The problem is real amateur porn were kicked out because many feared to get verified which means people seek other less reputable sites to upload their videos on. Sites which some don't care about if it's legal or not like pornhub did and of course people will flock to sites that provide what pornhub destroyed. So many shady porn sites will get an income boost from what pornhub did in panic. Would you consider that a win since you agree with the verified only move? I definitely don't. It was a very bad move without any consideration of the consequences. You're supposed to support good sites. What pornhub was. Now it's just filled with professional garbage. I've been on these sites and stumbled upon illegal stuff. I never did that on pornhub. Nicholas Kristof only made the problem much worse. Journalists never consider the consequences. They only care about writing hit pieces.

I've read through the comments. Pornhub debacle is mentioned often. No one here is mentioning that many people have fantasies like a rape fantasy, a teenage fantasy, etc. A good search algorithm picks up on that and will make suggestions based on your previous searches/watched videos and the videos other people with similar interests have watched. This should be obvious. The videos have bad unspecified titles because it's easier to find. People are unspecified in their search terms. They don't search for "rape fantasy" they search for "rape". They don't search for "feet fetish" they search for "feet". What is it people don't get about this?

I think people should just mind their own business and stop policing what other people do. "If you don't like it don't watch it". As long as it's not illegal leave people alone with their fantasies. Don't be so damn judgmental. It's just sad how sexually repressed some people are and that they think they have the right to control other people. It feels like we are one step from starting to burn "witches" and books again.

And they got their way if my memory doesn't fail me. DEFCON talk was cancelled.

Why not ask for something impossible for them to agree to so they leave you alone? For example "I'll become an informant if you pay me 2 billion per contact and 1 million per week while being an informant". Will that not work?

Besides why didn't you go for a lawsuit? They threatened and harassed you. They threatened your employment, your livelihood.

Not to mention you claim to be a security researcher and the first thing on your mind wasn't to record them and take down their details to publish later on internet. It's a good punishment. It would prevent those who visits you to do certain work and with their face and name everyone will know what they are, where they live. In case people want to visit and leave some very justified feedback about the FBI. It's perfectly legal to record them since they entered your home/property. Always, always record!

I bet they left a card so you could contact them. Even publishing that alone is good.

FBI is very afraid of the public light because of this in my opinion illegal stuff they do. FBI must have positive PR. Bad PR means less trust, less informants, etc.

A a security researcher you are supposed to know this stuff. How to deal with FBI, etc. I'm disappointed.

The courts protect FBI and police. [0] Impossible to get a real win from a lawsuit. Getting money is not a real win. [1] No changes will be made. The dude who got murdered by police and caused a riot of criminals stealing and burning down buildings, not even that caused the police to change.

I should add a white person got killed the same way before that. No riots. No news. No screaming crying people in the streets demanding justice. No change then either. The family of that person didn't even get money from it.

First name basis with FBI employees and you didn't do your duty and publish all the information you have extracted from them including names and face pictures. What the hell?! FBI befriends you, that is just their way to get informants. The be your friend manipulation. They are trained to manipulate you. You fell for it hard!

I don't think you're getting it. It will not work. A fresh start is to delete the account and create a new new one.

None of my social media accounts can be used to identify me. Even when young and stupid I never used my real name on any account. If you're not educated and smart enough to realize what internet is and to protect yourself well then you really shouldn't be on internet. I can't fathom why people connect their social media accounts to their real identity. Is it some kind of ego/narcissism thing? I've never felt the need to make sure my real identity gets credit for doing good things like helping people going through stuff to being a developer member on open source projects.

It would be interesting if someone researched that need. Would be a good addition to OPSEC education.

Windows 10 is a complicated mess. It would indeed be impressive if someone managed to do this with Windows 10.

Compared to Linux Windows 10 is a malicious bloatware operating system designed to prevent you from removing the bloat and the user hostile stuff. Which is why I think it's not possible to do this with Windows 10.

Microsoft did an unfortunately great job at silencing Mark Russinovich by hiring him. I really miss these kind of posts from him. I enjoyed them very much. Including all those useful tools he made and stopped making when Microsoft hired him.

If you break the twitters infinitely vague rules 5 times your account will get banned permanently. So it is a big deal.

Anyone interested in testing the 5 times limit by using the Memphis?

On youtube you can have Thailand in the comment. If it do contain Thailand the comment will be auto-deleted. Thailand I can understand. Many people are homophobic and some made the mistake to take what looked like a woman home for some bed time and got upset when they realized they have made out with another man that whole time.

But Memphis, I don't have a clue why twitter dislikes that place. Can someone fill me in, please?

It's called "lock-in". First give users the service for free, then limit where they can use it and move some features to the subscription only area. When users have reached a certain amount of people. BOOM! Forced subscription or forced usage of a certain proprietary software (Chrome) to use the service. The same thing is happening to Windows 10.

Fun fact: Google is stealing your data if you use Chrome via many ways. Among them is a software called software_reporter_tool that scans your hard drive and other stuff.

Here's another example: You can find it here: chrome://settings/searchEngines?search=search This is the default search engine: "{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding}"

This is what google actually need to make a search: "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s"

Notice the difference? Google is abusing its position as usual.

People want sync to function since they have a google account but they don't want the privacy and security violations that come with using Chrome.

I'm hoping EU will step in soon. It's monopoly behavior to remove sync from Chromium. It's free after all so what is google butthurt about? Oh right, they can't track and collect user data since that's the first thing devs remove in their Chromium fork.

Google shot themselves in the foot by being corrupt. Claiming incognito protects you while the google analytics and google's other services can run around collecting your info without any issues. You don't give users a false sense of security. That's how your buildings catch fire, literally. Some do fantasize about doing it. Read enough forums to see that pattern emerging. I'd think that would be a humbling experience if a justified attack was executed on google buildings and server farms all around the planet. I would laugh my ass off from the karma google is getting alone from that. If coordinated correctly no lives will be lost either. Not promoting it, pointing out it's possible.

Companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft and facebook needs to be forced to split up. Section 230 is also overdue for a rewrite. The recent example is facebook just blocked news in Australia. Just like that.

The problem is that google refuse to fix bugs that allow fingerprinting. Those bugs can be years old!! This is why we need laws that force devs to fix privacy and security bugs or pay HUGE!!! fines. Hit them where it hurts. If each unfixed bug costs them 25% of the company's total worth per MONTH while it remains unfixed I bet they will fix them very fast. The dev tools window is still detectable by malicious javascript on sites. That stops and hides when the dev tools window is detected. I am certain google use that detection for their malicious behavior too. Why else drag their feet? They are hypocritical. First they are anal-retentive about security and on the other hand they ignore bugs for years.

Not to mention the double standard google have. Long ago they fixed chrome to detect auto-installed extensions when you installed other software and yet google is doing the same bloody thing themselves. Try it yourself on a fresh new profile and check the extension page and the extension folder. Extensions are auto installed without permission. Manually removing them doesn't work either. They will be reinstalled.

Edit: Speaking the truth will get you down voted. It's hilarious people down vote instead of coming with a counter argument. Perhaps they are so annoyed because they can't make a legitimate excuse for that nasty malicious behavior.
