“While MAGA Republicans are focused on taking away abortion access and cutting Social Security and Medicare, Democrats in Congress are focused on bringing down the cost of your insulin – which is why they passed legislation that allows Medicare to negotiate the cost of prescription drugs.”
For databases, there are transactions, that ensure that all things that all related are either stored or are not at all.
This avoids to have partial data snippets polluting or even corrupting your data.
Now this gets more complicated when things are stored or messaged into different locations...
This is where the Outbox pattern comes into play

#EU#Privacy#Encryption#Messaging#Surveillance: "It has become common knowledge that the governments of France, Germany and Poland have in particular refused the Commission’s proposal for encryption-breaking mass scanning of private messages. But so far, these countries have remained stalwart in their commitment to ensure that EU rules to tackle child sexual abuse are effective, sustainable and compatible with the EU fundamental rights framework. This has meant refusing to agree to a proposed Council position.
On the other hand, Spain’s interior minister shockingly used this government meeting to criticise the Parliament’s position, calling it “not sufficient”. "
#Signal#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Messaging: "Signal is a nonprofit, but we’re playing in a lane dominated by multi-billion-dollar corporations that have defined the norms and established the tech ecosystem, and whose business models directly contravene our privacy mission. So in order to provide a genuinely useful alternative, Signal spends tens of millions of dollars every year. We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
Here we review some of these costs and where this money goes, in the name of providing more transparency into Signal. But we hope to do more than that. Where money goes and how it’s made is a bit of a taboo in tech, something that most tech companies avoid talking about. The actual costs of consumer tech are generally hidden behind stories of innovation and the word “free,” and the connection between the product marketing of a highly profitable tech industry and the ingress and egress of profit and revenue is usually unclear. We believe a material map of these dynamics can help clarify just what is required to fulfill the dream of privacy-preserving alternative technology, and contribute to establishing a solid foundation from which we can grow alternatives that contest tech surveillance and the incentives behind it."
Facebook Messenger wird öfter verschlüsseln, Bilder weniger komprimieren
Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung wird in Messenger-Chats mit 2 Teilnehmern zur Voreinstellung. Das ist Teil der "größten Verbesserungen seit es Messenger gibt".
#EU#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Encryption#HumanRights#Messaging: "On 14th November, Members of the European Parliament’s ‘Civil Liberties’ committee voted against attempts from EU Home Affairs officials to roll out mass scanning of private and encrypted messages across Europe. It was a clear-cut vote, with a significant majority of MEPs supporting the proposed position.
A political deal struck by the Parliament’s seven political groups at the end of October meant that this outcome was expected. Nevertheless, this is an important and welcome milestone, as Parliamentarians demand that EU laws are based in objective evidence, scientific reality and with respect for human rights law.
This vote signals major improvements compared to the Commission’s original draft law (coined ‘Chat Control’), which has courted controversy."
I was already highly considering switching to #Nothing, but this might lock me in.
"Nothing Chats is a first-of-its-kind app developed in partnership with #Sunbird, which allows you to message other #iMessage users via blue bubbles on your Nothing Phone."

Our findings suggest that young people already employ several strategies for dealing with unwanted content. Indeed, they also had several ideas for how social media and other platforms can provide better tools to support their efforts at addressing unwanted content, which we outline in the report. We argue that as part of broader efforts to keep young people safe online, companies should invest more in supporting the ability of these users to protect themselves.
