Mine's having the lazy arse syndrome of using it to sign in to Tailscale and having other friends/family using their SSO from the Big G to simplify them signing into my Tailnet.
Guilty as charged?
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to us (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greedy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww
It does when you're sharing nationally classified information with what is a third party, not sanctioned by the administration itself?
The headquarters are irrelevant.
Is it?
Is that why people trying to protect their privacy use VPN's/DNS resolvers outside of the US jurisdiction such as Mullvad/Quad9 etc?
And as stated by someone else if you're using a personal device with a phone number to share classified information outside of a SCIF, you've got to ask yourself if there's a modicum of "sensibility" in the administration here.
It's like someone else said - I went back and dug a little on old.reddit (RIP r/America) and there's for some reason its "not being shared" and actually, neutered?
Maybe I'm just a sucker for popcorn but it smells like it shit, it usually is 💩
It is absolutely insane, considering they have SCIF devices / rooms but also the option of "not using off the shelf" shit like Signal and using a phone number. But here they are.
Hell, they could even use something like Briar / Matrix / whatever that is decentralised/does not require a phone number unlike Signal but instead they sent emotes, and classified information detrimental to US citizens over a centralised (third party) platform. Literally, insane.
Are we missing an /s here? Signal is headquartered in the US, and here's me pondering if they were actually using Telegram instead. Which would've been pretty apt.
I think at this point I'd be better off trying to use WeChat.....

For a bit of clarity some are not seeing. Google, sanctioned too. Crazy times.
To be fair, it's running at the top of BBC news here in the UK this morning which is kinda weird. They usually dunk stuff like this unless they too have some angle on it.
You're gonna be on an aeroplane for a month?
e: tongue in cheek and all aren't SD cards are a thing these days? You've got the obvious network solutions but if you're off the grid?
Why bother?
Pray tell, how do you "pirate" a SSO service as you alluded to above?
No one asked for alternatives. We're more interested in how you're gonna "pirate" these things. Cheers!
Exactly, you tell me since I'm just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.
Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you'd be operating on a brand new platform with no users.
Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?
But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you've mentioned and I can't see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse....works.
Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you're requesting outright allow you to block DM's. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.
I had another yesterday

that didn't show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could've been CSAM 🤬
