Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by amsterdam22 on Feb 19, 2022 19:50:32 GMT 1, Amsterdam 22, whilst I agree with your opinion that pest control provide a very poor service, as do plenty of others on here, you won't get the peasants revolting when they own banksy prints or waiting on a coa. I'm waiting on a change of ownership for over a year and if it were any other company i would of taken action, but pest control have us over a barrel. Your art is worth a fraction without their piece of paper so people dont want to piss them off. They also don't want to be on any blacklist should Banksy ever decide to release anything else. This "art" isn't worth a penny with or without COA. And who the hell wants to buy if he "ever decides to release anything else" when the service is poor and the stuff ain't worth shit? Not worth the hassle.
People here only buy to flip it. Calls themselves fans

Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by amsterdam22 on Feb 19, 2022 19:52:50 GMT 1, I am now receiving PM's telling me that "I'd better react". ย Its not the first time I've received weird/threatening PM's on here and it's probably from the same person. ย I only came on here to see what's happening and share some tunes but then hey my name is jo and therefore I am everyone ever called jo in the entire world as well as being Banksy's spokesperson! I certainly didn't expect to go quite so far down the internet rabbit hole today.
Ah. I did send you I love you and now you donโt publish it here.

Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by mojo on Feb 19, 2022 20:37:13 GMT 1, link
Once upon a time, intensive surveillance was a prerogative of states. After the arrival of the internet, and especially the rise of companies such as Google and Facebook, ISPs (internet service providers) and mobile networks, it became a prerogative shared between the state and private companies โ corporations that log everything you do online. Surveillance became a kind of public-private partnership. The companies do much of the work and readily cooperate with security agencies when they come armed with a warrant.
Way back in 2009 the German Green politician Malte Spitz went to court to obtain the data that his mobile phone operator, Deutsche Telekom, held on him and then collaborated with the newspaper Die Zeit to analyse and visualise it. What emerged was a remarkably detailed timeline of his daily life, a timeline that would have been readily available to state authorities if they had come for it with appropriate legal authorisation.
But in internet time 2009 was aeons ago. Now, intensive surveillance is available to anyone. And you donโt have to be a tech wizard to do it. In mid-January this year, Kashmir Hill, a talented American tech reporter, used three bits of everyday consumer electronics โ Apple AirTags, Tiles and a GPS tracker โ to track her husbandโs every move. He agreed to this in principle, but didnโt realise just how many devices she had planted on him. He found only two of the trackers: a Tile he felt in the breast pocket of his coat and an AirTag in his backpack when he was looking for something else. โIt is impossible to find a device that makes no noise and gives no warning,โ he said when she showed him the ones he missed.
Intensive surveillance is available to anyone. And you donโt have to be a tech wizard to do it
Hillโs report makes for sobering reading. AirTags and Tiles are products sold to help consumers find lost objects. But her experience confirms that these gadgets are also pretty good for tracking people and, being small and unobtrusive, are easy to plant on targets. Of the three Hill used, the GPS tracker was the most intrusive. The manufacturer describes it on Amazon.com as โthe ultimate in discreet tracking! Keep track of movement in real time with your very own private eye.โ As far as the Hill household was concerned, it certainly delivered on that promise.
If you wanted a case study for how a particular piece of technology can be both used and abused, these tracking devices really fit the bill. On the one hand, there are all kinds of excellent uses for gizmos such as AirTags or Tiles. Many people (including me) use them to keep track of frequently mislaid objects such as house keys. On a less mundane level, a German activist, Lilith Wittmann, had a suspicion that a particular mundane government agency was a front for a spy operation, a hunch that was stoutly denied by all concerned. Reasoning that one way of checking might be to see where post addressed to the agency actually wound up, she sent a parcel with an AirTag in it to the agency and watched through Appleโs Find My system as it was delivered via the Berlin sorting centre to a sorting office in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and then appeared at the federal domestic intelligence agency in Cologne.
On the other hand, there have been examples of people being followed or stalked using AirTags. And bad actors have also found other malign uses for them, for example, tagging valuable personal property (expensive handbags) as well as cars and bikes targeted for theft. Suddenly, AirTags seem less cool than they appeared when they were launched. Which is doubtless why Apple recently announced a number of new measures and forthcoming technical fixes clearly intended to head off what could become a public-relations nightmare if the abuse of AirTags led to the death or injury of a victim of stalking. Letโs hope that these changes make the tech safer.
In the meantime, where did I leave those blasted keys?

linkOnce upon a time, intensive surveillance was a prerogative of states. After the arrival of the internet, and especially the rise of companies such as Google and Facebook, ISPs (internet service providers) and mobile networks, it became a prerogative shared between the state and private companies โ corporations that log everything you do online. Surveillance became a kind of public-private partnership. The companies do much of the work and readily cooperate with security agencies when they come armed with a warrant. Way back in 2009 the German Green politician Malte Spitz went to court to obtain the data that his mobile phone operator, Deutsche Telekom, held on him and then collaborated with the newspaper Die Zeit to analyse and visualise it. What emerged was a remarkably detailed timeline of his daily life, a timeline that would have been readily available to state authorities if they had come for it with appropriate legal authorisation. But in internet time 2009 was aeons ago. Now, intensive surveillance is available to anyone. And you donโt have to be a tech wizard to do it. In mid-January this year, Kashmir Hill, a talented American tech reporter, used three bits of everyday consumer electronics โ Apple AirTags, Tiles and a GPS tracker โ to track her husbandโs every move. He agreed to this in principle, but didnโt realise just how many devices she had planted on him. He found only two of the trackers: a Tile he felt in the breast pocket of his coat and an AirTag in his backpack when he was looking for something else. โIt is impossible to find a device that makes no noise and gives no warning,โ he said when she showed him the ones he missed. Intensive surveillance is available to anyone. And you donโt have to be a tech wizard to do it Hillโs report makes for sobering reading. AirTags and Tiles are products sold to help consumers find lost objects. But her experience confirms that these gadgets are also pretty good for tracking people and, being small and unobtrusive, are easy to plant on targets. Of the three Hill used, the GPS tracker was the most intrusive. The manufacturer describes it on Amazon.com as โthe ultimate in discreet tracking! Keep track of movement in real time with your very own private eye.โ As far as the Hill household was concerned, it certainly delivered on that promise.

No, I just read digital newspapers everyday and boom there it was. I may just stick to reading them since spending time on here today has left me slightly bewildered and a bit dazed, good night all I'm orf out. |

Could get Silk to check out Amsterdam's IP address and you'll see it's not who you think he is.
I say it again - there's more than one person not falling for Banksys shit anymore.

How could they allow this to happen? If you remember the Better out than in exhibition in NYC, some nutter stuck a GPS tracking device to one of the Vans. It was located almost immediately and transferred to a NYC taxi.
I'm certain that it was no accident that your letter was re-routed to the city dump.
Your letter was trash, and it ended up in it's rightful place. Case closed.
