If the Cartels have such a hole on media down there, then how did such a detailed account of this story get out?
Because they put it on an extremely popular Twitter account that was followed by the American media?

#63Why are the majority of the comments here blaming the victim? This is the death if a person who tried to stand against an overwhelming force. To try and stand against the cartels where the police didn't dare and instead of honouring her work or get death you mock her for not using tor.

This is not about cybersecurity or encryption. This is about a country that has been poisoned by the brutality of drug cartels for decades.
While ISIS terrorizes Iraq and Syria. Living in fear has become the norm for Mexico. But cartels cannot be bombed by drones and Mexico cannot be occupied by foreign forces. There are only two choices for those living in Mexico: either flee to the U.S. or accept living in a country where drug cartels yield more power than the government.

Yes, it literally would have since they found out who she was by looking through her phone after kidnapping her for an unrelated death of a cartel member. Try and read the article before you comment.
So in your theory, bloodthirsty murdering cartels are going to kidnap people, but let them go if they hit the panic encryption button on their phones or happen to be using a secret password. This is an interesting view of how drug cartels work. Personally, I don't know what the penalty for "contempt of drug cartel that just kidnapped you" is, but it seems unlikely to lead to a positive outcome.
Didn't they let the other medical workers go?

#65Should we invest serious funds (billions) into creating a 1) legal drug which is 2) not addictive, and 3) far more superior than weed, cocaine, heroine, and all the other drugs.
If it was that good it would be addicting regardless of any physical effects.

In the epilogue one of his books (maybe "the drowned and the saved"?), Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi describes giving a talk to a group of schoolchildren. One boy asked him to describe the layout of the camp, and then described how he would have escaped if he had been in Auschwitz. Nothing Primo Levi could say would convince the boy that escape was impossible. Now I'm not saying that it was impossible for this citize…
Snowden made this point at HOPE X - crypto is not going to obviate having some stones.

What? A cartel is the one that tweeted out the series of events that occurred after stealing her phone.

And what about all the customers of this cartel who give them the money to pay people enough to do things like this?
Prohibition is the only reason those cartels have customers.
Nobody is forcing their customers to give them money (save possibly the cartels themselves, I'm not sure). They could go with out or go to a country where it's legal, among other options.

>And what about all the customers of this cartel who give them the money to pay people enough to do things like this? Drugs are a fact of life, they've been used since the dawn of man and will be used likely until the end of man. They're not going away. It's abhorrent that in order to access drugs, you've to essentially send money down the chain to people carrying out such acts...but people are going to do drugs, and…
First offense for using coke - diversion to a work gang picking up dead migrants' bodies on the border
second offense - one way ticket to Reynosa or Cd. Juárez or Sinaloa for six months. Think of it as "Survivor: Edición Frontera"
