@intrepidhero @ike >Signal is a good thought. I don't know enough about its design to say whether its end-to-end encryption would hold up to a MITM on an untrusted network.Sure, just as long as you verify the "safety numbers" and keep them verified. As per normal...Everything does TLS these days so there would not be much of a difference if you are specifically concerned about surveillance of "the last mile" network.

What are your favorite takes on privacy? Just heard a good one: "A place with a lot of security and no privacy is called a prison." Also, that there is a reason why we have privacy for elections. #privacy

@jonsnow Yeah, the toxicity of other people means that if I post under my real name/photo, I get hideous things said to me because of my phenotype. No thanks.

@Olly42 You assume the Contact Picker fully protects privacy, but it still lets apps know when and how often you select contacts.

@JohnSullivan @Em0nM4stodon Just force everyone to use postcards for ALL correspondence.

@openrightsgroup It would be convenient to apply all culpability to The USA, in this increasing emergency. But the fact of more authoritarian autocracies around the world, looking to monopolize vital root infrastructure, like #datamining, is clearly on the rise. The wealthiest are hedging their bets that #globalization is more prone to a more classical collapse, than just a normative correction or contraction. Worse, they're not educating the public nor working with ethical representation in governments, for more eloquent and #sustainable correction.
