This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

First of all, it doesn't take hours to overwrite several text files and a few binaries. Second of all, I think I know better what my local cops would do. It's not NSA or Interpol. Lastly, this hypothetical obviously excludes stuff after which 'motivated investigation' might come. That kind of data lives in encrypted files tucked in odd places, and even that can probably be wiped from the directory entry like it was never there.

Erh well, it takes hours with proper tooling with which I have first hand experience… and just as much experience with various police forces… admittedly my knowledge is limited to Europe and LA on that topic.

For reference I saw them deploy very serious means for stuff from csam to piracy so be careful on how you perceive their willing to be major annoyances.

But hey, this is my work experience I offer, you don’t take it it’s not an issue; I’m not invoicing my time anyway :)
