The agency (FTC) can seek civil penalties, I do not see anywhere that companies could bring a lawsuit that they couldn’t before (libel?).

Does it treat forks differently?

I don’t think the server software is open source.

I don’t think there was anything in the article indicating the privacy of WhatsApp was actually breached, they got info by reading WhatsApp messages from other people in the chat who had already been arrested and from Apple.

According to the article they did seize whatever they could.

This is just false, there is a mathematical framework for aggregating data in a way that prevents de-anonymization https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy. This is what the US census department uses to release census statistics without impacting anyone’s privacy.

Why would they pay them, just use the power of the free market and raise the price of electricity (or even just for industrial users like bitcoin miners) when supply is low until they bow out because it’s not profitable and demands matches supply. Weird how the free market is only good when it’s not free, but dominated by monopolists.

It makes sense to have some kind of limit to prevent abuse, otherwise Reddit (or other sites) may be forced to ban the SimpleLogin domain if it becomes a source of spam. It would be similar from an email provider preventing you from sending spam from their domain.

Do you know what the rated NRR is? The Wikipedia article doesn’t say so this doesn’t really answer the question.

This is a really good point, but I’m still curious how bad actors are doing the actual wiretapping on any more than a targeted scale.

“As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag,” Alito wrote of reports and photos showing an upside-down American flag flying outside of his Virginia home after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. “I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention . . .”

Claiming not to be aware of a flag outside his own house, I would say it’s unbelievable but these are republicans we’re talking about.

I mean it’s as secure as standard phone call, which most people are comfortable giving things like SSN over, no?
