Je crois que ma prochaine méthode pour faire comprendre que je n'utilise plus #WhatsApp, ce sera de répondre à un message écrit WhatsApp... Par SMS.
Ça passe crème avec certaines personnes.
#EU#DMA#WhatsApp#Cybersecurity#Interoperability#Encryption: "Europe’s DMA mandates that interoperability should not weaken security and privacy: “The level of security—including end-to-end encryption where applicable—that the gatekeeper provides to its own end-users shall be preserved across the interoperable services.”
This was always going to be a near impossibility. End-to-end encryption with endpoint assurance clearly only works where the two “ends” can actually be assured, which means—realistically—they are the same. Two WhatsApp or iMessage or Signal apps. DMA envisages a world where Signal messages might be sent to WhatApp users. And that so-called interoperability, by its very nature, breaks that model.
As EFF warned back in 2022, “requiring interoperability without unacceptable tradeoffs in security or privacy is a very high hurdle, one that might turn out to be insurmountable.”
I still have a happy social life and I am totally satisfied with the wonderful communication I have in the #fediverse since 2018. On my own instance. Because decentralisation ;)
(I still miss Google+, apologies if that doesn't fit your agenda ;)
🔒 Meta announces plans for interoperability between #WhatsApp, Messenger, and third-party messaging services, maintaining end-to-end #encryption in response to the EU's Digital Markets Act.
Pakistan has sentenced a 22-year-old student to death over photos and videos he is believed to have shared over WhatsApp. The BBC has the details: https://flip.it/Z-1IVV
Apple su iOS aprirà ai browser non basati su WebKit, Google modifica alcuni risultati di ricerca e disattiva il tracciamento predefinito dei propri utenti attraverso i servizi.
#Meta ha dato un assaggio dei lavori per l'interoperabilità della messaggistica con #WhatsApp e #Messenger.
Global free marketing for #Meta#Facebook#Whatsapp#Threads#Instagram just by having a 2 hour technical #oopsie. Genius! Hundreds of journalists writing articles on "how deep does the Meta rabbit hole go?", "Are we all hostages of Zuckerberg?" and for the tech audience a postmortem that will say something about "unexpected consequences of a manual update" and will get Meta folks speaker slots everywhere! #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
Yesterday, I went to a kid's birthday party, and the mom asked me to send the photos I clicked from my phone. I asked her how to communicate and gave her options between #WhatsApp, #Signal, and #Telegram. But all she had was Apple iMessage.
We settled on sending her pics by uploading them to Mega and sharing the link by email.
This is what #Apple does to its users. Box them into thinking there is nothing beyond what Apple has provided them.
A U.S. court has ordered Israeli #spyware company #NSO Group to disclose the source code and functionality details of its #Pegasus spyware to Meta (Facebook/#WhatsApp).
#Signal negándose a buscar una integración con #WhatsApp es uno de los movimientos más cabezaduras y tontos que he visto. Es la excusa perfecta para robarles usuarios, imagina poder usar Signal, evitar que te espie Facebook, y aún así poder comunicarte con todo el mundo.
Literal esa integración es todo lo que me falta para borrar a WhatsApp.
J’ai répondu à mon syndicat que l’utilisation de #Whatsapp était contraire à la Charte d’Amiens, et que j’étais là pour exproprier les capitalistes, et pas leur donner ma vie privée.
