"Parents who find Signal on their child's phone should contact the police." - Petra Lundh, Sweden's National Police Commissioner

I don’t know what’s worse: if they actually believe this, or if they’re deliberately trying to fool the masses. Both are terrifying.

Framing a basic right to private communication as a danger isn’t just careless, it’s harmful.

What’s next? Criminals drive cars, call us if you see one.

Few tech things are as annoying in my daily life as the fact that #signal has no web client, no watch client, and that it insists on phones to be exclusive to one installation.

Some of that is security (lack of browser app) but some is just a design decision I wish I realized earlier before I nudged my family to move clients...

ugh. i'm really annoyed that my work is forcing me to download whatsapp onto my personal phone for communications... like, isn't that why we have microsoft teams and outlook? i asked if we could use signal but was *seriously* told that "signal just isn't as cool as whatsapp."

I try to model good tech hygiene, so when people want to have a private online conversation, I do two things:

1. I let them know my only chat app is @signalapp, and explain why I use it (free, encrypted, secure, I value my privacy), and tell them we can talk there if they want.

2. I give them the link, and tell them that I trust them not to download any old thing off the internet just because someone recommended it. They can take their time for due diligence & let me know.

#censorship is a thing on the modern internet, more so than ever with west and east clashing in #imperialist_wars . We, the people, need to keep in touch with those on the other side of the fences.

#Signal has announced Censorship Circumvention. This lets users in areas were Signal is blocked still use it through masking and proxies. There is hope forks of Signal such as #SessionMessenger may follow.

In the name of #privacy and #security , here is how to activate it:

@soldan por lo que entendí, de algún artículo random que encontré hace un tiempo, por ejemplo whatsapp, va a desencriptar el mensaje, lo pasa por si IA en busca de "cosas raras", si esta todo ok, encripta nuevamente y sigue su curso... caso contrario, estas en el horno.
Lo jodido es que acá no se si somos conscientes de que si esto sale en la UE, va a suceder lo mismo aquí, solo que sin avisarnos seguramente.
