Random thought: "We value your #privacy." is a polite way of saying "we know how much your privacy is worth, and we're going to sell it for as much as we can."

@k3ym0 Using a web browser to access your email means there is no integrity on the javascript that you execute, which means the cryptography is irrelevant and the emails are cleartext. If the emails are cleartext, you are not anonymous.That's it. Do not use a web browser. Do not use Proton.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@skinnylatte/116178918067111125Neutral perspective about the case.Proton, as an organization, has to follow the law and the Swiss court decided that MLAT is valid and Proton should provide information. Every organization and company has to do it. Of course, Proton can say "we don't follow the law", but then the organization will be out of business and executives could be criminally liable for breaching laws.No contents of emails were provided as Proton cannot access them, which this case only confirms. Payment data or recovery data can be provided, following order issued by a Swiss court.Another note: Organizations, including companies, and individuals have to comply with laws and court orders of their legal jurisdiction.#Proton #privacy #security #Switzerland #USA #MLAT #law

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/116178700239265110hot take: @protonprivacy didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you.encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been.Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for.the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability.and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa.#infosec #opsec #privacy #ProtonMail #threatmodeling #monero​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@ned The judge gets it."Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned."They should have been held in contempt anyway. By the time they noticed the glasses, the data already left the building.

Without privacy there is no freedom. Privacy is a fundamental human right.#privacy

Hey #lazyweb I have a pretty high profile client who does some leftist political writing and they'd like to move to a #webhost that won't comply with US government takedown requests for this kind of stuff, anyone have any leads?#privacy

@990000 Those glasses need to be illegal and returned for refund.

@glynmoody not to mention it is just for data collection, not to protect children.
