What Is the business model for #DuckDuckGo?
Is anybody on here actively using #LibreWolf as main #browser? I am planning to use it instead of Firefox.
For all other: LibreWolf is a fork of #Firefox focused on #privacy.
Are you still blaming #Apple for its #CSAM implementation? Did you know #CSAM is active and running every day on every content you send using #GMail?
As long as you stay with your #Google mailbox don’t expect any #privacy on your contents.
Google sends the images to #NCMEC, which sends them on to LE Task Force. The agent can open the attachment sans warrant.
Are iPhones really better for #privacy? Comparative study of #iOS and #Android apps.
A new app helps iranians hide messages in plain sight.
#Nahoft uses #encryption to turn chats into a random jumble of words, and it works even when the #internet doesn’t.

What if #FacebookDown would happen to #VISA, #MasterCard or #AmericanExpress? I wish someone could invent some #decentralized #money system: it could really save our day that day!

TIL that iphones regularly transmit the Mac addresses of devices attached to the same WiFi network to Apple. In addition to their geographical location of course.
So essentially you can be tracked across all locations where an iPhone is near you (and you haven't disabled your WiFi).
Wow.
#Cwtch Beta 1.3 is now available for download!

Do you need to use #Google even if #DuckDuckGo is out there?
Have a look at Whoogle-Search then, a self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine.
#FTC says health apps must notify consumers about data breaches — or face fines.
Apps that fail to disclose incidents can be fined over $43,000 per violation per day.
«Recognizing People in Photos Through Private On-Device Machine Learning»
Photos (on #iOS, #iPadOS, and #macOS) uses a number of machine learning algorithms, running privately on-device, to help curate and organize images, Live #Photos, and videos.
That's the biggest difference with #GooglePhotos.
Do you want to know more how it happens?

As today, nested inside 52 groups, I am storing 748 password but my life is pretty easy.
I need to know only one of them: my master #password.
The average password lenght is 20 characters.
My favourite password manager? #Keepass.
It's for free, opensource, multi-platform. You can find multiple forks but I would suggest to focus on keepass.info and keepassxc.org
Are you with me? 🙂
