lol, what
If you are healthy and kid free, you can just not go to the doctor.
That is a position of privilege not everyone has, and it is almost certainly temporary for those who do have it.

We need PII to be so toxic that companies run screaming from the liability unless they have explicit consent[1] and a legit reason to house it. A company selling me widgets wouldn't store or let another company store extra information about me if it subjected them the widget seller to HIPAA. Or better yet, something more stringent. We don't need the government to be antagonistic toward corporations; we just need a go…
> We need PII to be so toxic that companies run screaming from the liability This is how healthcare workers used to treat health information protected by HIPAA, but it seems like the big corporations don't really even care about it. Nothing ever comes from violations besides slap on the wrist/cost of doing business penalties. You can't do anything without waiving all your rights, granting permission to be recorded, g…
I just stopped writing my social down on doctor intake forms years ago after numerous "whoopsie we were hacked" letters, that almost seemed like a scam themselves(always nearly identical).
No doctor ever complained. You don't need to enter most of that info.

but you don't have separation of church and state... thats a poor comparison. religious dogma eats into nearly all public discourse.
The separation is not total but its more than used to exist.
Depends what you mean by "used to". The 17th century or before? Sure.
However, I would argue that in the US, we "used to" have far better separation prior to the 1970s, and even better than that before the 1930s. It has significantly deteriorated over the past 100 years, and the deterioration has continuously accelerated during my lifetime.

#304In this thread, the world's most brilliant minds are confused as to how to solve this problem. If you're looking for the ones responsible for bringing this on, just look in the mirror. How can you say both "oh, people won't need jobs anymore! I'm excited that technology is going to replace what I do" and "oh, I can't speak up about the things my company is doing, I need this job!" in the same breath?

This would still be destruction of evidence - virtually your only defense against that would be if it was not triggered by you .
How can they reason that evidence was destroyed when they can not prove it ever existed in the first place?
How can they in the GrapheneOS duress pin case?

AFAIK it's legal to set up a trigger that wipes a device. It isn't legal to choose to wipe your device after you know the government wants the data. Tricking the government into wiping it is still allowed, especially if you tell them not to do that.
That matches my understanding too. Unfortunately it sounds like the poster was suggesting to wipe the device after the government requests access, and was probably not planning on telling the officers about the trigger.
It's not unfortunate. It's the whole point.

This is paranoid. It is not that hard. HN famously can’t keep people out of here. They make new accounts. It’s not enough to IP ban. It’s impossible to retarget people even without vpn, all I need is a different cell tower.
I interact at various levels of anon all the time, it’s easy just cover your:
-Network (geo/IP)
-Device (useragent, cookies)
-Fingerprints (browser vendor, screen size)
And you’re off to trolling

Using GrapheneOS makes you a terrorist now. I'm a terrorist.
Since the courts decided you have to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone (because they decided that's not giving up your password and they can't compel you to give up your password), what if you use your fingerprint to wipe your phone? But you don't tell anyone ahead of time when they force you to use it. I'm sure you'd be arrested at the least. I can't be the only person who has thought of this.
A password is considered (by courts) to be testimony. Face, gesture or fingerprints are considered things like keys which you can be forced/compelled to turn over when commanded by law enforcement. Therefore, only passwords, which will require a court order to unlock, are secure enough for now.

#310I feel like sooner or later we all hollow out a little more. All this data is either used to prevent crime or to influence your thoughts and what you do in the world. Outsourcing your thinking to something else leads to digital dementia. What is the point of all of this technology?
> What is the point of all of this technology?
It is the over-reaction to 911. The 3-letter agencies were all traumatized by not knowing in advance that they pushed every single anti-privacy initiative possible. Like the PATRIOT ACT which was already written when 911 happened.
The current administration has shown that they use all these recording stuffs in order to persecute their political enemies.
