Deflock hits 100k ALPRs Mapped in USA

Since military service is mandatory in Israel, it means that basically any Israeli (with the exception of Hasidic Jews), male or female, is, not by choice, ex-IDF. It isn't a signal of their choices, or willing participation, just of where they were born.

If you don't know this, now you do. If you knew this already...

That's not my problem. Why wasn't he fired after the vulnerability was revealed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1-uiUlHTo

Does IDF service mean their position is immune to valid criticism of the job?

How do we know as Americans that it's secure when the individual who is senior and leading connectivity has likely served a foreign intelligence agency/millitary?

Is this not alarming as videos weren't encrypted and public?

Seems like a good reason to not hire Israelis. Maligned unamerican interests shouldn't sit in the top ranks of surveillance tech.

So I guess for you the same rules would be for Swiss, Danish, Brazilian, Greek and many others that also have mandatory military service?

I'd put Israel in the same category as Russia and China. Swiss aren't opposed to American values, and certainly don't have their hands in Epstein Island blackmail American system attacks.

Yes but that is the country, not the individual that didn't choose to be born there and also didn't choose to do military service there.

Nope. It's particularly Israel that's a problem. They mismanaged their security apparatus on October 7th, if they can't defend their own, why should they be part of our security apparatus?

I guess you missed the part where people don't get to choose where they were born, and in the case that where they were born has mandatory military service, whether they are part of that.

This is the same stereotyping that leads to the worst kinds of racism.

I don't believe people who have served in foreign intelligence agencies should be given keys to the entire US video apparatus.

Doesn't matter which country. This is opsec 101. Nothing crazy here.

Go read section 889 of the John McCain act. etc...

Considering that the government legally cannot manage this, it sounds like you are advocating for this whole camera network to be dismantled due to the danger of how it might be used in the wrong hands? That's also a valid take.

It is their choice.

If they had any spine they'd kill themselves, instead they comply and engage with the IDF and its war crimes.

If anything, this should mean to avoid corruption and engaging with war criminals, we should bar all Israelis from US roles.

Same should apply to any ex-Russian military, any foreign ex-intelligence too. This isn't a harsh take.

Please never type something like this again.

This is a harsh take. And why foreign? Should NSA employees kill themselves too? American soldiers? What a wild take.

NSA employees need to grow a spine too.

I'm sick of people coping they are helping "protect" America when their goals are to simply surveil domestically and internationally. Most of these tools and systems are designed to keep us pigs in line and restrict freedom and protect the top 1% of the 1%. Edward Snowden showed us the real NSA. Epstein files showed what really happens in the upper echelons of "society".

There is also thousands of people who receive paychecks from the US/RU/CN/etc governments for developing weapons and software designed to kill people. I don't know how they sleep at night.
