    It’s often hard to get a sense of how well you are protecting your privacy online, but today in the mail my partner received two home loan spams from different banks that she could link to her recent browsing of Zillow to help a friend move. 😒

    I’m currently donating monthly to both Wikipedia and Signal through my company's donation matching platform.

    This means I keep receiving both Wikipedia and Signal’s pleas for donations. On one hand, if they had automatically matched my professional identity to my respective personal accounts, I would be horrified at such a #privacy violation. On the other hand, it would be marginally more convenient for me.

    Hm.

    #France allows police to remotely activate people's devices to spy on them. There's no chance this won't be used to thin out support for policies they dislike, our maybe to stop opponents of some large corporation from organizing. We all know that data collected and stored is only used for its originally specified purpose.

    Forty US states get almost $400,000,000 in #Google location #privacy lawsuit https://nu.federati.net/url/288931 [www thecentersquare com]

    They spin this as a win, but (1) it wasn't the states' privacy that was being violated, so why is all the money being split by the states?, and (2) it says Google will make its settings more clear, but it does not say that location tracking and data sales will be OFF by default (which is how it should be).

      Signal is to privacy what duct tape is to a broken item - it solves your issues and concerns, but you shouldn't expect it to last. Instead, consider Matrix.

    This pretty mild take in my opinion is the reason why I moved from a free Gmail address to a paid @Fastmail plan. I don't know if they are selling me out like Google has been reported to do, but at least they have less of an economic incentive to do it. #privacy

    This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.

    However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1347217810368442368 as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.

    Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
