If end-to-end isn’t a god given right, then why did god give us prime numbers?

Are they though?

Centralised moderation teams often lack the context to know what they're looking at. Fediverse admins each take care of a small, well-defined bit of overall moderation; the bit that affects accounts on their server. They know what's acceptable in their community.

"It is just much harder for a volunteer-run, distributed system to roll out protections like E2EE than a centralized company."

Explain the logic underlying that conclusion. Counterexample, the Matrix network. A distributed system, much of which is volunteer-run.

@Internxt Good article but would be better if the writer mentioned clear pro and con list for each. Also list closed source as con for those that are. Also, doesn't have enabled by default and the separate encryption app isn't officially fully supported last I heard.

@viktor @Internxt Thanks for the correction and apologies some of my information was apparently out of date. by default for files and contacts would still be great feature.

Ihr habt aber Probleme, dieses Wissen mit "normalen" Leuten zu teilen. @ZDF hat sich dem ebenfalls angenommen. Vielleicht helfen diese 29 Minuten, mehr Leuten Einblick in die dunklen Machenschaften zu bekommen.

"" klingt so gefährlich. Drehen wir den Spiess doch einfach um, und zeigen den lieben Nutzern, dass sie doch im Namen des Fortschritts freiwillig auf Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung verzichten wollen. Und es vielleicht nicht einmal merken:

Damit die noch besser auf eine persönlichen Bedürfnisse eingehen kann, darf sie alle deine E2E-verschlüsselten Nachrichten über eine Hintertür lesen. Und zu den Servern schicken.

Wow - apparently WhatsApp's design allows to gather information on which devices the client is installed, and Meta said it's all by design https://m.opnxng.com/@TalBeerySec/hi-meta-whatsapp-with-privacy-6d646c5aa3bc

Reminds me of a story back in 2017, when a flaw in encryption was found in WA and they replied with "it's not a bug, it's a feature" - and in response, my friends and I decided to add PGP encryption to WA Web as a hackathon project :blobfoxlaugh:

There is a lot to build in
the digital rights and data privacy realm.

Embrace the arrival of
more trustworthy end-to-end encrypted and privacy-focused messaging apps, email services, VPN services, browsers, operating systems, mobile devices, security tokens, etc.

Embrace the development of
more organizations, groups, and projects growing to defend our digital rights and fight to make the future a brighter place.

We need them all! 💜

In case you missed our talk about Messaging Layer Security (MLS) at , you can re-watch it now.
👉 https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12064-rfc_9420_or_how_to_scale_end-to-end_encryption_with_messaging_layer_security

MLS is the first standardized and fully specified end-to-end encryption protocol. It brings substantial improvements in performance and security compared to existing protocols. We have been involved in the design and development of the MLS protocol since the very beginning.

We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with #BitMart to offer a primary listing for #eMAID (ERC20 token) with trading commencing on 10 January 2024. The pair being offered is EMAID/#USDT. With the sad news of #Bittrex closing its doors last year and ending trading of Omni #MAID, this is great news for the future of...

    Last Boost: I really feel needs to rapidly become ubiquitous, expected, and normalized before bills that seek to ban it find the right wording to survive media scrutiny.

    That's why fan art is safe and fan games aren't, btw. Copyright wise, no difference. Fan art, esp selling it, is unquestionably not ok by most copyright standards.

    Only the unspoken "it's always been like this" keeps it safe. Sometimes that's the most critical part. People hate change. Preemptive laws are v dangerous.

    As it is a long, long tradition Conversations is available for free on the Google Play store for the last week of December.

    This tradition was originally born so that when I meet people at Chaos Communication Congress and they ask what I do, they have an easy way to install Conversations. In that regard it's a very special year as we are seeing the return of CCC.

    However if you are meeting loved ones to celebrate something else these days that’s fine too.🎄

    I THINK THE MATRIX CHAT PROTOCOL SUCKS

    @hexaheximal @kkarhan @esm I also forgot about the most obvious thing...

    Back in the 90s, Bill Gates infamously decided to kill Netscape. He did it because he knew that web apps would make the operating system irrelevant.

    While his solution was wrong, he correctly predicted that web apps were going to take over.

    Look at all of the desktop apps which are just Electron wrappers now too. It's very common. (and before you say that electron is bad and discard it, which is likely, https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/blob/master/docs/electron.md)

    > Any with of all Keys should be considered security-sensitive and thus should not he used as a .

    This is irrelevant too. Browsers have really good sandboxing nowadays, and on chromium you can even create multiple profiles within the UI. The reality is that, as long as the client-side code can be trusted (reminder that you can self-host element and/or cinny if you don't trust it - I've done that before) as well as the browser itself, it's about the same in terms of security.

    You are fighting against reality.
