This is the company since the title isn't calling them out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandvine

They also we're used by Comcast to mess with anyone using Peer2Peer networking. I wonder if all the companies like Palentir, ClearView, and these guys all get together on weekends and decide how to strip away any ethics from computing as a discipline

They don't get together on weekends, they chat on hacker news. we call it "adding value to the world"

Last week, I said there's a 100% chance there's a US (or western) company behind the recent internet outage in Belarus and was downvoted to oblivion.

I also stated that there's a very high chance of this happening in the United States in 70 days and was again downvoted.

Maybe 3rd time's the charm?

What does that have to do with this thread/headline? "Technology made by X" doesn't seem to equate to "X is behind..."

Why would this occur in the us? The cia already had control over the media.

There's a lot of people who are most likely going to prison if they lose come November. I'd definitely try it if I was in their position.

Nobody is going to jail come on. Maybe a fall guy here or there but since when have wealthy people gone to jail in the us? Maybe early 90s after savings and loan crisis and even then not that many

Remains to be seen. I don't think any single person has made so many people in the US this angry in the last 100 years or so (with the exception of Hitler or Bin Laden).

Weird seeing Sandvine declared a "U.S. Firm", as a Waterloo resident

I bet they also use Linux.

Apparently it's FreeBSD; the evilest of operating systems
