:D thought it was cute when I first saw one on https://maia.crimew.gay/

This looks to be a followup of crimew's blog post [1]. It looks like the data set has been published [2]. The uncompressed list of users alone seems to come in at over 4GB of JSON. It's terrible how many people out there are using stalkerware, but with government officials themselves using this tech, I'm not sure if useful legal action will ever be taken.

Did you find this link at the bottom of the blog that leaked TSA no fly list? Because that’s how I found the same site today. https://maia.crimew.gay/

For reference, it/she [1] previously was named Tillie Kottman [2] and was indicted by the US in 2021 [3]. [1] https://maia.crimew.gay/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew [3] https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/swiss-hacker-indicted-conspiracy-…

I like Curtis work but I still find the whole theory kinda weak-sauce. Correct, the revolution can be repackaged and sold to you via hip marketing. So what? What's the counterfactual? If someone was an entirely superficial anti-system person and you retroactively deleted all shiny trinkets would they become the perfect freedom fighter? John Q. Left is just one step away from doing effective change because his water bottle has "Punch Fascists" sticker or his hobby is cosplay. Not the captured media landscape, the digital panopticon, the razing of public space or the destruction of most grassroots political organization in the workplace or education. They weren't exactly giving out stickers in Kent State. >Totally individualistic self-expression acts as a release valve for frustrations against the system. It attracts narcissists, who counteract any meaningful goals. In the good old times the release valve for frustrations against the system was getting shitfaced on the cheapest alcohol. Narcissistic power struggles also predate all this shit. >In the old world, when you got a tattoo or something it showed you were a member of a community of people who knew each other. A society of people who were organized and could precipitate some change. In the new world, you get a tattoo or something to signal you are a member of a demographic. Sailor tattoos are exactly the type stuff you are decrying. People precipitating change in the past didn't tattoo themselves like Bond…

Found this on the same blog. Wild read. Apparently they found a copy of the nofly list from 2019. https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/how-to-hack-an-airline/

Seems there is a blog post authored by the same person credited in the dump ("maia arson crimew") describing how the data was acquired here: https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/how-to-hack-an-airline/ ("how to completely own an airline in 3 easy steps and grab the TSA nofly list along the way") Discussed 10 days ago on HN (1024 points | 642 comments): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34446673
