Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social, Présidente de @signal.org sur X/Twitter : « Il est impératif, en cette période particulièrement critique, de rejeter les portes dérobées et l'érosion des infrastructures numériques essentielles sur lesquelles reposent la sécurité et la souveraineté. »

NEW: Apple's challenge against the UK's backdoor order is in court today.

But it is just one of a number of attacks on end-to-end encryption this year. France + Sweden made their own threats

Some of the emerging threats are the most “blunt” and aggressive of those in recent memory, experts say

End-to-end encryption by default means “if you show up with a warrant or a subpoena (to Signal), they have almost nothing about you that they can hand over,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @cnn.com.

Et ce qui est valable pour les avocats l'est également pour les médecins, chercheurs, universitaires, journalistes. A bon entendeur…
Pour la dernière fois : utiliser Google Drive (ou autre) pour stocker des fichier perso ou pro c'est s'exposer à de très grands risques. Ici la Cour d'Appel de Paris valide la suppression d'un compte d'un avocat qui stockait des fichier manifestement illicites.

What the heck does anyone do about this? Really, it doesn't get much worse than SoCal: dry vegetation impregnated with its own accelerant where you also get sustained hurricane force winds of zero humidity

The wind gusts are devastating. Truly a hurricane of fire.

These false claims were trumpeted endlessly on TV and in print.

The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention.

This is how disinformation works.
Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?

He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.

And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.
