Einer der größten Angriffe auf unsere Freiheit soll übermorgen beschlossen werden. Flutet doch mal die Postfächer eurer political party und sagt was ihr davon haltet.

Well. Setting the X-Forwarded-For header to 127.0.0.1 practice to cloak users ips was patched out with the last update https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-c2r5-cfqr-c553 gotta find a new solution. Possibly random private ips but this will end up sending login from new IP messages every new login. #mastoadmin #anonymity

#TunnelVision attack against VPNs breaks #anonymity and bypasses #encryption https://www.ghacks.net/2024/05/07/tunnelvision-attack-against-vpns-breaks-anonymity-and-bypasses-encryption/ In a surprise to no one, the attack has worked against all non-Android OSes since 2002. #Windows #VPN

“Australia’s spies and cops want ‘accountable encryption’ - aka access to #backdoors”

“he outlined an argument that a dynamic tension exists between security and technology, Burgess added “encryption protects our #privacy and enables our #economy…and creates safe spaces for violent #extremists to operate, #network and #recruit.” #Burgess labelled encryption “clearly a good thing, a positive for our democracy and our economy” because it “protects #privacy, it enables communications and transactions.” But he noted it also provides #criminals with #anonymity, which is why #Australia has laws that make it possible to access encrypted messages.”

The previous and current government claimed that #SIMreg / #SIMregistration will solve the #scams and #spams via #SMS.

Then what is this?

Is #SIMregPH law a total failure, or maybe, the government is?

I found today a new (for me) free & secure #crossplatform messaging app called #TeleGuard by #Swisscows (based on #Switzerland).

My initial reaction: it is #Signal + #Telegram combined.

What do you think?

Torrenting #patches and updates over #I2P, is probably the closest thing to anonymous contribution.

The firewall that blocks #CAGEMAFIA, namely DigitalFeudalismCounterAction, was first distributed by #torrent, iwrc. Though I think the torrent tracker may have other issues based on what we've discussed above.

#Twitter recently obtained a subpoena compelling #GitHub to provide identifying information on a user who posted portions of the social network's source code, giving the company until April 3 to provide details on user "FreeSpeechEnthusiast".

Wait. I thought the #SIMregistration is the solution to SMS spams and scams, sacrificing the #privacy #security and #anonymity of the people, especially those who needs it.

So, what in the world is this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What the? Are you kidding us?

“DICT’s ‘Project: SIM Check Mo’ puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks”

“The project lets any mobile user to text “SIM Check” plus the phone number of any subscriber to 1326 (DICT’s hotline), and they will receive the registration status of the number, the initials of its owner, and if the record of the number is in good standing.”

‘“Project: SIM Check Mo” is a “solution” looking for a problem that it can eventually become. Already, foreign numbers such as Malaysian ones are being used to spread spam and scam messages to Philippine mobile subscribers. SIM Check Mo simply cannot address that. As such, this project will be a failure from day one.’

“NTC, telcos checking legality of deactivating apps, services for unregistered SIM users”

"Let's say after the 60 days, you will lose your access to your Facebook accounts or our TikTok accounts, but you still can use your phone, you can still call, you can still text. And then after a certain period, you will lose your outgoing calls," Uy explained.

The official said the same tactic has been implemented in other countries.

In India, a number of Chinese mobile applications, like TikTok, are banned due to security concerns.

BOOM!

“The National Telecommunications Commission said Wednesday it did not give permission for telcos to use emergency alerts to remind their users to register their SIMs.”

"The SIM card registration is an invasion of privacy and the alert warning for this is not the disaster I envisioned when I authored the bill," Colmenares said.

They should be penalized for it. They can use the money they are charging people for manually helping them register their SIM cards. ^_~

“While we understand the importance of addressing crimes, misinformation, and scams, the Mozilla Philippines Community firmly believes that the policy neglects the critical role of online anonymity in safeguarding whistleblowers and promoting public discourse. Additionally, the deployment of digital identity systems may create security risks that could have catastrophic effects in the event of a data breach.”
