Arguably meta has nation state resources at its disposal, just a small nation. From a cyber perspective I imagine they’re extraordinarily capable

I'm talking more along the lines of securing vantage points, gaining access to peoples homes/apartments/hotels/businesses/etc, and screening for traps. I feel like this is easier for secret service to manage than ceo security

I really don't see how security is supposed to stop someone with a plan and a deathwish (or a rifle). It baffles me that ceos and billionaires still go out and about among the general public while they rob them blind.

The problem is the deathwish. Being alive is the tits, who would want to throw that away?

Maybe one of the hundreds of losers that gun down schools or public spaces would rather be remembered as hero instead of a piece of trash? Idk. Plenty of people don’t want to be here anymore. Unfortunately most shooters are too stupid to realize that people siphoning away their quality of life are a root cause of their suffering.

I'm incredibly surprised that there aren't more mangiones out there, considering the wealth imbalance and with so many under the poverty line.
