That emoji captures how I feel toward anyone who still has a Facebook account.
Facebook got its angel investment from a front company for the NSA, and the NSA cancelled a project to figure out how to do mass domestic surveillance literally 24 hours prior.
Yeah ima go ahead and slap a
all over that until a cite is provided
His citation is just a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi saying of course he's got a source.
Apologies, it was DARPA program, and the funding came from the CIA, to Peter Thiel, to Facebook. Got my alphabet soup a bit mixed up.

I assumed this story was common knowledge?
Guess not.
Anyway yeah, when part of your job includes managing cybersecurity policies for a medium sized organization, its behooves oneself to do some research into the most well known data thieves in the world, the US Government.
Ah I see, the author who you were unaware of until now is a 'known idiot', so you are not interested in reading then citation I provided.
Welp, cant argue with that!
Source please
It's from a parody news website:
-The actual article-
So sadly not real, but I still thought it represented Facebook-folk quite well. 😅
What brand of foil do you use for your hats? I find Reynolds to be too expensive but anything else I just don't feel like does a good job blocking the beta waves
What big brother doesn't want you to know:
Any brand as long as it has nonstick coating.
Ms. Krabaple, I ate my foil...
I prefer my tinfoil hats in cast iron
I only use the tinfoil in my wallet.
I remember everyone calling me crazy in the early 2010's for pointing out that the new smart chips in credit cards could be read by various electronic devices, and that this could be blocked by basically lining your wallet with tinfoil.
Nowadays of course you can just buy wallets with it neatly built in.
You can also line a backpack or laptop bag with tinfoil on the inside to do shoplifting, as long as they have the older style scanning towers.

So a crime perpetrated by highly technically competent attackers, that can be done and hidden easily by such highly competent attackers, has never been proved to have happened, even though this very article outlines that it is very doable...
Do you think this means I am somehow incorrect in stating that this is a thing that can happen? An article that explains that it can happen?
Or do you think it 'proves' that it doesnt make sense to worry about, or take steps to mitigate?
I got the RFID mitigating wallet I have for 10 dollars. Its a great wallet, easily worth 10 dollars whether or not it has RFID protection.
It's a non-existent crime. You do you, man.
I mean, I know how to do it and get away with it, but I dont because I am a decent person.
I'm sure you do, bud.
