This whole site is gonna get taken down lol
How can they do that though? USA wide ban? It'll work elsewhere though?
Pretty sure teh FBI can just steal it whenever they want.
snowden leaked it and another few subsequent leaks confirmed it (these include their literal cyberweapons one time there).
so yeah, the us has pretty much full access to everything thats online.
More or less
Remember back in like 2016 when everyone was getting hacked by that NotPetya ransomware? That was because some extremely nasty exploits for Windows the NSA had been hoarding got out and people started using them because they were so reliable and devastating, like "take over any Windows system anywhere as long as you have network access to it" devastating
They have to be careful about it though, so no one figures out what they are and patches them
They definitely have more, probably a lot more
Specifically, the Snowden thing they were talking about was probably when Snowden leaked a literal catalog of cyberweapons US security state ghouls could order and use lmao
