Hello everyone! Those of you that use a VPN for privacy. Do you happen to know an alternative to Mullvad VPN? Their 5€/month price is great, but I can't find an equivalently priced VPN with port forwarding and good privacy. Sadly Mullvad is removing port forwarding and I need to migrate...🥴 (Just bought it)

Thanks!

The attack on encryption in Europe is very real. We obtained a leaked document from the EU showing Spanish officials want to ban end-to-end encryption.

Beyond this, the document shows the views of 20 countries on encryption, and how it relates to a controversial proposed law that would allow companies to scan people's chats to hunt for child sexual abuse material.

The majority said they are in favour of some form of scanning of encrypted messages.

The document also reveals that a lot of countries don't appear to know how end-to-end encryption works, with many proposals being technically infeasible.

Spain supports mass #surveillance and the assault on #privacy.

Leaked government document shows Spain wants to ban end-to-end encryption. Of the 20 EU countries represented in the document leaked to WIRED, the majority said they are in favor of some form of scanning of encrypted messages, with Spain’s position emerging as the most extreme.

US tech giant Meta has been hit with a record €1.2 billion fine for not complying with the EU’s privacy rulebook.

The Irish Data Protection Commission announced on Monday that Meta violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when it shuttled troves of personal data of European Facebook users to the United States without sufficiently protecting them from Washington's data surveillance practices.

Hardware security keys are a form of multi-factor authentication for logging into important accounts. If you were thinking about getting a one, it's good to know Fedora supports them.

But remember to get two so you can make a backup!

Me: Why?

Website: In case we get hacked!

Me: I don't really care, no one even knows about this account and it doesn't have my personal information.

Website: You misunderstand, it's so that in case we get hacked, we HAVE your information to leak to the hackers. They worked hard and deserve it! Also we sell your account to ad companies but they're not interested unless they can tie it to a real person.

Sometimes criminals close the door when plotting crimes.

“We should ban doors!” 🚫🚪

Sometimes criminals hide weapons under their clothes.

“We should ban clothes!” 🚫👖

🙃

Do not fall for these misguided arguments.

Most of the time people use end-to-end encrypted apps to talk about the most mundane things.

Sometimes vulnerable people use end-to-end encryption to protect themselves and stay safe.

We should keep and cherish encryption.

We should demand it everywhere.

End-to-end encryption protects our human right to privacy and safety.

We must fight for it! ✊🔒

We'll be heavily prioritizing adding support for the Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. It has been years since we supported a tablet (Nexus 9) and there will likely be additional work to support the form factor properly. Pixel Fold is a new form factor and may be difficult.

Has anyone heard of this new EU Chat Control legislation? Just saw this via instagram and holy dhit it's terrifying. #eu #privacy #chatcontrol
(which I bet you did, since nobody is discussing it)

This year, the European Commission will be working on a legislative proposal called Chat Control. The proposal aims to have all EU citizens’ communications monitored and scrutinized. This means that all of your phone calls, video calls, text messages, every single line that you write in all kinds of messaging apps, your e-mails, and chat conversations in video games and dating apps — yes, all of this — will be filtered in real time and potentially flagged for a more in-depth review. This also applies to images and videos saved in the cloud, i.e. the legislation essentially impacts everything you do with your smartphone. In other words, your personal life will be fully exposed to government scrutiny. Most people have never even heard about this legislation despite the fact that it will affect all European Union citizens. It's about time to start discussing this proposal and ensure it gets revoked (at least for those of us who want to defend human rights and democratic processes within the EU).

Content warning: Problems with BlueSky Terms of Service and Privacy Policy


Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices.

TL;DR: Don't turn it on.

The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.

We analyzed the network traffic when the app syncs the secrets, and it turns out the traffic is not end-to-end encrypted. As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers. There is no option to add a passphrase to protect the secrets, to make them accessible only by the user.

Why is this bad?

Every 2FA QR code contains a secret, or a seed, that’s used to generate the one-time codes. If someone else knows the secret, they can generate the same one-time codes and defeat 2FA protections. So, if there’s ever a data breach or if someone obtains access .... 🧵
