    Don't use the #Brave #browser, especially if you're #privacy -conscious.

    ♲ @jae@mastodon.tedomum.net: 1. Shitty crypto scam embedded into it (BAT)
    2. Whitelists privacy breaking scripts (brave.com/script-blocking-exce…)
    3. Embedded "Brave Today" in new tabs which can't really be completely disabled and makes a shit ton of requests, including tracking ones

    Google started editing people's e-mails in GSuite, replacing links with a link through google.com:https://mobile.twitter.com/sneakdotberlin/status/1317734739537653760https://twitter.com/tblodt/status/1317875714981416962?s=20

    This means that Google will track a click on a link *in e-mail* even if you're using an external client.

    I am *guessing* this is under the pretext of phishing protection, but it actually *creates* additional phishing risk for text-only clients, since now all links are google.com links.

    By demanding encryption backdoors, Politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. Here's why: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

    1. Why Any Backdoor Would Be a Threat to Online Security.
      from Tutanota
      In regular intervals, Politicians demand that companies add backdoors to their end-to-end encrypted cloud services to enable law enforcements to easier persecute criminals. This demand ignores that any backdoor to encryption poses a severe threat to online security in general. This post explains why a backdoor is - and will always be - a stupid idea.
