how to talk about this with the "I've got nothing to hide" crowd 🤷

the fact that "the phone wasn't locked" surprised me more than its surviving the fall 🙃 then i realized the discrepancy. i should stop reading posts in privacy communities 🙂

hello fellow lemming,

i'm sharing an article that i thought is interesting, on a related community.

i quoted a paragraph from the article, i am not asking a question.

sharing an article won't even necessarily mean that i agree with it.

only those who care about "clicks" blame others for doing things for clicks. I don't give a damn about clicks.

what the fuck is wrong with you?!

lots of people will comment about organic maps

Various lawmakers in different countries are proposing to require messaging services to provide a mechanism for law enforcement to decrypt end-to-end encrypted messages. This kind of legislation fundamentally misunderstands how easy it is for bad people to build their own end-to-end encryption layers on top of other messaging systems.

Requiring Signal, WhatsApp, and so on to introduce vulnerabilities into their products does not make life much harder for criminals. Criminals can easily build or buy an extra layer of encryption on top and exchange messages that can't be decrypted.

It does make everyone else less safe. If a backdoor exists and is usable by authorised people, it will eventually be exploited and used by malicious people.

This repository contains a trivial demonstration of this. 👉

i do

i use tor not for anonymity but for privacy from my isp. Where i live, they're legally obliged to keep a record of all my connections.

and i use uBlock to filter all 3rd party connections, annoyances, ads &c.

in France, we've been using it for years now and it works fine

its efficiency may depend on the number of volunteers that map a country and France seems to be in top 3. That may explain why it works here

Criminalization of encryption : the 8 december case

Op-ed: ʻEncryption protects our rights, privacy is not a crimeʼ

The beginning of the “8 December” trial is also the judgement of the right to privacy and encryption

In this case, protecting one’s privacy and encrypting communications is no longer merely suspect, but participates of constituting a “clandestine behavior”, a way of concealing criminal intentions. In several memos, the DGSI keeps on trying to demonstrate how the use of tools such as Signal, Tor, Proton, Silence, etc., would be evidence of a desire to hide compromising elements. And on top of this, as we denounced last June, the DGSI justifies the absence of evidence of a terrorist project by the use of encryption tools itself. According to them, if they lack of elements proving a terrorist intent, it’s because those proofs are necessarily hold back in those much-vaunted encrypted and inaccessible messages. In reaction of such absurd vicious circle, lawyers of a person charged denounced the fact that “here, the absence of evidence becomes an evidence itself“.

noo0OO! Don't setup 3 different addresses for an old person who already can't deal with one
