#EdDavey, Ldr of the #UK’s Liberal Democrats:

“#JDVance & his mates clearly aren't fit to run a group chat, let alone the world's strongest #military force. It has to make our #security services nervous about the #intelligence we're sharing with them.”

“#Trump's #WhiteHouse can't be trusted. Their reckless approach to security means it's only a matter of time before British intelligence is leaked.

“The Govt must urgently review our intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US.”

Here is a collectively curated list of non-US-based alternatives to popular services, because it is time to prioritise our privacy, security, and digital sovereignty. Anyone know of others like this?

This is a friendly reminder that if you live in the United States or for some reason have to visit, you should turn OFF face ID and/or biometrics on your phone.

They ARE searching phones for any and all dissent against the fascist regime.

They CAN make you open if it your phone is just locked with face ID or fingerprint.

If it's locked with a password you at least have a chance to say nothing but LAWYER.

People talk a lot about hypothetical security and privacy situations, but the most important things you can do are the basics.

Turn off devices as needed.
Turn off location services always - only on when needed.
Get rid of always-on home and mobile assistants.
Stop using biometrics to unlock devices.
Take off your Ring Doorbell and cameras.
Use a password manager.
Use Proton or other encrypted mail.
Use cash.
Delete apps that spy.
Lock your SIM.

Tell me I'm reading this blog post wrong. It reads as if Cloudflare is admitting to reading the login credentials of users of sites that use Cloudflare.

"Our data reveals that 52% of all detected authentication requests contain leaked passwords found in our database of over 15 billion records, including the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) leaked password dataset."

"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.

This is what #Ukraine's former #nuclear shield looked like, which it gave up in exchange for security guarantees - for free, with nothing in return.

And now one of the "security guarantors" is waging a full-scale war against Ukraine, while the other is demanding that it hand over territory and natural resources in exchange for further "#security guarantees".

Thank you #america.
Thank you #trump.

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