And we are talking confidently about a technology implemented nearly two decades ago.<br>Imagine the technology implemented right now, with all the improvements/corrections and the usage of ai.

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDsD4REFdU&t=25">0:25</a> Guy said, "Hacking into systems lawfully can only be done by the government." I beg to differ.. The government is NOT the only game in town.

Interesting stuff, the first time I heard of the Der Spiegel paper was when one of my heroes suspiciously died in his car almost 5 years ago. RIP Jacob, you've inspired so many and your legacy will continue forever. If you were here today and could see the advancements in technology it would blow your mind. Rest in Valhalla.

I imagine nearly every major power has some sort of agency with extreme hacking capabilities. At least to a certain extent. We’re long past the days where things will be anonymous or private
