New: Group member labels, a way to describe yourself or your role in a group chat, only visible to that group chat.

Label yourself the “Goalie” to your soccer team or “Favorite Child” to your family to stir some drama.

Label yourself

We all take on different roles in relation to our friends, neighbors, family members, and colleagues. Keep those different roles clear in your many Signal group chats by using group member labels, now available in the latest versions of Signal for Android, Desktop, and iOS.

Rather than empowering users to access the services they need in a secure and safe way, the #eIDWallet risks becoming a tool of surveillance and control.

EDRi, @epicenter_works and other digital rights and consumer protection organisations across Europe wrote to the @EUCommission Commission to urge them to amend their plan and ensure that the rights of users are properly safeguarded.

🥳 Court victory against Meta 🎉

Today, a Dutch judge ruled in favour of EDRi member @bitsoffreedom of Freedom in the appeal vs. Meta.

Facebook and Instagram users will be free to choose how information appears in their feed - and not be forced into algorithmic timelines - will remain intact.

But the fight isn’t over as Meta is still ignoring these rules in other European countries.

💪 We will keep pushing to make sure the law is respected everywhere.

Several European countries are considering social media bans for children. We must regulate platforms, not children. We must shift the burden of safety from the children to the corporations that profit from the environment.

I urge caution:
✅ Focus on "safety by design"
✅ Demand algorithmic transparency
✅ Enforce the #DSA & #HumanRights standards
✅ Consult experts, civil society and children

Speaking as a parent my current opinion on internet age verification laws is that after the state starts putting the Epstein class in prison en masse then maybe we can start taking anything else they say about protecting children seriously.

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.
