Well, I think it is only possible to make this movie now, after a decade and a half of bullshit that has been pushed onto everyone by various pro trans, pro socialist or even pro Marxist movements.

Now that Trump is running (and likely ruining) the place, it is possible to come out with anything I think and who is going after Brooks, what are they going to do, cancel him? :)))

That is the question.

I can see if they outsourced something and delegated a subdomain and the contract expired and then somehow the spammers got the IP's (hosting farm?) which had been abandoned and set up DNS.

But I've never been able to request a specific IP when setting up a VPS or colo, so it's kinda a mystery to me.

404 should have included the most basic of details.

If you are wanting to steal a car then clearly you are commiting theft and the question of data is secondary. Suppose instead your government is wanting to track your car to see where it has been. It is (I hope) illegal for them to force everyone to have a GPS tracker installed on their vehicle for this purpose. However, it is not illegal for a car manufacturer to choose put one on your vehicle - after all you need if for navigation - but then have it record your location data to a file that they can read when they service your car, or even transmit it over a mibile data connection.

Now, in Europe or Canada, data protection laws would probably make it illegal for the car manufacturer to sell that personal data to anyone. However, if they did sell it to say a government then the person breaking the law would be the car manufacturer, not the government, because the data is under the control of the company and they have a duty under the law to protect it which includes not selling it to anyone, government or otherwise.

Hence my question anout what laws the _government_ broke because, from where I'm standing, it looks like the airlines who are at fault here because they owned the data and so it is they who have the duty to protect it although, given the weaker data protection laws in the US, it may be that they are allowed to sell everyone's personal data.

Is there anyone who is aware of concepts like Secure Flight and the No-fly List really thinking that prior flight information isn't being kept by DHS and used in evaluating future security stance?

If you fly a one-way, last minute cash ticket to Iran, be prepared for that flight data to be taken into account on future US flights. This should be obvious to everone.

It is perfectly fine for the government to break laws

What laws did your government break? The airlines were not compelled to release the data, they chose to sell the data to the government. If anyone broke the law it was the airlines who sold the private data they held...which is probably why they required the government not to tell anyone how they got it.

Our social structures prey on the human animal instinct for convenience and instant gratification.

Higher-level humans are trained to resist these urges by traditional social structures.

The "cultural Marxists" encourage each of the "seven deadly sins" to disarm the people who are being trained in the more frontal-lobe strategies. That makes them much easier to control.

Big Tech is an instrument of this structure. Corporate law makes it trivial to exploit them, and that's the ones not founded by Int-Q-Tel.
