The NSA doesn’t need a direct line into everything the military does I guess. Everyone else on the planet has to use privacy denying US gear.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I just learned about blanket octopus today and wanted to share the awe.

The female can be up to 6 feet, while the male is the size of a walnut! He detaches a special arm-like thing full of sperm and gives it to her for safe keeping. When she’s ready, she lays her egg and sprinkles them with the sperm.
Also, they’re immune to the sting of the Portuguese Man of War jellyfish, so they’ll detach the toxic tentacles from same and brandish them as weapons against foes! What a glorious planet.
