#DGSI literally classified using #FullDiskEncryption, @torproject #TorBorwser, #Tails, @protonmail and #VPN's as "suspicious activity" in terms of #terrorism...

I love, that you are linking to a video on peertube, which is developed by framasoft, who are among the most important developers of free software. And are based in France.

They should be proud of their hackers instead of criminalising them...

UK defends plan to demand access to encrypted messages to protect children

British technology minister Michelle Donelan defended plans to require messaging apps to provide access to encrypted private messages when needed to protect children from abuse, which major platforms say would undermine the privacy of their users.

Reuters
@kkarhan @torproject @protonmail Tor is supported by US government, why would France want to ruin it? @Tutanota might be the next.

@ahriboy Unlike @torproject which is sufficiently decentralized that people from the #TorProject can't shutdown #OnionServices [otherwise they would've been forced at gunpoint several times already], #ProtonMail stinks #Honeypot like #CryptoAG did since The Causa Bühler...

In fact @protonmail snitches on users constantly and I'd also not trust @Tutanota in that sense.

Remember: #notYourKeys = #NotYourControl = no effective #E2EE beyond #SSL & #TLS transport encryption!

ProtonMail Sends User IP and Device Info to Swiss Authorities.

@ahriboy Case in Point: @torproject is being used by basically every government at this point and I'd say that those that don't are either criminally incompetent to setup #OpenVPN over #Tor or already have something better, like the #SIPRnet...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIPRNet

@kkarhan @torproject @protonmail it should be required to take a tech and cybersecurity exam for all those politicians. They're literally all boomers who don't know what they're doing

@fosserytech Not only that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM would not only fail the fake certification known as #ECDL, but they knowingly lie and insult everyone that exposes their lies...

Or am I the only one who thinks #Zensursula owes everyone an apology that can change #DNS settings for calling them "hardened pedocriminals"...?

@fosserytech Worse in this case is that it's not politicans but #DGSI field agents...

You know, #french #interior #intelligence.

If these guys get spooked by people being more #TechLiterate then themselves, maybe said agency is more risk than benefit for the #NatSec of #France...

General Directorate for Internal Security - Wikipedia

@fosserytech But speaking of insulting #TechIlliteracy of agencies:

These folks here want to sell "high-security communications" to #Germany's federal government yet their #ComSec is f**ked as they use #Microsoft #Windows, #Exchange and #Zoom.

https://www.xecuro.de/en/solutions

I sincerely hope that @bsi will never certify #xecuro's products, because their #ITsec is nonexistant and claims of "added security on top of Zoom" are just insulting my intellect as a former applicant who denied an offer...

Solutions

Xecuro operates digital systems for the federal government's classified information communication, which enable encrypted voice and video communication and secure data exchange. Our solutions at a glance.

@kkarhan This is in line with our current government trying everything it can to ban protests and ordering the police to violently charge peaceful protesters...

@finalstaticfox Yeah, I see this rapid onset #facism being pushed across the #EU under so blatantly obvious false pretenses that I'm woundering at which point we'll see an #EU-wide uprising...

Because shit like #Le0306 can only radicalize people to get the conclusion that #SystemChangeNotClimateChange is inevitable and the faster and sooner it's done the less painful it'll be...

@kkarhan @protonmail @torproject I wonder how they found out he used all these tools and what was the reason to even look at these people and investigate in the first place.

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment well, besides @protonmail being know to snitch on people, they might've been shoulder-surfing them...

After all, #RossUlbricht got his Laptop snatched when he was in a public library to use it's WiFi...

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment

OFC your question is pretty valid on it's own so either #DGSI still places operatives in #Hackspaces like the one for @LaQuadrature or they f**ked up their #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec and #ComSec...

But then again, kids got accused of "hacking the schools network" for using #Linux...

Also @tails sadly doesn't have any good #UndercoverMode for a long time - unlike say @kalilinux...

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @tails

Which quite wounders me since #Tails also just uses #Gnome - like #KaliLinux - and in theory should be able to just copy and run the same designs...

Personally I'd love to make that happen, but the socioeconomic requirement for Wagework kinda prevents me from having the energy to do so.

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @tails

Needless to say the #ChillingEffect is the far biggest problem, not that people use tech.

After all, people don't get #sus'd of armed robberies and child kidnapping as well as arrested when they drive around in a white boxtruck without any corporate foiljob or back windows...

@kkarhan
Yeah it's pretty strange what happens to some governments. I feel like these kind of things are problems in the west/western Europe.

Here in the eastern part it seems a bit different. We still have corruption of course but in a different way.

And also here in Hungary they don't seem so crazy about checking people. The police officers actually are quite sane here - they have common sense and tend to not really force laws that dont make sense.

I actually have more of a feeling that the Hungarian police is there to protect and not harass people. Anyways my point is not to overpromote central/eastern Europe but I myself am coming from Denmark and it's sad to see the direction this government has been taking with the other western European countries.

@torproject @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @linuxexperiment @tails

@anders

Depends...

#Orban is a #Christofacist POS, it's just that police in Hungary are less able and/or willing to go after people that can lawyer up when they instead can harass queer folks.

But I do so the rampant #cyberfacism as main threat to #freedom, #peace, #democracy and #humanrights.

@torproject @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @linuxexperiment @tails

@kkarhan

Maybe that's true. At least from my perspective Hungary is doing better in terms of freedom. Also I tend to agree more with right wing politics so #Hungary is perfect for me. I agree with many things that #Orban says and does but of course there are things I don't like too, but we take the bad sides with the good sides and calculate the overall image.

For example for pension savings I would place this in #Denmark, not in Hungary because the #Fidesz government doesn't seem to have a great track record with these 😂

So being a citizen of a left wing country, but living in a right wing country is the perfect combination for me because in this way I can enjoy the best from both worlds ✨

@torproject @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @linuxexperiment @tails

@anders @torproject @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment

Basically, it makes a distro like @kalilinux look innocent to the casual shouldersurfer, as it looks like a current version of #Windows or a more harmless #Linux distro like @ubuntu at first glance.

OFC @tails are aware of the issue and are calling out for some maintainer to reintroduce the feature...

@anders @torproject @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment @ubuntu

Basically to do so distros like @tails & @kalilinux change the look and in part feel to be like #Windows10 / #Windows11 or another "innocent" OS by customizing @gnome with different icons, wallpapers and buttons to avoid the whole "OMG THAT'S A HAX0R!" issue...

Oh that's a great idea!

Granted, @gnome #Gnome should make #Themes and customizations as easy as #Windows 7-10 did and allow imprting and exporting settings into a single file...

Not shure exactly why @tails / #Tails can't just copy @kalilinux / #KaliLinux's settings and code in that regard tho...

@anders

But yeah I do shore the same opinion...

I'd rather want my system to look like #Ubuntu, #Apple #macOS or even #ChromeOS...

@kkarhan @torproject @gnome @ubuntu @LaQuadrature @kalilinux @linuxexperiment @tails Yeah that's indeed weird why they can't just do that.

@anders

But there's one case against it - espechally in said case in #France:

For once, we should not allow #TechIlliterates and assholes be allowed to dictate how #tech should look, feel and what we can use.

And furthermore we need to stop the rampant & rapid onset of #Cyberfacism right here and right now, before it becomes normalized to jail people for exercising their #HumanRight to #Privacy and #Security...

I want my #HumanRights and #CivilRights back - all of them that have been axed since 1949 - WITH INTEREST!!!

@kkarhan @torproject
Every time I turn around I run into some attempt to thwart my privacy. Lately it's been a lot of websites that want me to turn off my ad blocker so they can track me... you know companies want all that data-- big numbers, that's what we are.

@dalfen @torproject There's a reason I use #TorBrowser as my default with very, very few exceptions being allowed in my @mozilla #Firefox...

Everyone who blocks #Tor gets shamed, because there is no legitimate reason to do so!

@dalfen but yeah that's tiring...

The #Eshittification with more and more #PoliceState, #SurveillanceState and #DeprivationOfRights has been going on even before I was born and it pisses me off ever since I became concious of #Politricks!

@kkarhan It really is tiring. I have to use a number of browsers with my work and school, but I also will use Tor sometimes.

But the point is, people should be able to use Tor for their privacy... people should be able to be as private as they want to be on the internet, but unfortunately, many on the internet demand to know everything about us.

@dalfen I'd go out on a limb here and extend a quote re: #WebApps only running on #Chrome even further:

"If your Website and Services don't run on any browser - regardless if #VPN, #Tor or whatever #Proxy, then you haven't built a website.

You may have built a Firefox or Chromium WebApp at best..."

@kkarhan @torproject @mozilla

It's about 'security' to them, but really that often means tracking. And also, sometimes it's just about ignorance-- they paint everyone w/ a broad brush like they're up to no good bc they don't understand it.

I can't stand it, honestly... it seems I have to fight constant battles to maintain my privacy.

@dalfen EXACTLY!

Amd the more effort it takes the more it pisses me off harder, because there is no legitimate reason for that shite to be this way...

@dalfen @torproject also #Zensursula.from @EU_Commission still owes me and many, many more people an apology for calling everyone clever enough to change #DNS settings as "hardened pedocriminal" and I think she should be forced to apologize to everyone she insulted that way in person on her own expenses!

@kkarhan @torproject @EU_Commission

Oh that's horrible... I didn't know that happened!

And it's crazy-- people that say that are ignorant. They have no idea what they're talking about. And sometimes that drives fear too... like in the story in one of the comments on that YouTube video you recently posted-- a person said they were using terminal in Ubuntu in a library years ago and someone got scared and thought they were hacking into the library's network 😂

@dalfen yeah...

We're ruled by #TechIlliterates that got voted by #TechIlliterate Voters that all think @torproject's #Tor network is illegal and that there are no legitimate applications to use #TorBrowser for...

OFC they don't care about the fact that these things are obviously not true and they'll go out of their way to neither listen to accept any #Counterspeech or true #info that doesn't reinforce their bs bias.

Seriously, it's sickening and tiring me hard...
