What EDR solution does the USG use? AFAIK the biggest players in the market are all founded / developed by Israelis.

Probably Crowdstrike, if I had to guess.

Oh, trust me, it would be anything but quick. You would find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are digested by the full weight of the judicial process over a thousand years.

A number of years ago, the company I worked for was acquired by an Israeli firm. As it was the case of an American company being acquired by a foreign one, they went through the whole CFIUS process. When it became apparent that said company likely acquired mine because we at the time held a USG contract that had the travel records of a lot of DOD people, that poo poo got vetoed so quick and completely torpedoed the deal. Apparently it was the one acquisition that got barred that year.

I for one did not miss the random Israelis who just appeared around my office and had a habit of popping around asking people what they were working on.

Not sure how relevant this is for most people, but CloudFlare dropped and blocked KiwiFarms, finally. It's full of apologist bullshit ("This is an extraordinary decision for us to make and, given Cloudflare's role as an Internet infrastructure provider, a dangerous one that we are not comfortable with" :qq:), but, hey, good news is good news.

After 1/6 I don't think there's limits to what a sufficiently white chuddy person can get away with honestly. Now an internet leftist would get drone striked.

Part of it is because "the people we elect to govern us, whom we trust to make decisions in our best interests" is not the mindset a large amount of voters have, it's "government is bad, and so I will elect people who also think government is bad".

People are morons.

Disingenuous Democrats spread the false and defamatory rumor that there was a tanker truck full of water outside the governor’s mansion to provide Governor Reeves with the sustenance he requires.

It’s actually a tanker truck full of water outside the governor’s mansion to provide the bank with the sustenance that bankers require.
