»Kartellklage: Amazon-Führungskräfte zerstören angeblich Beweise via Signal:
Jeff Bezos, Andy Jassy und weitere Führungskräfte hätten über @signalapp für eine Kartellklage relevante Informationen ausgetauscht und wieder gelöscht, behauptet die FTC.«
Auch deswegen unterstützen die ua unauffällig @simplex finanziell und auch deswegen sehe ich dies kritisch. Ich verweise auf @briar und @cwtch obwohl es bei einigen unbekannt ist.
🧵 …zugegeben im Artikel oben zum Thema @signalapp, geht es auch darum, dass die digitale Kommunikation die Anonymität staatlich wieder entfernt werden will 🤷♂️
Meine aufgelisteten Lösungen @briar und @cwtch sind (noch) nicht populär und auch deswegen (noch) nicht staatlich verfolgt und bekämpft.
🎨 Custom Theme Support! It is now possible to load new themes into the Cwtch UI and customize it to your liking
🖌️ Additionally, this release contains many small UI fixes and accessibility improvements
🐞 Many small bug fixes including improvements to file sharing on Android, and support for newer versions of Tails.
This week we are celebrating 6 years of the Open Privacy Research Society.
We want to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to all of our supporters; without you we would be unable to do the work that we do. Thank you. 💜

Ist @cwtch sicherer als @session ?
Beide Messenger unterstützen dezentralisierte verschlüsselte Peer-to-Peer Chats, #cwtch über Union Routing, während #session Lokinet/Oxen Blockchains nutzt.
Laut der Website ist Open Privacy (im Gegensatz zur Oxen Privacy Tech Foundation) eine Nonprofit-Organisation.
Allerdings gibt es für die https://cwtch.im App noch kein Security Audit?
I would like to request a “hug” button on Mastodon that I can tap when someone posts something sad or emotionally delicate, for when there are no words and tapping a star seems like a weird thing to do.
There's one main thing I like about #BlueSky, #Nostr, #Cwtch, and the in-development P2P-ified #Matrix over #ActivityPub and Matrix as they're generally deployed now: your ID doesn't depend on DNS.
I've not been in the Fediverse very long, but I've already seen people lose their entire social graph because an admin unilaterally took down an instance. When you tie your identity to DNS, you're at the mercy of the domain owner and every point of control over the DNS as a whole, including the court systems in every authoritarian jurisdiction. Not your keys, not your identity.
I like the admins of my instance here, but I see the toll it takes on them running it even with the community's contributions. It's a lot of pressure and a lot of power to have that much control over identity and trust for your users.
I don't think we have to wholesale move to other protocols, though. The beauty of open networks is the freedom to build bridges. When people do migrate between them, it can and should be as smooth as migrating between ActivityPub instances in the happy path, and remain fully interoperable.
