>I'm about 98% certain this is simply a ploy to put autistic people on a list for future abuses.
I'm a foreigner, not even in the USA. Your politics are melting down but I feel like the FDA isn't tracking or seeking to harm you.
>In today's political climate, nobody should be revealing their autism status to anyone remotely connected to any level of government. Nor should one trust any sort of medical advice or reporting from same. Our government is explicitly targeting minorities of all sorts for abuse and persecution.
Pretty strong argument against socialized medicine. Here in Canada the government actively tracks each of these. For example to get the covid shot, they wanted to know about my autism, non-binary/trans etc. They werent just asking everyone this, I didnt bring it up because why would it matter? I was in their system. I also happen to know this data is being transferred out of country to CDSI; ASN 23498.
>Now is, unfortunately, the time to hide and weather the storm. That or flee to another country with a functioning society.
I dont think you need to flee the usa. Canada has drastically reduced migration, you dont want to come here. Europe maybe?

CDSI is Cogeco Data Services, Inc., a Canadian ISP, which later became Aptum, which in turn was acquired by Beanfield, also a Canadian ISP (the founder Dan Armstrong is actually well known in the internet community in Canada) that operates AS23498.
So I don't see how this would prove your data is leaving the country.
Um. This is weird. I know Dan (and the entire Beanfield team, at least the old guard of 10-15 years ago). Do we know each other? I was in 67 Mowat (aka Carpet Factory) off and on for a long while....
Pretty sure we don't know each other. I am a fairly recent addition to the country (2019) but we've worked with Dan and Beanfield during COVID when we put together a server for Folding@Home in our office to help them with the huge increase in load due to interest in the COVID research they were doing. Beanfield sponsors the pipe and we donated the hardware and rackspace. That server (the only Canadian one), by the way, is still running to this day.
We also came up with the WiFi@Toronto project which a paper says reduced the spread of COVID in those neighbourhoods by 14.4% (https://utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/f542d219-7abe-4918-846f-...). Again, Beanfield sponsored the pipe to exit all the traffic onto the internet and we sponsored the networking equipment and were the ones installing the APs on rooftops.
