We want Zerion independently audited. A real security audit is how a privacy app proves itself, because code should speak louder than marketing, and we’d rather be checked than believed.

Audits cost money, and we’re independent, so we’re asking for help. Every bit genuinely counts, no amount is too small, and it all goes toward getting Zerion properly reviewed.

If you believe in what we’re building, you can support it here:

Le Monde's research showed ad data from smartphone SDKs. #DataBrokers can expose identities and daily movements of police, military, and intelligence personnel… sold by data brokers from everyday apps.

#tldr "…What can you do about it?
There’s no way to stop all kinds of tracking, but you can take the following actions to reduce the granularity of the datasets collected:

Turn off location services(new window) when not in use and deny apps location permissions.
Use a VPN(new window) to hide your real IP address. DNS filtering features such as Proton VPN’s NetShield Ad-blocker(new window) can also help bock ad and tracker scripts.
Delete your advertising ID on Android (Settings → Google → All services → Ads → Privacy and security → Ads → Delete advertising ID). iPhones don’t provide this option."

Patient and worker privacy is being overlooked when sweeping changes in the health-care system degrades human condition, autonomy and self-determination. Loss of privacy and living standard should not be equated with efficiency gain. There is no gain where the people end-up losing their quality of life through loss of freedom and loss of jobs.

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal, or other centralized chat apps, is not a solution if you really care about #privacy, #resilience and #autonomy / #digitalindependence

all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them super easy to censor, the best services are the one that don't require any personal data at all to register, like ArcaneChat
