17/ Mastodon exists because centralized platforms made conversation, identity, audience and return dependent on one owner’s infrastructure. People came here for something different: federation, community control, portability, reciprocity and human-scale exchange. That is why the X contrast matters. It gives us a live case of what happens when contribution remains inside the platform but reciprocal return fails. #Mastodon #Fediverse #DigitalRights #SocialMedia #OpenSource

John Oliver just released an incredibly well researched episode about police surveillance technology. He goes thoroughly through all the details, while keeping things at a level that's accessible for regular people to understand. I highly recommend you share this with people who might not otherwise be fully aware of the current state of state surveillance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnBPhelCdWE #surveillance #flock #alpr #bigBrother #news #USPol #EFF #civilRights #digitalRights

Americans! Updates on "Internet Safety" bills: -Hawley and Durbin are trying to sneak the unconstitutional STOP CSAM Act into the FY27 NDAA. Hawley allegedly managed to get it included it in the manager's amendment. This means it has a higher chance than previous attempts at being successful. -Still, there's procedural roadblocks that the bill has to clear to survive until the final passage. The manager's amendment is reserved for uncontroversial amendments. -The Senate Commerce Committee has scheduled a markup for KOSA and the SCREEN Act for Wednesday, August 5th. There are other bills, but they're far less problematic than KOSA and the SCREEN Act. -Senate KOSA's fate in the House is still quite uncertain. The same goes for the KIDS Act's fate in the Senate. -The SCREEN Act's approval among Democrats is unknown at the moment. Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP! #Privacy #Censorship #DigitalRights #FreeSpeech #AgeVerification #ClientSideScanning #Section230 #KOSA #KidsOnlineSafetyAct #US #UnitedStates

«What are digital rights, and why they matter for sex workers»

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y00IbCNsHsM

At ESWA, we often talk about the digital rights of sx workers. But what does this mean, exactly, and why is it so central to our work? Today, we share with you the full backstory.

Explained by the founder and former director of ESWA Digital Rights Programme Yigit Aydinalp and ESWA Policy Officer on Digital Rights Ana Ornelas.

Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

I know ive tried to compress a lot of my journey into one post. The project above is going to be tricky to understand. Feel free to reach out for clarity on any of the details.

IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, It is not audited or reviewedShared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only. Please use responsibly.

As a sysadmin and cybersecurity professional, every single one of my devices has a duress mechanism in place. 🔒💥 Attempt a forced access or coercive search? All data gets wiped instantly, and firmware goes into lock-out. Don't think for a second I won't trigger it. If law enforcement has an issue with defensive privacy controls, tough luck. I couldn't care less. Protect against illegal search and seizure—end of story. 🛑📱 #GrapheneOS #CyberSecurity #SysAdmin #InfoSec #Privacy #DigitalRights #Encryption #FourthAmendment #TechNews

People think a lot about the output they get from AI tools and chatbots. But they don't think enough about the input they give to the AI tools and chatbots. Your input is very likely collected, tagged, evaluated, shared, and reused. Every word, every image, every line of code, every data points you share with them, knowingly or unknowingly. You're not using them. They're using you. #NoAI #Privacy #DigitalRights #MassSurveillance
