“The Permanent Leak”

#Whatsapp 🚨

Onder jonge meiden is WhatsApp inmiddels uitgegroeid tot een soort socialemediaplatform. Ze delen foto's en video's met volgers, maar soms ook schoolroosters en andere privégegevens. Wat ze niet doorhebben, is dat iedereen mee kan kijken. "WhatsApp is niet meer zo onschuldig."

Jonge meisjes zijn zich niet bewust genoeg van privacy
De sfeer in de kanalen lijkt voornamelijk positief te zijn. Toch gaat het niet altijd goed. #socialmedia #privacy #security

We will claim we were hacked later after we sold the data.

Maryland legislators are right to engage on AI, but several bills risk overbroad definitions, privacy conflicts, and a patchwork that stifles innovation. CCIA will oppose HB 883, HB 1261 & HB 1250, and seek amendments to HB 952 to narrow definitions, protect #privacy, and avoid geolocation mandates for minors. Enforcement should rest with the AG, not a wave of private lawsuits. CCIA’s Megan Stokes is testifying today on these bills. https://ccianet.org/news/2026/03/ccia-testifies-on-maryland-dynamic-pricing-ai-chatbot-bills/

This is an amazing resource. I've read various guides and articles in the past, but they've all been separate and disparate. This is a lot of good resources in one central area.

Edit to add: This isn't just a tool list and guide. This goes into detail on building community and guidance for groups as well.

Add it to your knowledge repertoire.

The IRS broke the law by disclosing confidential information to ICE 42,695 times, judge says

the IRS provided DHS with information on 47,000 of the 1.28 million people that ICE requested — and, in most of those cases, gave ICE additional address information in violation of privacy rules created to protect taxpayer data

More than a dozen House Democrats are demanding DHS define “domestic terrorist” after it labeled Renée Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens killed by DHS officers, as such. They warn the term is being used to justify expanded surveillance.

New WhatsApp Lockdown Feature protects High-Risk Users from Attackers.

Meta has started rolling out a new WhatsApp lockdown-style security feature designed to protect journalists, public figures and other high-risk individuals from sophisticated threats, including spyware attacks.

⁉️Known as "Strict Account Settings," this new feature builds on already existing end-to-end encryption by adding extreme safeguards for users who require heightened protection beyond standard security measures.⁉️

⚠️Users can enable these new extreme privacy and security controls only from their primary device by toggling on the "Strict account settings" option under Settings > Privacy > Advanced.⚠️

👾Once enabled, it will apply the most restrictive privacy controls, automatically turning on two-step verification, blocking media and attachments from unknown senders, silencing calls from unknown people, turning off link previews, locking access to the users last seen and online information, profile photo, About details and profile links, and limiting other features that could expose users to attacks.👾 "We will always defend that right to privacy for everyone, starting with default end-to-end encryption. But we also know that a few of our users – like journalists or public-facing figures – may need extreme safeguards against rare and highly-sophisticated cyber attacks," WhatsApp said in a blog post. "This feature is built for the very few users who may be the target of such attacks. Therefore, you should only turn this on if you think you may be a target of a sophisticated cyber campaign. Most people are not targeted by such attacks," it added in a separate support document. <https://faq.whatsapp.com/846698564598022/> ⁉️WhatsApp said that the feature it's also slowly migrating to the Rust programming language behind the scenes to boost protection against spyware targeting photos, videos and messages.⁉️
