I’ve been supporting Apple products since 1988. What have you been doing?
People sure get offended when they're reminded of the harm they're doing from continued use of Twitter.

This week Biden forgave federal student debt for 804,000 borrowers. A judge upheld the decision—proving yet again that Biden has authority to cancel student debt.

Furthermore—if we can bail out Wall Street with $10T & cancel $2.1T in billionaire taxes & cancel $800B in PPP loans—then we can cancel $1.7T in predatory student loans.

We've bailed out corporations and billionaires long enough. Let's elevate working people.

@LeelaTorres @autonomysolidarity As far as I know it's just the UK. Representatives from Signal & WhatsApp were on the news recently saying that they can't just create a backdoor for the """"good guys""" (needed extra quotes) if there's one there anyone determined could use it. So given that privacy 🔏 is their main selling point it would mean they just have to stop service.
@autonomysolidarity If you think this doesn't affect you please bear in mind that WhatsApp, Signal & Wikipedia have all publicly declared that they will remove service if the bill passes.

@autonomysolidarity
No really. Only on UK. I am not going to relax my security standards because they went coo coo.

If they cannot open my messages, so be it

@autonomysolidarity After thinking about it, I think the tech companies that might be affected should go offline for a couple of weeks leading up to the vote. That should get the discussion started in earnest 😊
@autonomysolidarity I'm hoping the tech companies will do the right thing, pull their products from the UK market. This is the time to take a stand on encryption with zero back doors. The final result of the actions in the UK will be the roadmap going forward. One might be that tech resists and exits the market, leaving the citizens worse off that they were before. The citizens revolt, and force their government to change the decision. The other is that tech folds, and we all lose.

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a "utopian socialist." He lies about being a "free speech absolutist." He lies about which companies he founded:
