Got a strange message on your #Samsung phone and feeling paranoid? Every proprietary smartphone OS has backdoors the manufacturer can use to spy on everything you do. Choose one that respects your #privacy and #freedom instead. https://u.fsf.org/gguide #findmymobile -

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20705 [www theregister co uk] Yet another reason to wonder whether #Zoom’s management is just ignorant about #privacy and #security, or actively malicious. “End to end” encryption has a specific meaning, namely that messages sent from your device are encrypted until they arrive at your recipients’ devices, so that no one in between, in… -

Looking back on 2019, one thing I'm happy to see is that #privacy concerns are becoming much more mainstream. When I gave a talk at LP2017 just three years ago, I began by saying "this is not a tinfoil hat presentation". If I were to give that talk today, I could confidently omit that line, because 2019 has created a far more fucked up narrative than I ever could have. (O… -

My #bank waives hole-in-the-wall cash withdrawal fees provided you make a certain amount of electronic transactions per month, and have your wages deposited into that account. I couldn't work out the logic behind this requirement until I looked at my statement and realised "Oh, feck. That's tremendously commercially useful data, isn't it?" You can have cash at face value, or you can have #privacy, but not both.
