Not "antifa", anti-fascists. They're just admitting it now.

    I also like how the Islamic terrorists are "legacy" as if there's nothing going on right now that could be generating a whole new generation of Anti-American terrorists. It's only some old guys who still hate us for our 2000's freedom.

    What is this from? This sounds like it is written by AI and not even proofread.

    I swear this whole administration is vibe-coded.

    "including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists"...so straight up admitting that they are the target of anti-fascist groups. Aaaaaand what does that make them? Could it be....fascist? </churchlady>

    Does anyone know if these left-wing extremists, anarchists, and anti-fascists are accepting applicants? How are the health plans?

    I am starting to seriously wonder if this instance is safe to use, even though I am very careful to always use Tor.

    If it makes you feel any better, AI is great at pattern recognition and will be able to cross-link &/or deanonymize any user that has posted even a relatively small amount of text.

    Humans have a very limited and specific vocabulary (stylometry) even without regionalisms. Just don't believe anything you say online will stay anonymous, because it won't... Unless you use a local AI to process everything you write with a different persona (e.g. pirate, yarr).

    I'd be interested in this, do you have sources (also ideally to test this myself)?

    Here's a general primer https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/introduction-to-stylometry-with-python

    It's ultimately just statistics, and AI is far better than humans at finding patterns in massive data sets. They are perfectly suited to stylometry. The more text they have of a given user, the higher the probability of cross-referencing against identified users (Facebook, Twitter, etc).

    Even if you never post publicly, the problem is western governments have been engaging in dragnet mass surveillance for decades, which means the US gov — probably many govs, especially your own — almost certainly have every text message, email, etc you've ever written; all are transmitted unencrypted. This means the US, and likely your own gov, have the highest probability of deanon-ing you. They also have the highest budgets ace access to perform such a task.

    Again, it's only a matter of time until 99% of "anonymous" accounts, above a certain word count, are cross-referenced; likely only a few thousand words. I suspect they could already do 99% of accounts above 10 or 20k words.

    I doubt they would use that to deanonimize random people

    Then you don't understand how mentally ill and authoritarian the surveillance state, or fascists, are...

    They already have dragnet data capture going back decades. Hundreds of billions spent on data centers. The process can be entirely automated, and will be, soon if not already.
