Hey, it's Monday I'm Phil Harper this is Truthloader so we're talking about your comments and some
weird stories. Starting out with this, check out this girl's waist. These pictures have
been online for a while but they're once again being shared. They show the waist of Michele
Kobke from Germany. She has a 40cm waist because she uses an incredibly tight corset which
has literally changed the shape of her body.
Doctors have said if she carries on she might not be able to move without the corset, or
potentially she might not be able to move at all but that has not dampened her spirit.
Since Kobke has said she wants to beat the world record, which is currently held by this
lady. This is Cathie Jung, who has the world record smallest waist it's just 38cm which
is about the same as a tub of mayonnaise.
I want to hear what you think about this, where does it come from? Why do people do
it? Just, what do you think about it?
Now for your comments! On our video about the XKeyscore surveillance system 123thegimp

Well Nathanel, on Monday next week we are actually going to be publishing a video about
Serco so make sure you hang around, stay subscribed for that.
So it seems nowhere online are you truly anonymous, even on the infamous onion router or Tor as
it's better known which has been hacked using malicious javascript, which was bundled with
the latest version of the cracked firefox browser and has affected almost half of the
website and the dark web.
Now, although they were ostensibly targeting child ***, its estimated over half
the websites in the dark web have had anonymity of their users compromised. That includes
political dissidents and activists in various countries and it has understandably sent shockwaves
through hacker circles.
It's not sure who has access to the information but what is known that Eric Marquez, the owner
of Freedom Hosting, an Irish based company has been arrested and is awaiting extradition
to the US on various charges.
The patent war between Apple and Samsung just keeps on going and now even Obama's got involved.
Back in June the US International Trade Commission found that some older iPhones and iPads infringed
on a Samsung patent and banned any of the products being imported to the US.
This was a pretty big victory for Samsung but now the Obama adminstration has gone and
vetoed the ban over fears about patent holders gaining too much power and consumers and competitive
conditions being harmed.
This is the first time a President has vetoed an import ban since 1987 and shows just how
seriously the US government is taking the battle between Samsung and Apple, even if
it might just seem like a massive waste of time and money to us.
There's no option for Samsung to appeal the veto but it's unlikely to stop the electronics
company from challenging Apple on other patent allegations.
Who knows if this war is ever going to end.
A team of open-source and privacy campaigners in Iceland have responded to the recent Edward
Snowden NSA leaks by launching a crowd-funding campaign to develop a new e-mail service that
will offer encryption to its users.
Encryption would mean that only authorised parties could read the e-mails so anyone carrying
out surveillance such as the NSA or the UK's GCHQ, the messages would simply appear as
gibberish.
On the campaigns indiegogo page, the developers of mailpile explain that the software runs
on your own computer and can even be modified by users to suit their own needs.
Coincidentally, one of the men behind the project is Smari McCarthy who actually appeared
on Truthloader a few months ago talking about democratic liquidity.
The campaign was launched on the 3rd of August and within 2 days had reached more than a
quarter of its $100,000 target. Find out more by clicking on the link that appears on the
screen right now.
