It sounds like that one may have been the result of a "lawful intercept", so perhaps not necessarily BGP hijacking. If you have legitimate control of the ASN/network, it's not a hijack.
That's just how entrepreneurship is done these days. You aim to mislead the public in ways that benefit you, and somehow it actually works. If RPKI benefits you, you roll out a campaign that RPKI is great and necessary for internet safety. If you want to know all your users' real names, you roll out a campaign that age verification via identity document is needed to keep children safe on the internet. If your company sells separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, you roll out a campaign that the combined MMR vaccine makes children autistic. If your company sells weapons, you roll out a campaign to subsidize movies and video games that portray war as awesome and manly. If your company sells cigarettes but only men are buying them, you roll out a campaign that sells the freedom to smoke as a benefit of feminism. All of these things actually happened.
RPKI and ASPA keeps you safer from other networks, but less safe from the registries. Consider what happens if your registry's country sanctions your country and you are unable to update any records held at the registry.
Registries have always had the ability to revoke number assignments; RPKI just makes this revocation slightly more forceful. You're going to have a bad time announcing prefixes that don't belong to you, even in the absence of RPKI.
We're all internetworking at the pleasure of IANA. Getting them out of the picture, and removing their ability to deplatform Internet participants, is a much larger task than just moving away from RPKI. We'd need to completely rethink how ASN and IP assignments are done.
Registries have tended to leave existing registration data alone in case of a situation like sanctions. They won't let you register more numbers, nor will they deregister them. If you just need the numbers, that's fine. If you also depend on the registry regularly taking data updates from you, that's a problem.
Phone companies are required to make sure 911 works on their phones. Random people on the internet aren't required to make sure 911 works on random apps, even if they look like phones.
I'm outside both and I'm not seeing a lot of difference. Main one is that one is threatening everyone with nukes, and the other one isn't making any threats I can understand because they're in Korean.
The version I know is a little different: A Russian visits America and meets an American at a bar and they get talking about life in Russia. "How is the propaganda?" says the American. "It's everywhere, but it's easy to ignore it" says the Russian. "Yours is much better." "But we don't have propaganda here" says the American. "Exactly" says the Russian.
idk how a person can be forced to pledge allegiance to the flag every morning and not think that's some North Korean style shit.
When I was in kindergarten, I refused to do the pledge one day. My teacher was livid. "Are you American or not?"
Being 5, I didn't know the difference between ethnicity and nationality (I'm Asian but I was born here and didn't know any life outside of America). So I was afraid that my teacher would not let me be American anymore if I didn't say the pledge. So I said it and never refused to say it in school again.
It wasn't til I was well into my adulthood that I realize how absurd that situation sounds.
So you were actually pledging under duress. Contracts and statements made under duress are usually treated as null and void, so you have that going for you.
Have you considered, however, how that event shaped your developing and impressionable subconscious and possibly influenced your future behavior as an adult?
It's not something I fully understood as a child. I didn't even fully grasp the concept of "nationality" so when she asked if I was American I just said yes because I didn't know what it meant. I just understood that not saluting meant teacher mad, just like not cleaning up my toys in the classroom meant teacher mad.
