What's the point of an #anonymizing#messenger if they - in clear violation of #GDPR & #BDSG - conmect that to a #PhomeNumber which im more juristictions than ever can't be obtained anonymously in.any legal capacity???
And everyone who believes a centralized messenger like @signalapp or a privider like @protonmail will save their ass is either completely ignorant of cases besides #EncroChat & #ANØM or prefers to lie to oneself over the cold reality.
And it's not like I am the only one who works against #Cyberfacism...
The Five Guys is a hamburger chain that shares global surveilance information between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Where I speak some advantages Signal has over the bigger richer rest of tech:
“We don’t have to be full of shit. We’re not a surveillance company. I’m not trying to pretend Facebook is good. I don’t have to toe a party line that is divorced from reality”
Proton Mail now offers "Proton Pass" -- Don't trust them.
As soon as it becomes popular, they'll limit the service, and make it part of their paid plan.
They like to get people hooked on their services, then raise their prices.
I was an early adaptor of Proton Family, before they surprised everyone by discontinuing the service, then starting it back up nearly a year later at a most costly premium. -- They did that to their paying customers. Don't trust them.
Ich suche eine App, welche meine Ergüsse Parallel auf Twitter, Mastodon, Post, Bluesky und Threads postet und die Antworten sortiert. Und dann bitte einen Messanger für WA, Signal, Telegram, iMessage, Threema, ...
We're also pleased to have @cdteurope's Iverna McGowan moderate the discussion 🌟 & to hear from Noémie Levain, Legal Expert at @LaQuadrature, Beatriz Ramalho da Silva, Investigative Journalist at @lhreports & Bart Staszewski LGBTI+ activist, founder and chairman of Basta Fundacja 🤩
All I see is a huge-ass #honeypot that puts #ANØM to shame and gets #TechIlliterates into a false sense of security like a 10kW floodlight does to moths...
If they were interested in it being #secure, they'd decentralize it so hard that even if one were to put a gun on every single of their staff members at once they could not shut it down.
We're in the final stages of the Online Safety Bill and, honestly, I'm not optimistic. This is just the next attempt, and probably the successful one, at breaking end-to-end #encryption in the #UK. I admire the stances of @signalapp and the like, but the ones who are going to be most negatively affected by this are those who aren't as technically proficient. And that's the problem. Truly #privacy-preserving technologies should be accessible to everyone. #tech#surveillance
I just don't have any evidence yet that they're an #ANØM-Style #Honeypot but I'd declare every LEA "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already #EncroChat themselves inside and put every phone # of every user on a watchlist.
Or does anyone think the CIA & NSA didn't find a successor operation to #MINERVA?
Rund ein Jahr nach Bekanntwerden von #rechtsextrem|en und gewaltverherrlichenden #Chats bei #SEK-Polizisten in #Muenster sind die Ermittlungen zum größten Teil eingestellt worden. Nach Angaben der #Staatsanwaltschaft Münster von Montag lag bei den Inhalten keine #Volksverhetzung vor. Begründung: Für diesen Straftatbestand ist die Öffentlichkeit Voraussetzung. Es handelte sich aber um geschlossene Chatgruppen.
My standpoint is that, not only should all social software support ActivityPub, it should be required by law.
Further to that, all social software should have an account migration path towards and away from it.
No, I’m not saying all servers should federate with each other. What I am saying is that it should be impossible for any one server software to monopolize the network effect.
@atomicpoet everyone who trusts any of the #PRISM collaborators, espechally #NSAbook, disqualifies themselves for any #security-based discussion - period!
