@arstechnica If you dont want to be charged for piracy don't post pirated material on accounts linked to you, use #tor or private social media/messengers like #simplex

Countering toxicity and fake takes is not just a technical question (moderation, admins etc) but one of social curation both collectively and privately: which people and groups do you/we trust for what. No tool can automate that.
#deltachat is for private e2ee messaging and mutually curated group chats, and not random social media propelled onboarding. We are with #Signal here and not with #simplex and #matrix who offer public anonymous discovery of large chat groups with lots of unknown folks.

@fdroidorg the dev of #simplex is an absolute nogo. So it is an ethical and humanitarian question. For me: No way to only think about simplex!

Today - 25 July - is the deadline for user-to-user services subject to the UK's Online Safety Act to have "highly effective age assurance" in place for UK users, if the site's content requires it. (Not all sites/content require age assurance.)
Please be careful, especially if you are in the UK.
Think before handing over ID documents, and be especially mindful of mistyped URLs and other scams, trying to obtain your personal data for phishing or blackmail purposes.
@neil Im concerned how this will affect decentralised social media like #simplexhttps://simplex.chat #briarhttps://briarproject.org & #cwtchhttps://docs.cwtch.im these services r so decentralised there aren't even servers that facilitate users directly its more like a participatory network infrastructure, its undeniably user-to-user but what are they going to do charge every simplex relay operator? Or every node in a briar mesh? Or r group moderators liable instead?
You know what to do 😉

Trop de bruit avec Signal : les métadonnées en cause dans les messageries chiffrées
#Signal est régulièrement désigné comme LA meilleure application de messagerie sécurisée. Pour autant, cette supériorité universelle et présentée sans nuance relève d'un manque de finesse de l'analyse. Pire, elle met en danger les journalistes et leurs sources, les activistes et certaines minorités. Nous voyons pourquoi dans cet article.

@davidgerard why is #simplex anti recommended, I don't agree with the founders views either I think theyre dangerous but can't we just run our own relay servers and moderate them how we like? In terms of the protocol I don't think there is any messenger more secure against state adversaries
Hey @simplex is this really your founder? 👀
