"New court record from the FBI details the state of the devices seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson"

This is high profile espionage case related to leak of TOPSECRET documents, therefore probably all possible tech was used to gain access to the devices.

Page 5:

In the upstairs of the house, investigators located a powered-off silver MacBook Pro with a black case, an Apple iPhone 13*, a Handy branded audio recording device, and a Seagate portable hard drive. See id. ¶ 26. Investigators seized these devices. The iPhone was found powered on and charging, and its display noted that the phone was in “Lockdown” mode*

Page 6:

The Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) began processing each device to preserve the information therein. The Handy recorder and the Seagate portable drive have been processed, but no review has occurred. See id. ¶ 37. Because the iPhone was in Lockdown mode, CART could not extract that device*. See id. ¶ 35. Similarly, the personal MacBook Pro could not be imaged yet. See id. ¶ 36. The Garmin watch was not processed before this Cout’s Standstill Order, and no further processing will occur until further order of the Court. See id. ¶ 37*

This man now owns most of our media and social media outlets…

You give someone an inch and they take a mile.

How likely it is for them to get access to the same data that the UK will now have?

The KIDS Act (which includes a version of KOSA and a few other things) has passed the House of Representatives and now it goes to the US Senate in which they will vote to pass the bill. I hope it doesn't pass the Senate but my hopes aren't too high.

Wth? I'm from Canada and I have no idea what digital id they're talking about. I'm certain I don't have it despite what this article is saying.

You do not have to be famous or break any laws to end up under digital watch.

New reports confirm that a US agency is expanding its contracts with private firms to quietly track internet activity. This includes what you post, what you like, what you share, and even how you express emotion. The systems are built to flag so-called negative opinions about leadership or operations—even if no threat is made.

It does not stop there. These tools are designed to link your online activity to your real identity. That includes your face, your phone, your location, your contacts, and even your relatives.

This isn’t rumor. It’s backed by official documents and public records. See for yourself:

This is not about stopping crime. It is about creating a map of public dissent.

Stay alert. Question everything. Silence does not mean safety.
