The developers of Signal are currently doing a user survey:

https://surveys.signalusers.org/s3

I told them that I really like the app but also that I would like:
a) Signal on @fdroidorg
b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?

The General Purpose Computer In Your Pocket

"One of the neatest tricks Big Tech ever pulled was convincing people that phones weren’t general-purpose computers and should have different rules than laptops or desktops. These rules conveniently give the vendor more control so that you don’t own a smartphone so much as you rent it."

"We do?"
"It's just not the monsters some of us were expecting."

"En un contexto en el que acceder a internet para muchas personas significa solo interactuar con dos megamonopolios (Facebook y Google), se juega no solo una “internet de los pobres”, sino también las configuraciones culturales, educativas y económicas del planeta. El extractivismo de la atención se mezcla con consecuencias impredecibles que tenemos que buscar evitar y cuestionar con mirada crítica"

Gran gran artículo de Florencia Goldsman en Pikara

La Universidad de Granada usa Zoom y Google meet para sus clases y reuniones, obligándote a aceptar sus términos y condiciones de uso. Me gustaría denunciar esto, como mínimo, frente a la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.

¿Alguien me puede poner en contacto con algún abogado o abogada que se dedique a estos temas y pueda contratar para que me ayude con esto?

Agradezco mucho que impulséis esto.

a good example that everyone should follow: the @privacyint newsletter to supporters:

+ links are not scrambled/tracking
+ there are no images embeded
+ text/plain version has links as footnotes
