Be careful looking up numbers online as well. There are lots of fake numbers and sites out there. Use previous known good communication as your guide for contacting the specific entity you are trying to contact. If at all possible. Also, smammers seem to have databases of scraped and leaked data so will often pull up your data based on your caller ID or other info you may disclose to them. Be careful out there.

My understanding is that should you disclose your credentials you would generally void any fraud protection the banks may offer.

As a fellow saffer, and a person who works with scam victims, I'm curious as to what services asked you to do that? Feel free to pm me.

Not die. But that's a tough ask as my current retirement plan is unaliving.

Spite. Pure spite. Here, have some cancer you ungrateful bastards.

Actually. I needed that. Thanks. Enough internet for me today.

If this thread (and others like it) have taught me aulnything is that facts be damned, people are opinionated either way. Nuance means nothing and it's basically impossible to have a proper discussion when it comes to wedge issues or anything that can be used to divide people. Even if every study 100% said Ai generated csam always led to a reduction in actual child harm and reduced recidivism and never needed any actual real children to be used as training material, the comments would still pretty much look the same. If the studies showed the exact opposite, the comments would also be the same. Welcome to the internet. I hope you brought aspirin.

There was an episode of "the boondocks" where that happened. https://youtu.be/3d200DatLtU?si=Uu2Jt-RlWOEo4juG .

OK, good point. Research yes. Somebody still needs to control and manage the things. That concerns me. I'm not imagining a medical /brain implant version of nasa. My problem is when politicians start imposing politics to the situation. I don't want the governments or private companies dicking around in my brain imposing fad or outrage of the day changes. Standards good, control, not so good.

So Google removes "don't be evil" as their motto. Is Israel still throwing around "never again"?
