Does this work on applications with SSL pinning?


No, it doesn't unfortunately. In a professional testing world, we'd normally just ask clients nicely to disable that for our testing. If you're testing something where you don't have a relationship with the developers, then Frida is my go-to tool to get around that. Although once you've disabled SSL pinning, you can use Pākiki to intercept the traffic itself.


I dont have any good advice, but wanted to say hang in there buddy. Its gonna get better. You wrote that you're usually the one supporting your friends. Maybe its time you asked for help from them. It may not be easy but you will be surprised how caring friends can be.


Good advice wrt friends, but:

> Its gonna get better.

My partner got a lot of this as she was dying of cancer. It did not get better, and this kind of "optimism" helped no one, just the opposite.


such individual court decisions are usually a precursor to what will be implemented EU-wide


The other way around: the GDPR was the precursor to this lawsuit, this is the implementation of the directive by a local court which found that, indeed, using GA violates the GDPR.


No, just keep the trash for yourself

this is actually good for bitcoin. just proves that no powerful government can touch money stored in bitcoin. Finally an alternative to digging gold bars in the woods :)


I am not German, but in North America, a Judge can rule you in contempt of court and held in custody until you comply with the terms of the judical order. There is no "oh, you ran out the clock, ok off you go you scamp!".


Yes, but they do tend to avoid doing so if you’ve, for instance, plausibly lost the ability to do what the order demands you do - like forgotten the password or lost the keys, and there is no evidence you have backups.

Additionally, ‘knowledge’ such as a password has been pretty consistently ruled as protected by the 5th amendment and in theory someone couldn’t be held in contempt for refusing to divulge it here in the US. However, if someone is already convicted or seizure of something is blocked by that knowledge (that may also be incriminating if someone has it?), that is less tested and probably not protected.

Even if you haven’t, it is very, very rare (and usually requires high profile political pressure) for being held over contempt to happen for very long.


> it is very, very rare (and usually requires high profile political pressure) for being held over contempt to happen for very long.

I think it will be a lot less rare if digital currencies become a bigger thorn in a government's side.


It depends on how plausible/likely it was you actually have control or how much of an example they wanted to make I imagine.

Here is a story about such a case, but not crypto related - 17 years! [https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/2020/story%3...]


60 million in bitcoin is pretty worthless to a man stuck in a concrete box.....


"Hey ma, if I'm locked up I need you to give this pass phrase to my lawyer - he'll know what to do".

Lots of multi-sig schemes you could invent to make your funds accessible.


A lawyer would lose his license if he were complicit in money laundering.


And then he'll get a job at Deutsche Bank. Point is the 60M could be liquid if needed to be.


when such unjust is done to the mass, this may just spill over to violence. If I were RH/Melvin/Citadel, I'd watch over my shoulders.

SEC needs to intervene quick


this is wrong. I dislike Trump and his 4 years but this is wrong.


Elaborate.

1A says the government can't make a law abridging speech.

It doesn't say Twitter can't refuse to make posts submitted by X available to everyone who accesses their systems via the Internet.

I can see where if many people depend on a company, some need to prevent arbitrary cutoffs of service is needed if the service is needed for life--such as heating, food, ER service, etc. Twitter is not needed for basic survival.


the people on these communities creates their alternative reality. selectively avoid news/information that can burst their bubble. its the same with /r/politics. both living in massive bubbles with complete opposite realities.

the difference is that r/the_donald is more violent. They cordinate gatherings, "attacks", a violent protests.

r/politics which is liberal bubble is more peaceful but both these communites censor opposing views and is dangerous to democracy


I wonder if this weakens their "security" argument in the appstore walled garden case.


It seems like a fairly slam dunk argument that at very least they can't be trusted to do it of their own accord.
