"Daily occurrences of data breach incidents have taught us we cannot trust these services to safeguard our data. Data breaches for this sensitive information are only a matter of time.

The concentration of such valuable data will likely be monetized and resold either by the platforms themselves, by the for-profit third-party "age assurance" providers they use, or eventually by the criminals who stole it from them."

"A hack impacting Discord’s age verification process shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ ID documents. Now the hackers are posting peoples’ IDs and other sensitive information online."

I get the impression that most people don't understand how important metadata such as phone numbers is when it comes to privacy.

For example, by requiring phone numbers, Signal, despite its good encryption, inherently builds a social graph. The server operators, or anyone who gets that data, can see a map of who is talking to whom. The content is secure, but the connections are not.

We've just fought #ChatControl - now Ireland 🇮🇪 wants its own backdoor law. 🔓

But we, together with ~40 orgs, are saying no.

#NoToBackdoors 💪

📡 At Teufelsberg (Berlin) I saw a decayed listening station…my reminder of a world we should not rebuild.

Yet the EU wants to scan EVERYTHING: chats, cloud, mail… 🤯 in the name of safety.
Mass surveillance erodes freedom.

💡If you do one thing this weekend, let it be reading this explanation of ChatControl:

Goed nieuws voor de privacy van iedereen!👍

Er is binnen de EU geen meerderheid gevonden voor #chatcontrole en het voorstel zal niet meer in stemming worden gebracht op 14 oktober.

Voorlopig is chatcontrole dus van de baan en blijft #Signal gewoon in de EU.

Want to send messages and video calls with:

* no installs
* no sign-ups
* no tracking
* end-to-end encryption

This new prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zerodata privacy!

Check out the [testable demo here](https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story).

I am working towards a look-and-feel to match Whatsapp as seen in this [hardcoded UI demo](http://glitr.positive-intentions.com).

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. It is based on the open source MVP see [here](https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat). It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

Does protecting children justify snooping on private messages? That is the sensitive question facing EU countries Wednesday as they wrangle over a push to combat child sexual abuse material online. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/08/world/politics/eu-child-protection-privacy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #privacy #socialnetworks #apps #signal #whatsapp #privacy #childabuse #eu #europe

Even if Germany opposes Chat Control on October 14th, this is still only a blocking minority. If your country is still undecided or is supporting Chat Control, keep the pressure on! 💪🇪🇺

📰 Contact your local media

🗣️ Keep talking about it on social media!

Let's change this blocking minority into a blocking majority! ✊🔒

Today we are adding our signature (and that of our parent company @xwiki) to a new open letter against the so-called "Chat Control" EU regulation. We thank our friends at @Tutanota, @protonprivacy and @mailfence for writing it.
