Safety Reminder:
Although the Fediverse is much better than Big Tech for your privacy, no communication here is end-to-end encrypted, and all your Mastodon public and quiet-public posts can be seen by anyone on the internet.
For sensitive communications, you should only use trustworthy applications using end-to-end encryption.
Stay safe 💚

💡 Encryption IS online safety 💡
Keeping data secure is key when hackers are skilled at unpicking accounts.
So why does the UK government want to make us unsafe by ordering a backdoor to Apple encrypted services?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.
US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:
🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'
The Home Office must back off ✋

We would like to endorse what @kuketzblog writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users' private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security. 🤦
