Hey everyone! Just a friendly reminder that this instance is privately-operated and does have a code of conduct. It's a simple one but it does exist! social.privacytools.io/about/m

I highly recommend people check it out and use common sense and there won't be an issue. We are highly responsive to user reports made as well, and if you don't think we're handling something quick enough you can always ping me. Definitely want to discourage instance blocks to avoid fediverse fragmentation 😄

Also, adding a profile picture, bio, and an post will go a long way towards discovering new and interesting people in the fediverse 😄

Who feels like they “have no choice” but to use websites and technology from organizations they do not trust?

This isn’t #privacy related, but the needs of humanity are above all else - Our small bubble of colleagues have already donated about 400 trees to the #teamtrees initiative to plant TWENTY MILLION trees by 2020.

Please consider donating.
Only $1 gets 1 tree planted.

teamtrees.org/

+6 million have been donated in only three-ish days.

Keep the ball rolling until we hit 20 million!

It seems that during our , we finally broke our 15 dollar goal on librapay, which means we will be able to fully run on donations! We now get a generous 18.11$ a week from 13 different patrons!

I would like to issue a thank you to all involved into making this happen, and a special thank you to our generous backers.

I'm not saying your privacy is useless if the Earth is gone... Well, actually that's exactly what I'm saying. So I'd like to encourage everyone to visit by @MrBeastYT@twitter.com & @MarkRober@twitter.com and actually *take action* to stop . teamtrees.org/

Apple really does treat biometrics as a trustworthy computing layer, whereas other companies in the mobile space reliably treat biometrics as proof-of-concept sales pitches for their whitelabel component business. twitter.com/holly/status/11847

5, 9, or 14 Eyes: Is your VPN actually safe? This blog post is about how the Swedish regulations can’t force VPN providers to secretly collect data, which means it is impossible for any other government to do the same since we have none to give. mullvad.net/blog/2019/10/18/5-
