No shade, outages happen to everyone. But it’s a clean illustration of one thing: when delivery depends on a company’s servers, their downtime is your silence.

@arcanechat

what part is FUD???

The part where you say:

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal is not a solution if you really care about #privacy, #resilience and #autonomy

Your only rationale in the comic is that they are hosted on AWS. Which is a problem for a secure private messenger only for a protocol that is not designed to avoid leaking any sensitive data including the shape of the communication graph to an adversary with complete control over the server.

all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them easy to censor

This is misleading. The phone number in Signal is not used for message routing at all. It can be used to make you discoverable to contacts that were previously using the phone / SMS to connect to you. Being discoverable by your contacts is important for a private messenger because it gets you a big anonymity set quickly.

for a start, there is no single adversary that can observe the whole network, and switching from one relay to another and using several at the same time is easy, without losing your chats & data!

To take the two parts of this in turn: First, I would suggest you search for the term 'global passive adversary'. It's a core part of how any private messenger expresses its threat model. And, although a perfect global passive adversary doesn't exist, ones that monitor more than an entire country do exist.

The second part is the real problem. How many people are there on each relay? I don't need to monitor the entire network to see what a person is doing, I need to monitor the servers that they talk to, and who those servers talk to. That's a much weaker adversary (achievable by a huge number of potentially hostile entities). And the way that you defeat an adversary like this is to have a large anonymity set, so that correlations between messages arriving and leaving are hard.

how does signal, a central observer with access to all users' IP addresses is any better?

We know, from the results of warrants, precisely what can leak from Signal: the timestamp at which you joined the network and the timestamp at which the client last connected to the network. What can a warrant with your protocol deliver?

But if you're leaking things to a passive adversary that require an active compromise of another system then it doesn't matter if your system might be more resilient to an active attacker: an active attacker doesn't need to bother if people use your system. Just knowing which relay they talk to is already giving more data than a warrant against Signal delivers.

But it also highlights the problem with a lot of distributed messaging systems: You can easily turn a single point of failure into a lot of points of failure. If a relay is operated by someone malicious, how much of the network's traffic can they observe?

But, more importantly: you did not answer my question. You just attacked Signal. There are lots of things I dislike about Signal but you aren't even giving answers that tell me that you have solved the problems that they have solved, and you've got a design that introduces a load of hard problems that they don't have.

Maybe try talking about how you've actually solved some hard problems with security and privacy, rather than starting off with an attack on other projects and claiming that you're better than them?

#Signal: "More linked devices are on the table (and the #Android tablet)"

#iOS #privacy #cybersecurity

I'm not so thrilled about mobile operating systems... mostly because of the shrinking choices I seem to have about what apps I can run, where I can get them, what permissions I give (or deny) them, and the feeling that privacy is simply "less of a thing" on mobile devices. Is there a tablet that:

- can reasonably run a non-tablet-specific distro of Linux (preferably plain old Debian)
- can be carried around in a small napsack (ie: no fan)
- has enough battery life to get me through most of a day (anywhere near as good as my old Pixel 4a/5G would be great)

I mean I really just want to offload most of my typical phone based tasks (not calls or texts) to a device that I feel like I have more control over. Am I kidding myself or is this actually a *practical* thing?

A Richmond Times-Dispatch investigation found two known violations of state law: an ATF analyst used the system for immigration enforcement, and a police sergeant illegally shared data with the FBI. Prosecutors declined to bring charges.

When the RTD filed a FOIA request for the audit logs police say prove they follow the rules -- denied again. Meanwhile, text messages show the mayor telling the police chief to "saturate the public narrative with feel good Flock stories."

The police department's response? "The Richmond Police Department remains committed to transparency."
