" Una de las características más peculiares del smartphone es que dispondrá de "interruptores físicos" para desconectar las cámaras, el micrófono, la antena, el WiFi o el Bluetooth, según lo requiera el usuario para preservar su seguridad y privacidad"

"But I think they shouldn’t be allowed to collect data about people. We need a law. F**k them — there’s no reason we should let them exist if the price is knowing everything about us. Let them disappear. They’re not important — our human rights are important."

A story of news, fake news, fake-fake news, and the ones who create and instrumentalize them...

This is huge. Russia’s unelected government is afraid of communications it can’t monitor, so it tries to shut down Telegram. Telegram moves to AWS and Google Cloud. Russia BLOCKS both services.

Almost nothing works in Russia’s internet right now. Banks, shopping, small business. https://twitter.com/ow/status/986160447152885760 … #nextcloud

@seanl @bob @pettter @nolan @CobaltVelvet I'm also in the minority in that anonymnity is interesting to me, but is not the *most* interesting property of tor onion services for myself personally. (I generally assume that unmasking tor users takes work but is generally possible for a state actor.)

What tor onion services also bring is a decentralized & globally unique identifier that can be used to set up a secure *connection* between entities, but is backwards compatible with lots of tooling!

Mike, @torproject, on Google and ReCaptcha:

"This is a company that is basically the primary/only gateway to much of the Internet, and it has decided that certain IP addresses *do not deserve access to that Internet*. Full stop. This is not a problem that gets solved by having our devs talk to their devs to "nerd harder". This should be a PR bloodbath.. We should have made it one months ago."

Looking for a Mastodon service provider with availability and privacy as their top priorities.

Privacy means ideally good and explicit logging and user data policy, backed by trustworthy organisation, available over Tor, available as a .onion.

For those who don't want to click on a twitter link:

Russian Court Bans Telegram App for refusing to hand over encryption keys.

Commendable they refuse to hand over keys but now no more Telegram in Russia... The issue with #centralization made clear again. Better #federate with #matrix #XMPP
