CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I'm a bit late to the game on this one. But I work with a lot of journalists who use CapCut for video editing and their terms of service says you are giving them an "unconditional, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable (including sub-licensable), perpetual, worldwide license" to use your content and… I have to imagine most journalists are not aware of that. https://www.capcut.com/clause/terms-of-service

It takes engineering hours to remove a feature. Even if few people use it, why go out of your way to remove it? Meta’s hurting its users. And for what? https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption

Signal's recent disclosure of how little it could share in response to a grand jury subpoena is pretty telling. Its defaults are very strong. But if you want to go further, we have a guide on really how to really maximize its privacy settings. https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/locking-down-signal/

Signal recently released another grand jury subpoena which, as always, basically had nothing interesting to turn over in response. For the requested phone numbers they could only provide the account creation timestamp. https://signal.org/bigbrother/district-of-columbia/

About five years ago we learned that Proton shared the IP address associated with a French climate activist with Swiss police, who passed it along to French police.

Again, Proton is not for anonymity. https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip-address-of-french-activist-after-order-by-swiss-authorities/

This sounds like a killer job for someone who cares about privacy and getting the bag. Help Signal keep doing their critical work. https://jobs.lever.co/signal/68f75269-fe43-4d25-8d82-69439351f14d

Proton is fine if you are looking for encrypted communications between Proton / PGP users. It's important to remember it is ABSOLUTELY NOT for anonymity. In this case, a user was unmasked because Proton had their payment data. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

@Linko Yes. It's cool if it's only on other countries. But also, it's not just on other countries. I mean to say it's everyone. Hope that's okay.

OpenAI is saying, here are the laws that make this decision okay. Then they go on to list a series of laws that creative lawyers are taking advantage of to enact surveillance both internationally, and domestically. I'm not sure this is the kind of defense they think it is. https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/
