This isn’t the first time this group has done something like this and they seem to have been pretty consistent in their messaging.

The hacktivist group SN_BLACKMETA has claimed responsibility and cites US support of Israel as the motivation.

I just went to look for the catcalling article you mentioned (it’s this one) and she is obviously not “complaining” about not getting catcalled. Instead, she’s talking about how her ageing affects her sense of self-worth. Her getting catcalled less often is only the impetus of this reflection, not the actual source of her negative feelings.

The argument isn’t that they’re “evil”, it’s that they could be used as tools by strategic rivals.

Nvidia is already profitable and has been for over a decade.

Is there literally any evidence that the US government managed to extract useful information from no-log vpn providers in the US?

Most people barely know about it nor do they care.

That’s not the case, quantum computing can only break specific types of cryptography.

So why are you claiming that when people use elliptic curve cryptography, it has a backdoor? This is not true.

Again with the fearmongering, do you not read your own source? Dual_EC_DRBG hasn’t been used for over a decade now

On April 21, 2014, NIST withdrew Dual_EC_DRBG from its draft guidance on random number generators recommending "current users of Dual_EC_DRBG transition to one of the three remaining approved algorithms as quickly as possible.

Every time you use AES you are using NIST encryption

This has been well known for years. Just because it’s news to you doesn’t mean it’s a conspiracy.
