Apple listened, and did the right thing.

Thanks to everyone who helped us in this fight—this is a huge win, and a turning point for privacy.

VICTORY! Apple Commits to Encrypting iCloud, Drops Phone-Scanning Plans

Apple announced it will provide fully encrypted iCloud backups, meeting a longstanding demand by EFF and other privacy-focused organizations. We applaud Apple for listening to experts, child advocates, and users who want to protect their most sensitive data.

I can’t be the only one who finds the solution to a #programming issue while busy with other things.

@stux if done with a large enough group sure. But if it’s a rather small group a couple people lying or stretching reality could have big impact on the results.

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email [email protected] if you (or your organization) are interested
