Most of these apps were probably put together in a massive rush in response to people suddenly becoming aware of the threat that ICE poses. My guess would be that the most egregious security flaws are a result of vibe-coded (i.e. AI generated) code where it really shouldn't be.

He had blackmail material on politicians, authors, billionaires, thought leaders, presidents and princes. If I was in his place, I'd be sitting pretty comfortably, thinking "there's no way they can take me down with the justice system without taking themselves down too. I'm too big to fail." literally the only risk would be being assassinated by those you have blackmail material on.
how is this not obvious?
Trump isn't the problem, the problem is twofold - firstly, Trump won the popular vote, meaning that at least half of active voters voted for a totally incompetent fascist. This suggests a slightly more competent fascist would be even more successful.
The second problem is that the system that makes fascism inevitable will remain in place and no amount of voting will ever dismantle that system, because the powerful & wealthy ruling class work very hard to ensure the system that keeps them wealthy & powerful stays that way.
The only way to change the system is to dismantle it completely.
Corporations control and manipulate us through algorithms. No reform can fix that. Abolishing capitalism is the only way we can improve our situation.
My point is that we need to recognize that Fascism is already here and that we need to accept that democracy has failed us here. We need to fight for a better world, we can't just vote our way out of this.
Clapping our hands and saying "I do believe in Democracy!" won't bring it back.
if you're still scared of china at this point the propaganda has unfortunately broken through and taken root in your brain stem, i'm sorry, there's very little any of us can do to help you
mate... the US is by far the most evil country on the international stage, the whole china scare stuff was the US telling everyone what they've been doing to US-owned social media all along... this is nothing new or surprising, if you're just now waking up to this reality I'm sorry you've been asleep for so long, but I'm sorry to let you know this is gonna get worse before it gets better. The only chance the US has of avoiding falling deeper into fascism is to have a socialist revolution.
Yet more censorship and authoritarian control of the internet. There is no evidence showing a causative link between mental health issues and social media use among children. You have been lied to.
what's your opinion on Trump's regime change in Venezuela?
yeah, 100%, and there is no satisfaction in being proven right for this shit, the vindication is absolutely hollow. It sucks for everyone.
At a certain point, you're fucked anyways - if the administration goes even further fascist eventually they'll connect you to SOMETHING, even if it's some asshole ex co-worker telling the Gestapo they once overheard you speaking critically about President Tucker Carlson. Opsec is important and should be taken seriously, but we need to always keep our security and safety in perspective, and always keep in mind that the security/safety we feel from the status quo is 99% illusory.
