I suggest adding"❌ Suppression of Tor users (in my opinion by Tuta)"to the right side.

I tried to create an anonymous Tuta account when I was living in a dictatorship and I remember it didn't work.

I was using Tor because I didn't want to be abducted into a concentration camp (euphemistically called "jail") by the dictatorial regime in retaliation for legitimate and legal exercising of my human and constitutional right to free speech I was planning using that account.

I strongly suspect the reason it didn't work was because IMO Tuta was suppressing Tor users.

Due to this,my work in publishing public domain legal norms the regime was trying to hide,was greatly slowed down and made difficult.

When Tuta is writing like this,in my opinion it is hypocrisy.

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.

Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.

Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.

For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

I built pagevault, a tool that turns any file into a self-contained encrypted HTML page. PDFs, images, whole websites, encrypted into a single .html you can email or host anywhere. Decrypts in the browser via Web Crypto API, no backend needed.

Chunked encryption handles 100+ MB files without choking the browser. Each chunk gets its own script tag, decrypted sequentially, then removed from the DOM for GC.

FBI agents reportedly failed to access a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone after a raid — the device was in Apple’s Lockdown Mode. 🔒
Court records suggest the feature effectively blocked access, highlighting limits of digital forensics vs. user privacy. ⚖️

FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled

Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

🔐 Data Privacy Day reminder:

The #Microsoft and #BitLocker case showed that encrypted data can still be accessed — not because encryption failed, but because keys were stored with the provider.

Encryption only works if you control the key. Otherwise your data is accessible.

📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

🔑 This is a key development. We, along with hundreds of experts, have criticised this part of the law for undermining the presumption of innocence and posing an existential threat to #encryption.

Although the Fediverse is much better than Big Tech for your privacy, no communication here is end-to-end encrypted, and all your Mastodon public and quiet-public posts can be seen by anyone on the internet.

For sensitive communications, you should only use trustworthy applications using end-to-end encryption.

Should the messenger Signal have paid features?


This new paid feature promises secure, encrypted backups for messages and files.

see: news.itsfoss.com/signal-secure…

Signal is #free #software and has so far been completely free of charge and financed by donations and sponsors. Is it ethical to finance FLOSS through paid features? Is it then still #FLOSS at all or just #capitalism? Isn't this driving the #digital divide for those who can't afford it?
