    Does that mean Musk’s businesses have access to everything people do on the systems that use their data centers?

      Generally no, because most hosting companies would have something baked into SLA/SLO contracts, but all of this shit is done so illegally and shadily now, I wouldn’t put a hard “no” on that possibility.

        Nobody can verify that those “contracts” are actually being honored. We are all assuming the fascists will self police themselves out of good will.

          Not true. I’ve been involved in litigation with both AWS and Google over unsecured comms that were defined as being TLS secured in SLA/SLO contracts and found not to be. Not that anything nefarious was happening necessarily, but the expectation is clear.

          Whether these asshats even check for such requirements with a Musk run company right now 🤷

          It COULD possibly be that they are logging every exchange happening at the network fabric between the service layers, but nobody knows unless they intentionally take steps to investigate or accidentally prove it.

        I hope you’re right, but Elon don’t strike me as the guy whose most compliant to SLA, law, or anything else that might be an inconvenience to him.

          He can’t micromanage everything and regular management will try to comply.

            Executives are the biggest cheaters out there. They will only comply if it will hurt them if they don’t, and it’s won’t here, as long as the protection money is produced they don’t have to worry.

            I agree with that. But I think “the right” data scientists can infer too much from all those AI queries, and I think Elon can abuse that for his own gain.

      Impossible to know.

      There are systems for doing things cryptographically secure, but I don’t know much about that.
