I am extremely happy that @matrixdotorg@twitter.com has responded to the community's concerns and have put in a lot of effort to make Synapse and Riot a more privacy friendly place 😄 — Very glad to recommend them again for group chats on http://privacytools.io: https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1389

What happened to Switching Social?
@sparks no problem, I wrote it myself, I have a blog which you can find from my profile and I am writing something for there right now.
If anyone ever tells me that privacy doesn't matter I try to tell them this:

A while ago I asked if the devs behind a project could affect how you judge the product.
Currently there is debate as to wether we should use individo.us because the creator refuses to do anything about hate speech.
At the end of the day it is a question of Morals. I am of the opinion that Hate Speech ≠ #FreeSpeech .
But there is no realistic alternative to indidvio.us .
What do you think?

In about a weeks time, my page is going to be very quite as I am taking a break from all this and focusing on work.
All that being said hope you have a great day!

Anyone want to help privacytools.io with some somewhat tedious tasks? 😆
I'm trying to add i18n support to the site so we can get some translations up! But it means I need pretty much every English string to be copied to a separate file to be translated. Info @ https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1106

After the whole Gab situation I wonder how much the devs behind something affect how you judge the product, regards to its functionality.
I found a twitter thread from the lead dev @GrapheneOS and it has made me more sceptical about the project in some ways, and also very intrigued to do more of my own research.
Have a read for yourself:

Anyone else see where President Trump attacked the internet in a speech today.
"We must shine light on the dark recesses of the internet and stop mass murders before they start."
"The internet, likewise, is used for human trafficking, illegal drug distribution, and so many other heinous crimes. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and will not be ignored."
It's almost like the 5 eyes are teaming up to further destroy privacy and our freedoms.
Whats been your favourite article of mine so far? I'm interested to know so I can write more about what you really want to hear. If you don't like my articles also please tell me why! I will take any criticism. Leave some comments I'll try to reply to them all!
