RT @eff: We hope our new malware handout is helpful for teachers and trainers alike! https://sec.eff.org/materials/malware-handout-english https://twitter.com/mshelton/status/1225581644381224960

Even Amazon employees are starting to revolt. As one employee says, Amazon Ring surveillance doorbells are “not compatible with a free society.” https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-engineer-says-ring-should-be-shut-down-immediately-2020-1

@eff yes, and EFF also needs to stop calling their TWTR feed "official" & their #Mastodon feed "unofficial". EFF should not even mention their TWTR feed outside of TWTR. Send website visitors to Mastodon instead.

Twitter needs to stop pressuring users to add their phone numbers to their profiles and stop defaulting to making those phone numbers discoverable. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/02/how-twitters-default-settings-can-leak-your-phone-number

A recent article on a big tech news site included this phrase:

"[...] Linux phones like the PinePhone, [...]are full of closed-source firmware from non-open components"

We'd like to clear the record: The #PinePhone has two blobs -- neither runs on the main SoC: One loaded to WiFi/BT module, other enclosed within the cell modem. In the modern world of tech, both blobs are unavoidable.

For an overview from someone with deep knowledge of both the PinePhone and Librem 5: https://tuxphones.com/yet-another-librem-5-and-pinephone-linux-smartphone-comparison/

#CloudFlare is now hitting the archive.org wayback machine with the same #CAPTCHA as #Tor users, thus censoring history too.

Digital Privacy Salons are skill & knowledge sharing sessions which aim to teach people the basic ways of protecting themselves and their data from intrusive surveillance and unwanted/unwitting information gathering.

#TorBugSmash update:
As of today, 56 of 77 tickets have been closed. 21 are still in progress. Roughly half of the funds are yet to be allocated.

We’ve been able to fix bugs and complete necessary maintenance on core tor, bridgedb, Snowflake, and Metrics, as well as complete the Tor Browser ESR 68 migration.

Thank you for your support.

Next pEp Engine release will drop support for GnuPG and will support only PGP Sequoia

Was anyone ever so young? What 10 years of my Instagram data revealed https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jan/16/instagram-my-data-california-privacy-law-request

I want to route some of my applications' traffic trough the Tor network.

I use Orbot for this.

But now that @torproject has released an Android Tor Browser I think that have 2 connexions to the Tor network and I have 2 persistent notifications.

How would you solve that ?

PSA: Enigmail will not work with the new Thunderbird beta. They've ripped out the APIs we use in preparation for the upcoming release of TB78. If you need Enigmail, stick with official TB releases.

In light of @nytimes@twitter.com' block buster reporting re: privacy over the break, we'd like to humbly recommend taking time to work through @Info_Activism@twitter.com's Data Detox Kit.
