skim milk burn!
The Hill reports:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday said Democrats who support impeaching President Trump should “buy a spine” and do it. But he also said they’d regret it, pointing to polls that show a minority of voters back impeachment.
“Impeachment polls right up there with skim milk with the American people. But my advice to my Democratic friends is, if you want to do it, go hard or go home,” Kennedy said CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “Go to Amazon, buy a spine. If you’re not going to do it, let us get back to work.”

I read that as Visa credit card. There is almost no way they can do a timely search for your social media unless you just suck at using the internet and have everything on full display. They are hoping you will give it all to them voluntarily.

having talked to people who use a bunch of different data sources to aggregate potential customer data, I really assume anyone with enough money to buy bulk data can throw this stuff together
I guess if you've used a different account on a different device that doesn't use wifi, isn't paid for by any account linked to your name, doesn't have gps, has never logged into any website whatsoever other than that account, and uhhh maybe has never opened a web browser to go to anything other than the one site, you may be in the clear

I had to work with Palantir once who was trying to gain access to a bunch of our databases of which I was one of the owners. They just wanted a datadump per the wishes of our company but there was absolutely no rationale about why they needed it or what they would use it for. We refused and eventually, eventually they were like "oh, we don't need it." It was kind of absurd.

im pretty fatalistic about any real chances for individual data security too fwiw (almost nothing). and mh is right, bad models and actors do dominate that space.
maybe every space. in this world of “greater fools” (in a nonstandard, nonecon sense), and of trumpy zero-sum transactionalism, maybe the biggest surprise to me is that no non-state bad actors have acquired some reaaaally crazy shit and pulled a ransom extortion using explosive nukes. or like, just used nukes.
*consults DM Guide* the world feels like it’s gone from lawful evil to chaotic evil. or it could be just i’m really aging out, and realizing the world is always chaotic evil, and that my assumption of post ww2 lawfulness, as limited as it was, was even more a fallacy than i suspected.

otmfm. it has a barely plausible connection to counter-terrorism to use as a cover story, but it will only be used as a handy stick to beat anyone they don't like and want to deport, similar to using loitering or vagrancy laws to beat up on homeless people.
