Ecuador has been sequestering Assange’s belongings since his arrest. Now we know why: To hand them over to the US in violation of international law. Ecuador’s vile behaviour is not new as they have been sending information on Assange to the US for months.

The spyware could be transmitted through a call, even if the call was unanswered.

It is unclear how many phones were targeted.

OnionShare 2.1 is released! This version is translated into 23 languages, and allows you to schedule the server starting at some point in the future so you can use it as a "dead man's switch". Check it out https://onionshare.org

Why I no longer recommend using #AlternativeTo

1) The website hosted on cloudflare and contains some Google trackers.
2) It let's you filter for #FreeSoftware , but doesn't explain the value of it.

Instead I recommend:

Yes, @mozilla makes mistakes (same as the rest of us humans). And yes, their last one was ugly. But, still, they're the only ones in the browser business trying to do the right thing. So I'll keep using Firefox, Focus, Send, and the rest of cool software they produce.

Also do not forget that #facebook fought against #opendocument format (ODF), which #libreoffice and many other office suites that compete with #microsoft use. #fb has long been pure evil. http://techrights.org/2010/04/22/facebook-boosts-microsoft/
