Why do headlines phrase "can be given access to" as "has access" when they *know* there's a lot anxiety about both AI and third-party access to personal data?

«DarkSword: iOS-Exploit-Kit von Staatshackern und Spyware-Anbietern aktiv genutzt»
Ich bin immer noch erstaunt, dass viele glauben, das Apple Produkte wie iOS sicherer sei als der Rest und sie ja nichts zu verbergen haben. Jegliche digitale Tools können Schwachpunkte wie Fehler haben und dies werden bewusst gegen die User*innen eingesetzt.

this prompted me to see what https://anagramgenius.com might do, but sadly its anagram server is broken
iirc anagram genius originally came out in about 1990 … i never got a copy because it was a bit expensive for a toy and i wouldn’t have been able to learn from its unobtanium source code
anyway TIL the…

I'm with Kathy Sierra on this—just always think about "how does this make the user be able to kick more ass?"
If you can't come up with an answer it probably doesn't.

There are a lot of takeaways from this:
1. Organizing locally gives you a massive advantage because you will always know your local area better than ICE ever can.
2. Be agile. You can always change tactics faster than a centralized organization.
3. Organize now. The sooner you build your networks, the sooner you can learn.
4. Identify ICE facilities and organize monitoring them directly.
But I think the most interesting one that's not explicitly in there, one that's hinted at the last one, is to go on the offensive. ICE is already afraid. If we all take the anger we have at the murder of #ReneGood, find the local ICE facility that they'll stage from, and bring that anger to #OccupyICE we might be able to just shut the whole thing down preemptively. Completely stop all ICE operations across the US. If they want to fight, they can fight *with everyone, all at once.*
Shut down their ability to operate at all. They have a logistics pipeline. They need cars, they need oil in those cars, they need to be able to move those cars to target areas. They also need money to pay those agents. All of those can be disrupted.
The regime needs your money and labor to maintain the illusion of legitimacy. They chose a bad time because you can hit both of those at once *right now* with a combination of #GeneralStrike and #TaxStrike, and then #BoycottEverything.
The regime is weaker than it's ever been. It's flailing. Their own base is demanding the release of the #EpsteinFiles. Their last gasp attempt to prevent the radical change that's coming is just to ethnically cleanse the US back to the 50's (which is what they always meant by "Make America Great Again"). Trump will do anything to stay in power, even if it means killing everyone on Earth in the process. But Americans can end it now by going on the offensive.
Now is the time.
