Agree, better to post this on a crypto platform. People who work in the crypto space seem to find more value in communities outside HN.

I'm not working in the crypto space but know others who are. Like any quickly developing industry, crypto is changing quickly. That means you can get in on the cutting edge, and stay with it as it becomes mainstream. The Ethfinance Dai

A related question is why did they wait to cancel it until today? Announcing end-to-end encryption the same day suggests this program was blocking end-to-end encryption from moving forward, too.

Not scanning for CSAM on your own servers isn't a realistic expectation. What makes it not a realistic expectation? According to other references, the USA cannot compel companies to run scans on their own customers.

Yes! The Creating Sustainable American Mployment (CSAM) Act will create thousands of new jobs too.

Do you have a source for the "not constitutional" bit? I referenced it in a post below and was looking for a source.

" If Apple has a legal obligation to ensure that iCloud does not store CSAM/etc" My understanding is in the USA companies like Apple cannot be legally obligated to ensure that iCloud does not store CSAM. Something about the

Fixed: Your apartment complex decides they don’t want to be party to anything illegal. Just in case, they set up a police precinct in the lobby. They set up hidden cameras in the lobby, the hallway leading to your apartment, and the balcony

you can also take the opposite meaning from this signal. I haven't posted in 75 days, but a thread about ebay screwing people over was enough to get me to login.

As a long time user, it sounds like you would be greatly impacted by such a ban. Watch out! If you at all depend on eBay for your livelyhood, have a backup plan or parallel path. eBay is shit.

I've also been permabanned from eBay. Buyer for 10+ years, occasional seller. Went to sell something alongside lots of listings for the same thing. Permabanned my account and my parent's accounts as I had logged in from their hous

Anti-crypto HN is real! I still have not found the HN-like community that gets cryptocurrencies. Maybe it's just being created today. People say Twitter but it's still pretty meme oriented. /r/ethfinance is ok but not en

Seems like a valid next step, hold leaky honeypots accountable. Anyone holding onto user data these days should be nervous.

At what point do platforms like GiveSendGo anonymize payments for real? (realize this is potentially a leading question about cryptocurrency mixers, but maybe there's a way to implement this with regular currencies) I'm all for tr
