#NeverForget that #DeBolle (like #Zensursula) is a #Cyberfascist who's diametrally opposed to #privacy!

• She doesn't just demand a #Govware #Backdoor, but #BulkAccess with no need for warrants!

• These #TechIlliterates push for "#Chatcontrol" aka. criminalizing #Privacy.

Mark my words: #Monero, @torproject / #Tor, #Messengers and #VPN|s are the #LitmusTest for #Freedom!

• #Fascists look in envy and jealousy at #Russia and "P.R." #China as well as #NorthKorea and wish the same amount of #control over their population!

If you care about digital privacy, and not supporting the anti-democratic forces of #bigtech then sometimes it's a bit depressing and you feel helpless.

Cheer yourself up by seeing just how many organisations are out there fighting that fight for you 💪🏼:

@echo_pbreyer Excellent picture - uses clear colours

Suggestions:

➡️ A bullet point list of the 3 coloured groups would be easier to count how many are: opposing / #neutral , undecided, in favour...

➡️ Also add #privacy and key words as hashtags like #Germany #Estonia #Security

"His private discord post"

My brother in christ if a corporate app or service's literal only hard security feature is that it uses SSL it simply is not private.

Assume all of your Meta, Discord, Telegram etc messages can be read in near realtime by proud boys with badges i. Trump's regime.

#Chatcontrol is OFF the table for now. 💪

But it will be back.

Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:
"𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀."

We have to keep fighting for #encryption and our right to #privacy 🔒

If you run Firefox (or any of the forks), run uBlock Origin. Many ads are malicious. If a site won't open or won't function properly because you're using an ad blocker, leave the site. It really is as simple as that.

If you are enabling an AI feature scanning all your emails, consider this will also scan the emails people have sent you. This information could include personal or otherwise legally protected information.

If this data leaks later (as it regularly happens with these systems), this could mean severe legal consequences for you down the road.

YOU are responsible for protecting the data of others under your custody.

This includes the messages and emails others send to you.

Hey @protonprivacy it would be nice if you could update your website. Given that both of us fight for #privacy and #opensource, we must not use the same marketing tactics like Big Techs do.

Screenshot from Proton website, highlighted text: All Proton apps are open source Question to Lumo with a more a honest answer: Are all Proton apps open source? Please answer in one sentence. Not all Proton apps are open source—while many core services like Proton Mail and Proton VPN have open-source components, some Proton applications remain proprietary.

@blueluma #privacy and #security are inherently intertwined.

• Anything that reduced privacy also reduces security and every good security system will have privacy not nust as a cornerstone, but foundation.

There is no legitimate reason to demand any #PII when there's neither legal mandate (i.e. #KYC / #AML) nor risk of fraud (i.e. #prepaid services).

• Heck, Signal as a #VCmoneyBurningParty doesn't even offer any "#subscription" whatsoever!
