@zeh @jgoerzen Those who call #OWS #Signal merely "imperfect" have not read or fully absorbed this article on what a shit-pile it is, in terms of ethics, privacy, & security: https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/779

@jgoerzen @zeh #Signal is so far from perfect that calling it merely "imperfect" is absurdly generous. For the grandma use-case, #Wire is a drop-in replacement for Signal. Grandma doesn't care if her metadata links her to her grandkids, but forcing grandma's network of friends & family to get GSM/CDMA subscriptions & share their ph# is a stupid move that's both exclusive & privacy-abusing
@Mr_Teatime @jgoerzen @zeh #OWS keeps a copy of your phone number on record for account recovery purposes. Of course, this also opens you up to various attacks and compromises.
@marty @zeh @jgoerzen #Keybase is an absolute train wreck. Avoid that garbage: https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/31190
@JeremyCouch @eff The website proxies through #CloudFlare, which *impedes* speech. Tor users are blocked & non-Tor users have their privacy abused, the wise ones of which use a plugin to block CloudFlare sites. If you hit F12 & go to the network tab, click on a file, you'll see "cf-ray" in the header. That means it's a CF site.
@theprivacyfoundation @stemid WTF, this so-called "privacysavvy" website is jailed in #CloudFlare's walled garden of #privacy abuse. theprivacyfoundation shouldn't be plugging that site.

@koherecoWatchdog So many ppl post links to junk sites that are #CloudFlare jailed, #javascript infested, popup hell, we really need a short code for declaring to readers that an article is free of hassle & CF. I propose #CFHF, short for "CloudFlare & Hassle Free"

A Home #Security Tech Hacked Into Cameras To Watch People Undressing And Having Sex, Prosecutors Say

@rporter @eff The tech giants (#MACFANG) is not where the gov gets the location tracking data. Tech giants profit more by keeping that secret & abusing it themselves. The location tracking data the gov buys comes from a hole-in-the-wall broker. I forgot the name of the company but there are many apps in Playstore that collect the data.
@rporter @eff that's a good start, as long as #CloudFlare is not the VPN provider & out of the DoH loop. OTOH, the VPN just moves the risk to the VPN svc, so #Orbot/Tor is better. But in the context of the OP, neither will help if the app xmits your IMEI w/gps coords.
@eff @JeremyCouch .. privacy without compromising some of it.
@JeremyCouch @eff You're getting #privacy tips from a #CloudFlare website? yikes. And when we visit the unjailed copy of that page in #WaybackMachine, it's just a blank page apparently b/c Rob Braxman managed to screw up something that should just be a matter of simple HTML: https://web.archive.org/web/20201101142812/https://odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech:6 So we can't even see what he has to say about
@Finarfin you'll have to go to China for that. Bitcoin is controlled by 4 guys in China.
@elpanzer In that letter @eff narrowly defines network neutrality in terms of ISPs. This is short-sighted because the biggest offender of the main netneutrality principle (access equality) is #CloudFlare, who sits on the FCC so-called "Open" Internet Advisory Board and who does more netneutrality damage than any other company in the world.
