The headline: UK Drug Dealer Feeling Bleu After Cheese Photo Leads To Arrest

The article: Police cracked encryption on a privacy-focused phone service provider and ran fingerprint analysis on photos posted by users.

Like I get that law enforcement does things like this, that’s literally what it exists for, I’m just really upset by the cutesy framing.

Also. Like. Don’t organize shit online or over the phone. Law enforcement has been pressuring tech companies to put backdoors into encrypted services for years, this whole crackdown happened because of a device-level attack, and you never know who’s listening.

And yeah. If you’re setting up an anonymous ID online for any reason do not, under any circumstances, post or share any identifying information under that ID or with devices associated with that account.

Just don’t break the law.

“Just don’t break the law.”

“just don’t break the law”

[ID: image in OP shows three news headlines: one from the New York Post titled “UK drug dealer’s cheese photo leads to his arrest”; one from Huffpost titled “Cheese photo leads to arrest of ‘big cheese’ drug dealer in Liverpool”; and one from NBC News titled “Drug deal identified by cheese photo posted on encrypted message service.” Each article shows the arrested man’s headshot and a photo of a hand holding a block of cheese. Image in 3rd reblog shows Arthur’s Muffy handing the phone to Francine and saying “bitch it’s the circus”. End ID]
