all credibility after it allowed itself to be a vehicle during 2016 elections.

I’m saying, fuck off with using information to turn public opinion into a weapon against political rivals.
wikileaks had the email and benghazi data months before the start of the 2016 campaign but continued to “trickle” information about it that allowed Donald Trump to get elected.
I’m absolutely certain they also had information about the Epstein files as well, but that didn’t come to light until almost a decade later and the public is still not fully aware of what happened today.
so yeah. fuck wikileaks. they’re just a front for Russian intelligence and was leveraged to destabilize world democracy.

“the truth” has no motives, only people and organizations do.
what wikileaks did and does is leverage the truth to manipulate opinions and outcomes.
what you’re basically admitting to is that you’re willing to be manipulated because the ends justify the means.
if that’s not the most fucked up perspective I’ve ever had the displeasure of wrapping my mind around, I don’t know what could be worse.
take your brainrot ideas somewhere else.

Having to choose between two of the worst people ever isn’t democratic to me. Clinton is a monster too, which is very obvious when you see people outside the US as human. Obviously Trump’s policies are even worse, but let’s not pretend you needed much help to get that pos elected when even after the files so many people over there still like him.
don’t go moving those goal posts too far.
I’m just asserting you don’t need a foreign state to explain this.
so you actually believe that wikileaks has no other motivations other than just releasing the truth?
I think it’s great that this continues to wake interest. If anyone is wondering, the surveillance is worse today.
Now that the US is an enemy to western Europe, maybe we can pull the plug on X-keyscore and their other shit at our internet exchange points.
Nah, this just a ml ‘the West bad’ cross-post with a 10-year old content. Seems the tankies run out of stuff.
The surveillance landscape has shifted dramatically since 2016. Today, we don’t just have passive state surveillance tapping cables; we have massive, voluntary corporate surveillance through the centralization of AI. Millions of developers and businesses are willingly uploading their proprietary source code, database structures, and internal spreadsheets to cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft). All this data is logged, parsed, and stored in central cloud databases. We are essentially building the ultimate corporate intelligence database of all private technical infrastructure, completely voluntarily. If you care about privacy today, the absolute priority should be moving towards local-first execution. If you must leverage cloud LLMs, the only safe way is to use architectures that enforce local data isolation, keeping your actual database rows and files local, and sending only empty abstract schemas to the model for reasoning
