Nazism isn’t “banned” per se, at least in the U.S. as the First Amendment does not allow for viewpoint discrimination, however repugnant a viewpoint might be. But the First Amendment does not protect against cultural, social, or other forms of non-government backlash for those who support disgusting ideologies like Nazism.

So there is no “banning” that could take place of the Zionist viewpoint, if we were to consider it on par with Nazism. By and large in the U.S., Zionism and Nazism are not seen as equally repugnant viewpoints in the cultural landscape, hence the difference in how supporters of these views are treated. Hope that makes sense.

Ah yes... the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a "vulnerable group"

Maybe, I couldn't say if it's a premium for privacy, marketing, or what.

As for turning over data without a warrant, I don't have a problem with companies complying with lawful orders, as Proton does. I don't think there's any evidence to support the notion that Proton complies with non-legal or mere requests from LE. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't have an issue with telcos complying with lawful warrants, which is what Lawful Interception requires. but if your telco can only turn over limited amounts of data because that's all it has access to, then that's a plus.

Separately, do you have a source that telcos are unaware when LE is wiretapping? LE would likely need the assistance of the telco to do so and the telco should require the warrant.

I don't think this is really a replacement for the offering that Cape is proposing. Airalo are data only eSIMs and target consumers who need short-term data plans while traveling abroad. This is not a replacement of your primary carrier service and doesn't give you a phone number. Additionally, other than the transient nature of the temporary eSIM you buy, there are no notable privacy-focused features behind Airalo.

Not saying Cape follows through with its claims, just saying these are not really comparable offerings.

We can all condemn CP and rightfully so. But it's asinine to think you can break encryption and that only the good guys will be able to take advantage of that.

Don't think that happened yet when I commented, but there you go - just the justification the UK government is looking for.

True, expensive. Prosper to offset no selling customer data.

Yeah it looks like the cell network is the consumer facing product

Fair points. Different strategies for different threat models I assume. Anonymity through hardening (if we take Cape at their word, big if) or security through obscurity.

100% agree. I would definitely not have them install graphene for you. Do it yourself so you know what’s in the installation

Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

Just updated to iOS 26 and a few hours later got this notice about “enchanted 5g” for some apps. I had no idea what it was, so I checked the details and saw that it was automatic enabled and shares info about what apps you use with Verizon. If it wasn’t for this notification I would have no idea this was running.

No thanks. Disable that.

Edit: “enchanted” lol. Meant enhanced.

 

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12. The other day I noticed both of my USB-C ports are not receiving or sending data. External drives won't mount and my dock won't send signal to my monitor, but when I plug in my charging cable I am still getting power. When I use "lsblk" nothing shows up, even though sometimes I hear the chime signaling something has been plugged in (but it's inconsistent and sometimes doesn't chime).

Both of my USB-A ports are working properly and receive data, so it's only my USB-C ports.

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.3. I tried to revert back to an earlier kernel in case that was the problem but it didn't fix the issue.

Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks!
