We should probably kill every palantir and NSA employee before they can take advantage. Feels like harm reduction.
There are theories that NSA has long since broken RSA and intentionally put vulnerabilities into Ec25519. I don't know how much credence to give those rumors, but I avoid both algorithms to be safe.
They probably have backdoors at the bare metal level anyways. There is no real chance of us defending ourselves against determined attackers from such agencies. Palantir probably doesn't come close.
Does the world lose anything for this little extra margin of safety?
Never mind, sorry, I figured out what you meant lmao, sorry for being dense, I am autistic. I already upvoted your comment, I don't like killing people because it's generally unproductive but I am totally with you in spirit, the NSA and Palantir should be abolished and those who worked with it should be put on trial for crimes against humanity... and then maybe executed. Or just forbidden from ever being in a position of authority or power. I'm open to discuss!
Genuinely not sure if i could.
