This is not a drill.

The nightmare scenario for personal privacy in a world where women are stripped of their reproductive rights is coming to pass:

Meta, Google, other tech companies are providing police with evidence to help prosecute women who seek or perform abortions

Facebook, Google give police data to prosecute abortion seekers

Social-media sites are inundated with police requests for user data and may cooperate even if not legally required to, one legal expert told Insider.

@mimsical THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER EVER TRUST ANY CORPORATION!

THEY'LL ALWAYS BE BETRAYED IF THEY DO!!

ALSO: LEARN TO USE PROPER #E2EE aka. #GnuPG & #OpenPGP and no, going to another #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution won't help.

Regarldess if #ProtonMail, #Tutanota, #Signal, #WhatsApp, #Threema, etc.

@[email protected] amd that's why noone.should.trust any #platform with #security or #encryption. Or as @[email protected] once said: " I’m gonna tell you a secret about “logless VPNs” — they don’t exist. Noone is going to risk jail for your $5/mo " - https://mobile.twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968 Also "#LawfulInterception" exists and EVERY SINGLE PROVIDER WILL SNITCH ON CUSTOMERS before risking getting unplugged by regulators and to be hold in contempt for customer's actions.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] @[email protected] And yes, #Thunderbird - which is included in #Ubuntu LTS for over a decade, which is completely free - also does #GnuPG / #OpenPGP transparently. To the point that I've to do more steps to sent an unencrypted eMail, as it defaults to encrypted eMails. https://mstdn.party/@husbandpanda/109974401951231194

@catraxx @mimsical Or did people not expect that #NSAbook / #StasiBook will shaft them harder than #ANØM did when it turned out it was a #honeypot aka. #OperationIronside / #OperationTrojanShield?

NEVER EVER TRUST PLATFORMS!

@kkarhan @mimsical I only wonder when there will be consequences.
