of course they are. capitalism would eventually use the surveillance tech they consistently pushed to surveil. its just that they probably thought they didnt need to before, and now they do. so we are now like frogs still boiling in a pot.

At this point let’s just go back to manually using command line GPG/PGP.

At that point, they just activate the Intel ME and AMD PSP.

We need open source hardware.

Thanks to the NSA, you can disable ME. Several vendors sell them pre disabled

Checkout any laptop running Dashero Coreboot.

Links to disable ME?

Thanks, I didn’t know that community existed

I posted more lenthy comments on the other communities. Here I’ll say this:

When it comes to backdoors to security, there are no good guys. Zero.

Hello ChatControl 👋

Seriously again a ridiculous law… This is a pure non-sense, in theory you should be afraid, in the reality such a law wouldn’t be applied by Signal for example, and you would find alternative to these backdoored apps, such as SimpleX or others… BUT we need to fight against it, it’s a big no go for future privacy! Keep fighting and fuck these guys!

Note : Even if Tuta is concerned it wouldn’t change much… Today gmail is more than 70% of emails so in this case the privacy is equal to 0. Email is not secured at the foundation and with google in the equation, it’s hard to fight against

The problem is when I talk with someone on Signal, I don’t talk about the same things I talk on email… some subjects are more sensitive than others, same goes for files shared etc…

And yea it’s chat control yet again, but under a different name, and this time in France only

Saying it again here: The only infrastructure we can trust is our own.

Even if there are still a number of services that are strongly above average trustworthy, they are ALL under attack in multiple “free” countries.

Sad seeing my country voting yet again for this type of oppressive nonsense

I don’t pay attention to French politics, but from my limited understanding the elections there came down to “asshole everyone hates” and “putins pet”. Sound right or am I missing something here?

Remove the “Putins pet”, they aren’t. American have this one.

Before the Ukraine invasion almost all far-right politicians in Europe were buddies with Putin and got money from him.
