Are you saying the person who sent the zendesk email is going to try to get IA to hire them for something? I'm not sure I follow...

No I think it's about "context creation" as they call it. Like a protetection racket where payment is made in dependence on certain tools, that is intended to be used later. Good way to popularize leaks themselves

Still not sure what you're talking about.. Is someone going to ask IA for payment related to the zendesk email?

I said it was about fostering dependence on the cybersecurity community. To what end, I do not kniw. But getting people to cloudflare their sites is great for surveillance. Cybersecurity outlets are intensely political and pro west.

Private security contractors have noted that leftists use the internet archive more than anyone. I have been reading their papers about online extremism. Very bad people

I'm a vague motherfucker and sometimes I just get the feeling if I try to explain my three-quarters baked understanding of how intelligence works in academia and the tech or culture industry in an overtly benign way, I'm going to be tedious due to my lack of expert knowledge ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ like I should learn more first, to avoid being tedious
