Rabbit Hole Recap (npub10ut…xdlq) 346:
A big theme of this episode is privacy and security… ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) and MartyBent (npub1guh…6hjy) discuss EU proposals to force tech companies to create back door access to encrypted data. They applaud Apple for leading the fight against it. They discuss the change in Firefox TOS promise to not sell users data.
But they also make references to a lot of debunked stories about USAID, which gets to my main point.
Too many bitcoiners including ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) and MartyBent (npub1guh…6hjy) are losing their values. They’re self righteous about privacy, but look the other way while the new US administration and Elon Musk - a private unelected citizen and billionaire owner of X - raids all of our private data, has access to tax return records for every American, and knows exactly how much bitcoin you’ve purchased or sold through US exchanges.
These guys and many others look the other way because they’re on the same side as Trump in the ridiculous culture wars of the right.
So much so they felt the need to apologize for liking Costco (presumably because Costco has vowed to keep its DEI initiatives in place).
Stop preaching standards you aren’t living up to, fellas.
