“The Montana law is dangerous, ineffective and deeply unconstitutional. Laws like SB544 reach far beyond adult sites, restricting the right of journalists, educators, healthcare professionals and consumers to access the internet free of government interference' — Alison Boden

🚨FSC has just filed a federal court challenge in Montana over the state’s age-verification law. FSC and our co-plaintiffs — journalists, sex educators, therapists, book publishers and retailers— are asking the court to block enforcement of the law.

Imagine our surprise when Google allowed this potential attacker to reset his password, using his *old* phone number that he had removed from his Google account! Here is the message it showed when it did this:

Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk. The goal seems to be to get activists to switch away from encrypted Signal to mostly-unencrypted Telegram. I want to talk about this a bit. 1/

'No way to create a backdoor that only the good guys can walk through.'

Signal President Meredith Whittaker says the Online Safety Bill will cause 'unprecedented paradigm-shifting surveillance' - in a discussion with Cathy Newman and former UK Tech minister Damian Collins.

Law enforcement officials in other EU countries will be given access to all data that the German police collect from private individuals. This was decided by the EU Parliament with votes of #Union , #SPD , #FDP and #AfD in March 2023.

Wenige Tage, nachdem wir #Piraten gegen die Gesichtsüberwachung in Berlin und Sachsen Beschwerde bei den Datenschutzbeauftragten eingelegt haben, kommt Unterstützung vom Deutschen Anwaltverein: Die Vereinbarkeit mit dem Grundgesetz sei zu bezweifeln.

It seems very unlikely at this point that #KOSA will be attacked to the FAA reauthorization. But there is still a serious effort to push it through the Senate in the very near future. It faces more opposition in the House.

Keep retweeting. Keep calling.

Sometimes random people on the internet care more about stuff that matter to you then your own family....its kinda is what it is

Patrick Breyer #JoinMastodon Hallo Patrick,

vielen Dank für deinen unermüdlichen Einsatz! Bei der #Chatkontrolle zeigt Belgien zwar kleine Zugeständnisse, aber du hast recht, das Ziel scheint immer noch eine umfassende Überwachung zu sein. Das ist besorgniserregend.

Gut, dass du uns informierst und dich

🇬🇧Belgium is making desperate minimal concessions on the #ChatControl proposal to get a majority essentially for indiscriminate searching of our private chats for destroying secure #E2EE encryption - as reported by netzpolitik.org
In June EU Home Affairs ministers will discuss

🇩🇪Bei der #Chatkontrolle macht Belgien verzweifelte Minimalzugeständnisse, um im Kern doch noch flächendeckende Chatüberwachung und Zerstörung sicherer Verschlüsselung durchzudrücken - siehe netzpolitik.org/2024/chatkontr…
Mitte Juni beraten die EU-Innenminister darüber. Die Belgier

Telegram is notoriously insecure and routinely cooperates with govs behind the scenes while talking a big game about speech and privacy. Even their limited opt-in (roll their own) encryption is sus. The more you know 🌈

If you're seeing a bunch of disinformation about Signal please be aware it seems there is a coordinated smear campaign orchestrated by Telegram and various right wing groups.

Goal seems to just be to boost an insecure competitor, but the results could be deadly.

Plz spread

Beureaucracy around the death of a loved one is one of the crewlest thing ever. Its not enough that you mourne the loss but also have to fill paperwork, wait for decisions and all that crap. At a time when you may not have the capacity and mental bandwith to cope with it.
Sigh.
