The rates of SA of men is also high. Its a common thing. Granted, perhaps not as common as men who commit SA.

Men, some subgroup of men in particular, are at a higher risk of false accusations than of sexual assault.

Are they? The former seems pretty much unheard of while the latter ain’t uncommon. I think the only subgroup of men where the risk of being “falsely” accused of SA is high are men who commit SA and just don’t believe it is SA. Of course perception of risk can vary and the (perceived) severity of the event matters as well.

I never understood this fear.

Always seems weird when people are more worried about accusations than sexual assault/harassement. The latter seems far more common ime, even if you are seen as a guy.

Perhaps the same could be said of all human! /hj

Wild that they are paying so much money to be the test subjects rather than companies just doing it for “free” as they do for a everyone else.

That’s true of all names. Names are still a form of identification. But it doesn’t authenticate that you are a specific person.

Is anyone at threat of prison time or at least fines measured in the 100’s of billions, if not trillions?

Depends on your threat model. But given more people using these things normalize it for those who can justify the need for such software (like whistleblowers, those organizing illegal direct action), it makes it easier for them to use it without it gaining too much suspicion and makes it easier for them to use it more consistently even outside talking about things that more obviously need that extra security.

Those are super easy to change, so no one would know that it’s you across different addresses unless you specifically tell them.

Or they recognize your writing (granted, unless you admit to it or do things like tell the same story on both accounts, it is basically just a hunch rather than solid evidence). I’ve accidentally done that with someone across websites once based on primarily based on how they wrote (granted it was a very niche community, making that cross-website different-username identification based on solely writing style much more feasible). If you write generically and avoid things like unusual emoticons (or intentionally write differently with different handles), its a lot harder to do that.

If you invite nazis to your table, guess what you are?

EU forced them to give another year in the EU. Elsewhere, people are out of luck.

Was wondering why this was posted on technology, but it turns out it is not selling what I’d expect with that website name.
