Never said the proetestors aren’t biased. There’s no such thing as an unbiased perspective. I just wanted to make sure that you know that a police report should not be treated as a “factual” report (or copying one should not be counted as “journalism”, as a slight tangent).

My original point was this (you could have looked it up - it’s not gone):

The German state is incredibly repressive against solidarity for Palestine.

How does the fact that the police admit that they arrest protestors for chanting slogans that criticize Israel refute my point in any way?

You’re aware that the police is a biased participant in the conflict and you’re not really arguing against my point, right?

It’s a way to launder Germany’s reputation after the holocaust while also profiting from the settler-colonialist project of Israel.

Maybe because of what happened months ago with the kalifat stuff?

Nope, it’s because of the “Staatsräson”. Sudent protestors on German Unis most likely don’t want anything to do with the kalifate.

Let’s just agree that it’d be good for everyone, if the protesters managed (maybe, they already did, I don’t know) eliminating the islamists out of their groups.

🙄

But I’m not arguing for obvious islamists. I’m arguing that every Palestinian protest (even those on women’s march) are suspicious for the German state.

I’m pretty sure that the people “demanding a Kalifat” won’t be demonstrating on a women’s march. O.o

No one has mentioned solidarity for Hamas. You’re the one who brought it up.

If vanilla Wireguard is too complicated to set up for you: try tailscale.

If you don’t trust the central tailscale server: rent a vps and set up headscale on that.

You can probably find single examples of all of that above

Here’s an interview of a student about how the state tries to break the protests.

Exmatriculation might be quite rare. But the Staatsschutz telling the BAMF to revoke visas, based on Facebook posts most certainly is not. It’s just not the kind of things you’re gonna read in the SZ, or Welt.

This “stance of the state” thing is not law.

Yes, because the German constitutional court wouldn’t allow that kind of law. It is however a soft-power tool to shape political discourse in favour of Netanyahu.

There were for sure public discussions about denying citizenship for people who oppose democracy or the right of Israel to exist.

I findeyour faith in the organs of the state a bit naive.You can check out yourself how these decisions not to grant citizenship are carried out. If you ask me: most of the questions the judge uses to determine whether or not someone is “opposing democracy” wouldn’t get a correct answer from most Germans.

It’s not only happening on protests. People get exmatriculated or their visas revoked if they go to the wrong protest camp or post the wrong things on facebook. You can also get your citizenship denied if you have the wrong opinions on Iserael, since the IHRA is official stance of the state.

You’re underestimating how much freedom of speech is repressed in Germany when it comes to speech that critizises Israel.

As a state, it’s easier to support Israel than to actually take some fucking responsibility.

The German state is incredibly repressive against solidarity for Palestine.

Well, someone wasn’t at a protest today. /s

Also if you’d want to upscale it anyway, why not provide source material and allow customers to use any upscaler they want?

Because Upscaling is incredibly resource hungry. You can’t do it on a 250€ “smart” TV with the calculation equivalent of a raspberry pi 2.

And then, sunk cost fallacy goes brrrrr.

Sorry, homie. I’m not gonna keep arguing with you if you obviously can’t argue without moving the goal posts, if your life depends on it.

My point still stands: Encrypting metadata can be sensible/necessary for your threat model and does not count as security through obscurity. You have failed to explain how it would be and then started to attack me, personally.

Have fun misrepresenting this comment as well, bye.

Firstly, if the police confiscate your PC, they already know (and have proven to a judge) that you conduct illegal activity and likely already have enough to convict you of a crime. lol

Not if it’s for securing evidence. That is only collected before the verdict/conviction. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any need for a trial.

Also, your metadata can put others in jeopardy. If you’re busted for being an antifascist activist, who the police deems a “terrorist” and you’re also member of another activist group which up to then wasn’t in the sights of law enforcement, then you’re putting that other activist group’s members in danger.

Secondly, you can have an account at a private torrent tracker […]

That wasn’t my argument, though. You can criticise the circumstances that started my example premise, but the point still stands: having metadata that’s clearly visible can be dangerous, because it can give an attacker more information on you (depending on your threat model).

These are exceptionally poor arguments.

You’ve actually only attacked my examples, not my argument. My original point still stands: The type of accounts you have can be something you legitimately want/need to encrypt. Not only the credentials.
