No protocol is illegal in and of itself. BitTorrent wasn’t created solely to aid in piracy. Most Linux distros have their OS seeded. Same goes for lots of the internet archive. I used to transfer work files all the time using it.
I was under the impression that even just letters (no case) would take a lifetimes to brute force if you exceeded 15 characters. And that drops to just 11 if you mix cases, numbers and special characters.
I really wish government would crack down on this. Every regulatory entity should be on this because it’s nearly impossible to actually get your data deleted. Let alone even send a request without hurdle or hassle.
And everyone is like ya no this is all fine privacy buy iPhone… *flips water bottle
The entire “pOePle wIlL CAncEl if itS Ez tho” mentality is the same as “if you don’t keep people in the office at their desk and monitor them, they won’t get work done.”
All it did was force others to adopt the same practice and now no one can’t get out of anything smoothly. Maybe 1 out of 10 as a delete button. And even then, that’s just account deletion on the front end. Nothing about all the data they have stored.
At this point people should be posting things that HAVENT seen a price hike. Because if there are companies out there not jacking up their rates, they deserve a standing O.
