I'm not sure it's creditable that enough credence is being given to these anonymous claims in a private group to be impacting this person's life. Seems more akin to a slapp.

Money is often a compelling argument.

Of course, the VPN could be the one doing the hijacking.

E2EE and open source: the two things people assume automatically makes things super-crazy-secure.

The implementation of E2EE must be robust and there must be somebody who is actually checking the source code (plus verifiable builds)

People who wish to mask their crimes have a greater incentive to use E2EE so will probably gravitate towards platforms that offer it. I would therefore suggest those not committing crimes are disproportionately affected by E2EE not being made the default where possible. Once one service in a particular category offers E2EE, the benefits of the other services in that category not offering it is significantly reduced.

www.example.com and example.com don't necessarily resolve to the same place.

On second thoughts, using a sub domain would make way more sense.

Hey, this looks great.

One thing you might want to consider is having one domain for a website about collectednotes (collectednotes.com) and another for hosting user's blogs (collectednotes.blog for example) because it is currently not clear what urls are official and made by you and which are just blogs made by anyone.

For example, https://collectednotes.com/accounts/ is genuine and made by you whilst https://collectednotes.com/account/ is a blog I just created. To me there seems a very real risk of users being mislead.

Is the extent of the 'unlimited' important? Lending a single book more than they own is an impossibility if they are respecting IP - no different to a physical library photocopying entire books so they can lend more.

Oh let me see, perhaps it has something to do with China being a one-party state with a ripe history of human rights atrocities and pervasive censorship.

Just look at SARS for an example of where trusting the official information from China made for a terrible idea.

That may well be, but the predominant concern is larger droplets from a cough or sneeze. I don't recall seeing anything speaking of airborne transmission.

Those are really dangerous and easy to do wrong.

it sounds like he was doing it wrong.

How?

UK will become a colony of US

What? No.

I'd say you were a lucky one. Persuading my contacts to move and explaining my rationale has been a long, arduous and still not quite complete process. People seem to struggle with envisaging how a lack of privacy will harm them personally.

You're more optimistic than I. Hard to overthrow the industry that specialises in manipulation.
