an intelligence agency based in another part of the country whitman's research is also now detailed in the german wikipedia entry for the federal telecommunications service it recounts how following her original discovery in december NUMBER_TOKEN subsequent government press conferences have denied that there is such a federal telecommunications service at all so that's sketchy as hell and seems to indicate that despite what the german government claims the federal telecommunications service does exist and is in fact a front for a government intelligence agency the federal office for the protection of the constitution is sort of the german version of the nsa so this would be similar to mailing an air tag to a mysterious u.s government agency listed as being in washington dc and then having it end up in fort meade maryland where the nsa is located except with way more distance between berlin and cologne are not close now what's especially hilarious about all this though is that this information was just sitting out there for an entire decade until one person was feeling petty enough to spend NUMBER_TOKEN euros plus shipping to look into it yeah so hiding in plain sight yeah i got time at least this is a fun one because all the air tag related crimes in uh stocking and yeah tossing it into putting in their own bags put it in their bumper or something yeah tape it to their car PROFANITY_TOKEN up yeah they have a feature now that uh it does it makes a sound i think well they have a feature now that sho that'll ping you on your phone to tell you that there is an air tag that doesn't belong to you that's going traveling with you but if i don't have an iphone which i don't well buddy i guess you should join the security revolution yeah you better do it this is android's fault this is absolutely android's kindred's fault yeah why would you blame apple uh-huh yeah anyways finally a quick little update to a story from our last episode neil young told spotify to please remove his music since he didn't want his songs to be on a platform that pays joe rogan NUMBER_TOKEN million dollars to spread vaccine misinformation and spotify has gone ahead and done just that or rather neil young told spotify that they can have either neil or joe and they chose joe but it's unlikely that neil young actually thought that spotify would drop joe rogan just because he asked them to he wanted out he gave them the ultimatum so it would be spotify chooses joe rogan over neil young instead of simply neil young leave spotify yes and hey good for him neil young survived polio just a couple years before a vaccine was available and has some justifiably strong opinions about vaccine misinformation if he doesn't want to share a platform with the world's most prominent vaccine skeptic that is absolutely his right and he clearly doesn't give much of a PROFANITY_TOKEN about whatever revenue that he's losing from spotify a platform notorious for short-changing artists while spending obscene obscene amount of money on podcast exclusivity deals will other artists follow suit maybe maybe not but most artists don't have neil young's pristine half century record of principled
