Dass die EU-Kommission die Totalüberwachung und digitale
Kontrolle im Internet genauso wie im Alltag, an ihren Außengrenzen zur Bekämpfung von fliehenden Menschen und im Inneren u.a. für den Datenkapitalismus weiter ausbaut, ist nichts Neues. Nicht nur besteht sie aus stramm neoliberalen, autoritären Politiker*innen, die schon zuvor immer wieder mit repressiven Vorhaben angekommen sind, es geht allgemein mit dem Überwachungs- und Krisenkapitalismus auch eine autoritäre Transformation einher.

Als Antiautoritäre stellen wir uns diesen Entwicklungen und Allen, die sie voranbringen wollen, entschlossen entgegen!

Die #EU will WhatsApp-Chats mitlesen

"WhatsApp, Telefone, Sprachassistenten von Google oder Apple und sogar smarte Kühlschränke in Wohnungen sollen in Zukunft überwacht werden können, wenn es nach der EU-Kommission geht. Das geht aus einem vertraulichen Vorschlagspapier hervor, das eine Expertengruppe im Auftrag der EU-Kommission erstellt hat. Dieses Dokument liegt t-online vor.
In dem Papier werden auf 28 Seiten 42 Punkte für eine verschärfte Überwachung vorgeschlagen. Auch an der möglichen Umsetzung dieser Pläne wird schon gearbeitet. Datenschützer schlagen Alarm. Sie befürchten durch die Pläne einen nie dagewesenen Einschnitt in die Privatsphäre eines jeden EU-Bürgers."

“Providing this data as input for Lavender undermines their claim that is a private messaging app,” he wrote. “It is beyond obscene and makes complicit in Israel’s killings of ‘pre-crime’ targets and their families, in violation of international humanitarian law and Meta’s publicly stated commitment to human rights.

Meta Platforms removed hundreds of Facebook accounts associated with covert influence campaigns from China, Israel, Iran, Russia and other countries after seeing threat actors rely on AI to produce fake images, videos and text to try to influence users. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/30/companies/meta-ai-campaigns-china-israel/ #business #companies #meta #facebook #instagram #whatsapp #china #israel #misinformation #socialmedia #deepfakes #ai

Je crois que ma prochaine méthode pour faire comprendre que je n'utilise plus , ce sera de répondre à un message écrit WhatsApp... Par SMS.
Ça passe crème avec certaines personnes.

Et après je pense qu'on peut expliquer Signal.

#ICQ will turn off soon. I grew up with it’s weird aoooo and still know my quite long ID by heart. It was sensational, in contrast to the other, hacky (also cool) #IRC.

It was the first DM app I and everyone around me used and loved. #WhatsApp never came close.

"This undisclosed WhatsApp vulnerability lets governments see who you message."

And when it comes to metadata, unfortunately - that's by design.

"Metadata — information about the who, when, and where of conversations — has come to hold immense value to intelligence, military, and police agencies around the world."

End-to-end encrypted messages isn't all you should seek out from any app that claims to be private.

Report Indicates Israel Uses WhatsApp Data in Targeted Killings of Palestinians
“By using WhatsApp, people are risking their lives,” one human rights advocate said
https://truthout.org/articles/report-indicates-israel-uses-whatsapp-data-in-targeted-killings-of-palestinians

Palestinian digital rights group Sada Social accused Meta, which owns WhatsApp, of fueling "Lavender" artificial intelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave

I've used for several weeks now across , , , , and it's been a great improvement to the messaging mess:

• I've actually had an easier time keeping up with Slack than in Slack itself
• Initially I ran clients side by side but Beeper updates just as fast and I've since stopped running most except for Discord which I use for calls
• Even so, it's great to run it in parallel to Discord, because it's easier to text chat in Beeper while in a video call

@finestructure@mastodon.social avatar

Another huge plus of Beeper is that when you set it up on a new machine that’s a •single• login to get all your chats set up.

Just saved me faffin about with 5 service logins to get everything up and running 👌

According to #SadaSocial, there is an urgent need for an immediate investigation into #Meta's leak of #WhatsApp users' #data to the #Israeli #military.

The group diligently observes the collective dissent voiced by numerous Meta employees, encompassing #Facebook, #Instagram, WhatsApp, #Messenger, and #Threads, regarding the Meta #company's complicity in the #genocidal war against the #Gaza Strip, its endorsement of the Israeli occupation, and its fueling of the "Lavender" #artificialintelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill #Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave.

#India #Politics #Elections #WhatsApp #Disinformation #Propaganda: "India’s ongoing elections are the world’s largest in history, with almost 1 billion people eligible to vote. They are so big that voting is being conducted in waves from April 19 to June 1. The BJP, which has been in power for 10 years, is widely expected to win. But in the process, both Modi’s administration and his electoral campaign have been criticized for stirring hate against Muslims and increasing polarization.

As millions of Indians vote, many of them will turn to WhatsApp for information. India is the Meta-owned app’s largest market, with 400 million active users — more than a quarter of the country’s population. India’s last general elections, in 2019, were labeled the “WhatsApp elections” because of the platform’s prevalence and influence. In 2024, politicians are redoubling their focus on the app.

Kiran Garimella, an assistant professor at Rutgers University who researches WhatsApp in India, told Rest of World the app reaches people that other platforms don’t, including remote communities. “There are a number of people in India who only use WhatsApp,” he said.

The scale of the BJP’s WhatsApp operations is incomparable to that of any other political party in the country." https://restofworld.org/2024/bjp-whatsapp-modi/
