@wyatttdw don’t forget the eventual “need” to upload IDs because I’m sure that’s just around the corner
OS level age verification is a ploy by big tech to essentially shift the responsibility of protecting children to the OS level instead of theirs. The funding says so as well. Zuck supports this change. #privacy #liberty #ageverification
@henry while I’m not American, I know this will slowly become the norm. We seem to be approaching 1984 levels of surveillance real quick

Hundreds of scientists say stop! ✋🚹

Governments should pause plans for mandatory #AgeChecks on online services until serious #privacy and #security concerns are addressed.

As countries push to ban children from social media, the risk to everyone’s privacy is growing. 🔐🌍

@PrPl if you want offline, KeePassXC and sync with sync thing or something.

What’s wrong with Proton or Tuta? They are both the leading private email providers.

@fabricepigeard definitely requires some setting changes out of the box. I believe telemetry is enabled by default. But yes, highly recommend Firefox overall. Currently using Zen browser (Firefox engine)
@drajt can’t go wrong with either tbh. Bitwarden would be more straightforward to setup.

hot take: @protonprivacy didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you.

encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been.

Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for.

the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability.

and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa.
