  • I strongly believe a lot of the reporting is hyperbole.

    If you’re going to run an offshore call center for spam, and domestic carriers are locking you out, this is how you’d get around it.

    Those texts you get “Hey remember that movie on Thursday?” to bait you into a convo?

    Those calls from the IRS telling you to send $2500 in Walmart gift cards?

    Those can all come from these en mass.

    And the best spot to put them is in ultra dense areas where millions of people live to fly under the radar.

    They can have thousands and thousands of SIMs, rotate IMEIs, those can as far as I’m aware bridge physical devices from anywhere and make them appear as though they’re here.

    Think fake reviews, fake social media, social media bots, scam call center operations, etc.

    Could they overload a region? Sure, just like a football game, or major event when everyone calls at once.

    That’s not why you’d have all those sims though.












  • Yeah, that’s literally not how any of this constitutional stuff works.

    Free speech is your right to say what you think without the government censoring you. But it has limits and common misunderstandings:

    It’s not a “free-for-all.” You can’t yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater just to cause a panic. You can’t tell lies about someone to ruin their reputation (that’s called defamation).

    It doesn’t apply to private companies. Your boss can fire you for saying something they don’t like. Twitter (X) can ban you from their platform. A restaurant can kick you out for being rude. These are private entities with their own rules, not the government.

    Analogy: The First Amendment means the police can’t arrest you for wearing a shirt that says “The Mayor is a cunt.” However, your boss at a private company can still fire you for wearing that same shirt to work if they think it’s unprofessional.

    See shit posts like this are why I’m in favor of dismantling the department of education, if it produces such ignorant outcomes, it creates more harm than good.

    At least if you were an uneducated hick from some Boondock wastewater town, I could have a shred of understanding for not having had the opportunity to pay attention in 3rd grade social studies.

    Fucking red hat wearing so called constitutionalists who literally don’t know what it fucking says.
