Awesome, #duckduckgo - the #privacy focussed #searchengine has *never* #complied with a #police #search #warrant https://twitter.com/DuckDuckGo/status/14.. This is because they are completely *unable* to #comply !
More slipping of #privacy and #security - with #secret #gagorders by the #us #government to inflict #google https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrews.. Scary stuff.
The #eu is really heading down the #authoritarian route: https://www.euronews.com/next/2021/07/21.. First they ban #encrpytion , #privacy and now #decentralized #crypto - very concerning! Whenever I see something like this I know that it's just a matter of time till the #uk stupidly does exactly the same. It's disappoints me to no end.
#apple are not having a great time of it recently: https://twitter.com/ashleygjovik/status/.. They don't appear to understand #privacy ...
The late #stevejobs of #apple knew what #privacy was about! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij-jlF98.. If only #timcook could live up to his ideas.

It's a very interesting discussion on #apple 's new #childporn " #protections ", that many, including myself, believe that it is just a #backdoor for a more #intrusive #privacy breach at a later date.The only good thing about losing about 20 #internetpoints over on #hackernews is that I now have some article ideas. So far I have "Empathy vs logic", "Emotion vs reason", "My enemy is not human", "Workplace sexism", "Good debate technique" and "Feminism everywhere". I think I got a good deal for those points!
Some big names on this #openletter to #apple https://appleprivacyletter.com/ I propose there might be another #internalmemo later! I'm glad the #tech #community are taking a #freedom and #privacy issue so seriously, despite the outwards appearance of being for the best interests of everybody.
#apple 's #internalmemo appears to suggest they intended to just #ignore #criticism of their new #scanning feature: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-int.. I guess people now know they need to just leave their #ecosystem and Apple don't *actually* care about #privacy and #security ...
Interesting, it seems like a #millionaire from #bitcoin #investment as built a #freespeech #phone https://www.lotuseaters.com/youngest-bit.. Not sure if there are enough #buynow buttons on the homepage: https://freedomphone.com/ Currently it doesn't mention #specs or even why it is #privacy first, or how it is different from #android - but could be interesting to watch at least.
It's all a bit upside down when #labour are the party pushing for the right of #privacy in the #uk https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/07/g.. I think the #nhs and #conservatives really dropped the ball on this one.
