Chat Control is back, but slightly changed:

❌ No backdoor of encryption
❌ No forced scanning
🚨 But: Age verification (no anonymity)

The update just quietly passed in the EU Council & now needs to be discussed with the EU Parliament.

Will you keep fighting against #ChatControl?

French law enforcement hijacked the servers of companies selling secure phones multiple times and is comparing us with those companies. They've made it clear they expect access to phones and will go after us if we do not cooperate. Cooperating with that means adding a backdoor.

ISPs and cellular carriers will no longer be required to meet minimum cybersecurity standards after an FCC vote Thursday. “This is such a terrible idea. This is rolling out the red carpet for another attack,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @CNET.com. www.cnet.com/home/intern...
Internet Providers Can Monitor Their Own Cybersecurity Standards, Says Trump’s FCC
In what the Electronic Frontier Foundation calls a "terrible idea," the Federal Communications Commission has rescinded the requirement for telecom companies to issue yearly cybersecurity reports.

Damn, France went bananas with the little Napoleon wannabe in charge
We no longer have any active servers in France and are continuing the process of leaving OVH. We'll be rotating our TLS keys and Let's Encrypt account keys pinned via accounturi. DNSSEC keys may also be rotated. Our backups are encrypted and can remain on OVH for now.

France isn't a safe country for open source privacy projects. They expect backdoors in encryption and for device access too. Secure devices and services are not going to be allowed. We don't feel safe using OVH for even a static website with servers in Canada/US via their Canada/US subsidiaries.

Tor Browser’s developers intentionally removed or turned off the AI features recently added to Firefox, explaining that machine-learning tools are “inherently impossible to fully audit” and could threaten user privacy.

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".

For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

Please listen to this podcast about ANOM:

darknetdiaries.com/transcript/1...

The FBI ran a string operation in Europe where they created their own 'secure' phone and messaging platform. Their OS used portions of our code and was heavily marketed as being GrapheneOS or based on GrapheneOS.
ANOM – Darknet Diaries
In this episode, Joseph Cox tells us the story of ANOM. A secure phone made by criminals, for criminals.

So what's next?
- Signal
- Session
- SimpleX

The S trifecta are all currently highly recommended solutions—with Signal being the most accessible of the three. If you need to use Telegram, use it with secret chats and don't trust it for anything overly sensitive.
