Except everywhere is getting more expensive, not just gentrified neighbourhoods. And a middle aged lawyer should be able to afford a 1 bedroom anywhere in the world, it’s ridiculous what housing costs now.
John Oliver even did a thing on this, people don’t care about “metadata”, but ask them if they should be able to see your dick pics and people care a lot more
The only thing that makes this obviously fake is that it claims she downloaded them from people's phones, rather than from some centralized NSA data store... And the idea an NSA employee would be held accountable publicly and cause bad PR.
Government databases getting misused for personal motives is actually pretty common.
AP did a report on this back in 2016 and while public records on this are fairly limited, they still found about 300 cases of database abuse from 2013 through 2015.
I mean, it’s been well known that the NSA has been intercepting and logging all domestic internet and other telecommunication traffic for like a decade now.
The NSA does have all the pictures from your phone and probably your PC as well, though. And you’d be naive to think they can’t search by object, because I can do that shit on Amazon Photos. They don’t have a “dick” filter but how hard (giggity) would it be to make one? Just buy Chatroulette’s ML model for a start.
Set up NextCloud, sync your photos to your own NextCloud server, and you’re good to go. The crazy thing is it’s becoming trivial for even a non-technical user to set everything up. Tail scale means there is no reason to put forward if you are just using it for personal use, and you literally just have to log into tail scale with your Google account on the server and your phone. You can run next cloud in a virtual machine with virtualBox, and that’s literally it. You don’t have to deal with updating, being stuck in PHP or dependency hell, none of that. Seriously, we are at such a crazy time in history where you can set up your own cloud infrastructure with an hour of work for even an non-technical user, and stop paying for iCloud photos or Google photos storage each month. It saves you money and improves your privacy
The crazy fuck actually did it. They Must’ve seen that John Oliver episode where they did a man on the street segment about privacy and everyone was like “I got nothing to hide” until their private information was replaced in questions as “your dick pics” at which point everyone started questioning it all of a sudden.
