yeah, and? What are they going to do? Send the DEA after you for growing GMO titties? Gonna hit you with the ATF because you grew hormonally altered facial hair?

They've got shit like fentanyl to be worrying about. I think this is probably the least of concerns, especially considering this is less "drug addiction" and more "illegal prescription drugs" instead. Besides, they don't get drug money from trans people.

It's certainly a potential risk for procurement of the drug legally. But that's already a problem.

that's certainly a possibility. It's likely to be a significant part of it, that's for sure.

im not sure to which scale this is true, but TOR specifically is highly centralized, and by design I2P is extremely decentralized, with most nodes running network routing of other nodes. Not that it's impossible to do, it's just a lot harder, and not nearly as valuable.

A lot of the ways in which people are got over shit like TOR is just skill issuing. Don't run a drug empire on the darknet and you'll probably be fine. If you do run a drug empire on the darknet, you better be damn fucking good at opsec, and pretty fucking good at laundering money. And even then you'll probably still end up fucking it up.

there can be clear net proxies iirc, which are essentially exit nodes, but they aren't recommended for fairly obvious reasons.

I would argue there that there’s a limit to how much better eyesight would affect things like that though, falling over and dying

that specific example was a little bit hyperbolic, but i think there is likely a general improvement with the ability to sight vision and small discrepancies in things.

Also you're talking about visual clarity, this is specifically about being able to detect motion better.

as for why this matters for shit like not falling over and dying? Well cool little story, sometimes humans like to move around. Things around us move in relation to ourselves, so it could be expected to see some benefit in that regard as well.

yeah if ur just a dude pirating, it probably doesn't matter, but if they find you've done a large crime, you can bet your ass that shits getting yoinked from you.

companies might, but that's almost entirely through legal processes. ceast and desists, required reporting, etc...

Also private trackers in my country do not allow the use of VPN (why do they care IDK, they say it is to have more control on who join), so there’s little point on getting a VPN for piracy here.

it's probably for IP banning or something. Whitelist authorization, something silly like that.

it's all encrypted, and a darknet, so unless you're routing through exit nodes, or you host an exit node, that information isn't publicly accessible.

the other problem here is the "illegal contents" problem, if UPS accidentally ships a human head in the mail, is that the fault of the UPS? If someone mails a bomb to someone else, is that also the fault of UPS?

Ultimately, there is little to no reasoning as to why you should be capable of getting into trouble, unless you're storing it, and it's a very very strict law. But it's a router, so it shouldn't be storing anything.

the US has so much geopolitical reach that companies in canada or elsewhere would just hand over the question if it was high enough profile.

nothing because it's fucking hormones. It's not meth.

in order to prosecute, “they” have to prove you’re a pirate and show how they know

would they compromise their backDoor to go after a tiny pirate?

this information isn't likely to be public after the fact.

thats just VC funding at it's finest, there's nothing of note there, they did the same with data, they're doing the same with AI now. They'll continue to do it into the future as well.

Google has also just been getting worse over the years. There is no reason to single out the AI feature, all of google is terrible now.
