Just so you know, we need to push back against privacy-invasive regulations. Each and every time. Shrugging and using a VPN will not save you. They will come for the VPNs next. Then the ISPs. Then more. Pushing against unjust laws matters. The tools alone will not save you in the long run. #Privacy #PrivacyLaw #AgeVerification

Adults, remember that tomorrow is the best day of the year to buy cheap candies! :em_rainbow: 🍭

Halloween? :neocat_surprised:

Happy Halloween Fediverse! 🎃 :awesome:

We need more than 2 popular and accessible types of mobile OS 📱 We need more than 2 popular and accessible types of desktop OS 🖥️ We need more than 2 popular and accessible types of browsers :firefox: We need more than 2 popular high-capacity cloud services ☁️ We need more than a 2 popular and secure end-to-end encrypted email services 📧 We need more than a few popular and secure end-to-end encrypted messaging apps 💬 We need SO much more diversity in tech! There seems to be a tendency to just pit projects against each other (or buy each other) until we only get 2 options in the end. This is horrible for consumer choices, for security, for privacy, for resilience, and just leads to more enshitification everywhere once people are locked in systems without viable alternatives. We need much more options, everywhere. Celebrate and encourage diversity. In tech, and everywhere else. #Tech

What to you is a good visual symbol of data privacy that *isn't* a padlock or a key or a shield?🛡️🔒🔑👀 #Privacy #Poll

I'm old enough to remember when having your photo and fingerprints taken by the authorities was reserved to convicted criminals. Now it will eventually be all of us. All of us constantly tracked by governments and corporations alike, requiring our biometric data for anything they feel like. Our privacy rights are going down the drain under the pretext of security. But it will not make us safer, on the contrary. Don't believe their authoritarian lies. #Privacy #MassSurveillance #Authoritarianism

Snake-oil AI systems are starting to make a joke of the presumption of innocence. It should be illegal to implement an automated system that regularly incriminates innocents. This comes with sometimes severe consequences and trauma for the people wrongly flagged. If we do not push back against this, we are going to lose this right (yes, worse than it is now I mean). #NoAI #HumanRights

Today October 21st is Global Encryption Day! 🔒🎉 This is a good time to remember that encryption is essential to online security and digital privacy. Despite some governments pushing hard to weaken it, we must remind them that we all need encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, to stay safe online 💚 Privacy is a human right and end-to-end encryption is one of the best tool we have to enforce that right.
