yeah the elites who run the world have limitless money for the lobbying. I don’t think it’s possible to win this war on their turf under their rigged rules. Revolution is the only way but I don’t think that’s a realistic possibility neither. They have so many ways to divide and conquer.

problem is getting everyone to do revolution at the same time. That’s one of the purposes of mass surveillance, they can detect the early beginnings of organization and send them to prison before it grows into a big snowball.

Intel ME and AMD PSP, in conspiracy-speak are kinda like government backdoors, closed source, undocumented, with huge control over a processor.

In theory it’s possible that intel me is made to be spyware/backdoor for feds but I don’t think it is because if it was then why are there so many cyber criminals in the world who the feds can’t catch? There are lots of cyber criminals on the top wanted lists and feds want to catch them so badly. And that’s just the non-affiliated cyber criminals, then there are also nation sponsored hackers for example north korea has been in spotlight recently for crypto hacks. And if intel me really was what we fear it could be in theory then usa’s enemies like russia and china would be instantly defeated.

So even if it’s possible in theory because it’s cpu proprietary firmware with its own OS and that’s scary but if it really was abused that way then wouldn’t the world be a completely different situation?

Also, intel wouldn’t need to have a backdoor in intel me. This source puts it well (https://deploy-preview-244--privsec-dev.netlify.app/posts/knowledge/laptop-hardware-security/):

Intel and AMD do not need the co-processor to implement a backdoor - they can simply introduce CPU vulnerabilities like Spectre and Meltdown if they want to. If you do not trust a CPU vendor, the only mitigation is to not use said vendor.

So if you read that article, he says there’s no point in buying an old brick just to be able to disable intel me because of the above quote.

It sounds like you’re saying buying used second hand laptops can’t have malware from the manufacturers, only new laptops can but that is wrong.

If you buy second hand you still have that risk of malware from manufacturers and you also have the risk of malware received because of previous owner bad opsec. So if you avoid second hand laptops then your risk is small but with second hand then its bigger risk.

I learned about Cloudflare mitm quickly because when you use Tor browser you will see how many websites use cloudflare because you can’t access all those sites. So I did a little research about this problem about cloudflare and found out how serious and huge problem it is.

You think i’m intentionally spreading misinformation and I think you are a fed. I won’t argue more against you but anyone fair and objective can see that the mistake I made was a simple mistake to make. feds have as a fact been spying on our push notifications in secret and i thought that included signal’s push notifications. Simple mistake which I already admitted to being wrong about. You are making this into a bigger deal than it has to be because you are a fed.

You also are intentionally lying (because you are a fed) about that is the only thing the topic is about. For example, if someone is using Signal on Windows OS then I think there’s a high chance the conversation isn’t private. But I think you already know all this but you pretend not to.

“spreading misinformation” is a phrase mostly used by feds when they see something they consider to be “wrong think” or not “politically correct”. They use this anti-misinformation campaign to support their censorship and mass surveillance system.

When discussing advanced IT topics it would be more appropriate to just correct someone and say they are wrong because it’s easy to be get a detail wrong in advanced it topics.

And I am mostly right, I just seem to have been wrong on the detail about Signal push notifications. I admit that I made a mistake on that but otherwise it is official that Apple and Google at least used to share push notification data with governments. This comes from the DOJ senator Wyden saying these corporations can secretly share this data with governments and can include the unencrypted text which is displayed in the notification.

I think this discussion has been very constructive because when we can correct each other and learn that is great.

do they allow you to create anonymous accounts by paying with monero? And connected via TOR browser?
