“All your base belong to us” Time you all see the current signs of an epic run for all of your data. This doesn’t mean your information on Apple is safe or secured. Time to run from all of the big tech companies that are easy government targets. Remember it’s not all about what you are texting to your friends. It’s ALL about the meta data. #apple #meta #google #amazon #privacy #uspol #ukpol

Is Discover important for your business? Heads-up. The latest One UI update rolled out to my Samsung Galaxy S23 and swiping right now DOES NOT show Discover. It only shows Samsung News and I cannot find a way to revert that... It used to be an option, but now ONLY Samsung News is the option. Could impact visibility of your articles showing in Discover. I'll try to see if this is a bug with the rollout... Stay tuned.

#Google hatte versichert, sich nicht an #Grenzüberwachung zu beteiligen - eine Lüge. Der Konzern spielt eine tragende Rolle beim "virtuellen" US-Grenzzaun zu Mexiko, etwa mit #MAGE-KI um Menschen und Fahrzeuge zu erkennen. Ebenfalls beteiligt: IBM und Equitus.

If you're using #GMail and you've learned about their latest claim to introduce real end-to-end #encryption: it's a lie.

Google has the control and/or you can't do anything against that Google takes control any time.

Real #E2EE works differently: only the sender and receiver are able to access the protected content.

#Meta also defined E2EE such that the message is encrypted from the sender to them, processed in clear text and re-encrypted for the transmission to the receiver.

Don't let them fool you with false claims and wrong definitions.

Just to be clear: If #Google decides it’s okay to no longer send non-Gmail users the ACTUAL #email, but only a LINK to some bullshit #proprietary service that you must click to “unlock” the TRUE contents, then Gmail ceases to be an email provider but is merely a spam service which bullies unsuspecting users into using their proprietary crap.

While this seems to be limited to (fake) E2E for now, I’m afraid it could get worse if people do not resist.

I know why I don’t use #Gmail.

#Google has an “interesting” interpretation of E2E #encryption:

"When the recipient is not a Gmail user, Gmail sends them an invitation to view the E2EE email in a restricted version of Gmail. The recipient can then use a guest Google Workspace account to securely view and reply to the email."

That's just a shameless attempt by Google to make e-mail proprietary by forcing Gmail into our lives.

Reject all such invitations. This shit must be fought ruthlessly.
