WhatsApp war schon immer ein Datenschutz-Desaster. Mit der Einführung der Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung waren zumindest die Inhalte geschützt – doch das dürfte mit dem neuen KI-Assistenten Geschichte sein. Eine KI, die ständig mithört, konterkariert jede E2EE und macht sie wertlos.

Angriff auf Privatsphäre: Meta-Messenger führen KI-Assistenten in Europa ein

Künftig können Nutzer*innen von WhatsApp und Co. mit einer KI chatten und auch sprechen. Dabei werden ihre Daten mit Meta geteilt. Und ein Test-Feature lässt die KI sogar durchgängig mithören.

New Privacy Guides article 🔒🇪🇺
by @jonah :

With the political changes
happening in the United States right now,

You might be seeking Europe-based tech alternatives to trust your data with.

Moreover, if you are an organization dealing with data from Europeans, it could be wise to start the move for GDPR compliance now, in the eventuality the EU–US Data Privacy Framework it relies on were to change...

Whatever the reason,
you can check some of Privacy Guides' recommendations in this excellent article-list by Jonah: privacyguides.org/articles/202…

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

Experts warned the UK’s recent 'victory' over Apple would kickstart something of a domino effect

Jag är socialist och ogillar det mesta av C:s politik. Men när det kommer till integritet gör de bra grejer

"Men regeringen, som är för Chat Control, lägger nu istället fram ett utkast till lagrådsremiss om precis samma sak – att installera bakdörrar i alla appar och tjänster som gör det möjligt för dig att kommunicera utan att staten eller tjänsteleverantören kan få veta vad du kommunicerar. Så kallade totalsträcks­krypterade tjänster."

Centerpartiet: Bakdörrar i alla krypterade tjänster skapar sårbarheter

DEBATT. När regeringen vill installera bakdörrar i alla krypterade tjänster underminerar de Sveriges säkerhet. Försvarsmakten måste ha tillgång till säkra kommunikationstjänster, skriver företrädare för Centerpartiet.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

Apple appeals the UK government’s order to backdoor its encrypted services.

The fight to save encryption continues. Why? Backdoors are a gift for criminals and predators.

We must keep our personal data and family photos secure. We need encryption.

Apple reportedly challenges the UK’s secretive encryption crackdown

Apple is pushing back against the UK’s “backdoor” encryption order with an appeal to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, according to a report from the Financial Times.

arcanechat.me server reached 1500 users!!!

the server is using around 1GB of RAM, CPU is almost unused, and only 1.4GB of storage used for encrypted user volatile data, that is around 1MB per user on average!

the cost of self-hosting a #chatmail server for #ArcaneChat / #DeltaChat is really low! and you don't even need to trust the server operator or even the VPS provider if you are selfhosting since all is #e2ee and safe against #mitm thanks to the green checkmark in chats

We deserve to live free from persecution. Where this is lacking in the physical world, many LGBTQIA+ people rely on encryption to find community, resources and support.

Attempts to break #e2ee are not only damaging to privacy, but also a security threat.
