Meredith WhittakerThis is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.
If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

Also, a reminder for everyone the many ways that Meta and their properties are not to be trusted.
EDIT: Let me add that Mastodon is not encrypted either--including DM's. It is upfront and open about that fact and you should not use social media for any sensitive exchanges.
Hudson@rorystarr @Mer__edith This is needs to be repeated often and everywhere.

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)@HudsonHutton 💯. I do repeat it often! My post looking at threats to privacy if Meta federates with the #fediverse has a big public service announcement up front:
"Please do not use #Mastodon or other fediverse software for confidential or secret information. Don't use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other social network either. Use Signal or some other encrypted messaging system."
And my post on activism says something similar!
Yep. I even use SIgnal for routine conversations with most friends (except for a few laggards who stay on SMS).
Of course, what happened to this mother and daughter is still appalling. It's a horrible law -- and shame on Facebook for not providing end-to-end encryption for "private" messages.
