I wish smartphones had a physical "Sensors Off" slider instead of a quick-settings developer tile hidden in the Android developer options. It sucks.

The guy has some guts
Ex-WhatsApp security chief sues Meta, alleging unrestricted internal access to user data, daily account takeovers (100K+), and ignored security warnings. Meta disputes the claims. This raises serious questions.

They're trying really hard to push mass surveillance into law. Wake up, people! If those in the EU don't speak up about this Chat Control madness right now, it will lead to a very dystopian world!
Our private messages should stay private.
In a world where autocrats attack #FreeSpeech, Europe must protect our right to privacy.
#ChatControl would force platforms like WhatsApp or Signal to scan every message and photo we send. That’s not security. It’s surveillance.

The EU’s Chat Control proposal has been stopped, for now, thanks to opposition from Germany and Luxembourg.
But the fight isn’t over.
We’ve been opposing this dangerous attempt to weaken encryption since 2022, and the EU will likely try again.
