>But this should be a cautionary warning of what might also happen to anyone if you associate with things that are perceived as criminal in nature. This would come off lot more legit if the current elected US president wasn't a convicted rapist and constantly promoting crypto along with his acolytes like Elon Musk.
Wow did this just happen today? I can't find anything about it online

>> wait until Palantir makes a unified database of everyone, they won't even need to have a previous offense, they can make one based on all the collected information or even based on your behaviors. Well, I hear that if you make being gay a crime again, you cut off the head of palantir.
Prayer can do amazing things, including curing homosexuality. See Thiel's exploration of the "Antichrist". I remember when I used to think Thiel had libertarian values!
Money can do a lot more things, including inducing hypocrisy, double standardism and blindness.

>> But this should be a cautionary warning of what might also happen anyone if you associate with things that are perceived as criminal in nature. Opioid painkillers are associated with “things that are criminal in nature” because a certain segment of every society does and will suck, nearly no matter what. Does this mean that everybody in pain should just suffer and let their education, career, and family be taken f…
Interesting, Trump administration pardoned Ross William Ulbricht who run drug dealing business specifically because it was done behind Tor using cryptocurrency. So this was a one off? This sounds awful lot like Middle Eastern mafia stuff, where it's technically illegal to do some things but you can do a lot of things if you are aligned with the people in power. I have no idea what this person was up to but this selec…
Didn't Ulbricht get pardoned for being a hero of the cryptocurrency-bros, as kind of a deal to get support from the Libertarians in the election? I think he was a one-off, or at least part of a small category that doesn't extend to cryptography and privacy idealists.
"CFAA offense" You can catch one of these by logging into your moms netflix account.
If you steal your mom’s password without consent and she argues that you accessed information on the account that you were not authorized to see, maybe. However the quote on its own is not necessarily true without further qualifications as mentioned above.
It's absolutely true, you're accessing an unauthorized account. All law enforcement need to do is ask you, did you access an electronic account that was not yours ?
Nuance will be ignored when it suits them.

1. Admitting to using cannabis during supervised release
2. Failing to make scheduled restitution payments and to cooperate with the financial investigation that sets restitution payment amounts.
3. Falling out of contact with his probation officer, who attempted home visits to find him.
4. Opening several new lines of credit.
5. Using an unauthorized iPhone (all his Internet devices apparently have keyloggers as a condition of his release).
These read like kind of standard parole terms? I don't know what the hell happened to get him into this situation in the first place, though.

Well, it's punching down. If you are a big corporation or otherwise have the means to fight back, you don't have much to fear.
people talk a lot about how much they're against punching down, but I don't actually see that many people itching to take on Dwayne Johnson. The fact is for humans and organizations who are punching, punching down is generally their preferred method.
