The sweeping directive, signed Thursday, covers a range of topics including securing federal communications networks against foreign snoops, issuing tougher sanctions for ransomware gangs, requiring software providers to develop more secure products, and using AI to boost America’s cyber defense capabilities, among others.

      Yes, I’m sure random commentors on the internet know better than the NSA what an appropriate use of AI is when it comes to cyber security…

    Oh hey, it’s literally requiring the government agencies to do the exact same thing we have been doing in the corporate space these past several years.

      Sounds like less than that. I read it as self-attestation for the most basic processes.

      I was thinking to myself “so they just have to keep doing what they’re doing” but my second thought was more in line with your comment.

      You have freedom of speech where the government can give it to you, stop expecting freedom of speech on platforms owned by private interests, that’s not how freedom of speech works.

        The elephant in the room with statements like this is that many communication enabling technologies are more akin to utilities. Where that line is and how close to utilities they are is debatable (do we include things like Twitter? Or just low level stuff like email. Are they utilities or merely similar to them?). Especially when you consider their necessity to operate in modern society and impossibility to rebuild yourself from scratch.

        I get your point. I’m not trying to suggest corporations should be forced to allow 100% actually true free speech on their platforms.

        Buy your free speech, just 16$ per month! No being mean to Elon allowed!

        Even the nazi had free speech if you keep it in your.

        What a farcical and useless understanding of “free speech” you have.

      Freedom and privacy were cancelled with Citizens United. I suggest you take up your concerns with the corporate dictatorship who doesn’t give a shit.
