Russia says internet shutdowns during the Duma elections were about drone defense. The data says otherwise.
Drone attacks hit 5 regions. Shutdowns hit all 83.
85% of 2025's shutdowns came on days with no drone strikes reported at all. We checked 506 alerts from this spring and summer against actual drone activity. The overlap: 2 of 38 region-time pairs.
So what were the shutdowns actually blocking?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pallenberg/117341852175320796
Meta packt Kamera, Mikro, 5G und KI in ein niedliches Tamagotchi-Gehäuse – und plötzlich soll sich Überwachung irgendwie kuschelig anfühlen. Nee. Gerade bei Meta schrillen bei mir da sämtliche Alarmglocken.
@pallenberg dröselt das im Podcast gewohnt klar auf, ohne aus jeder neuen Technik gleich den Weltuntergang zu machen. Hörenswert.
Bin gespannt auf den zugehörigen Newsletter.

The UPR recommendations Paraguay received (and what was left out)

Apple stopped allowing UK users to enable Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for iCloud in February 2025. People who enabled it earlier may still have it, but Apple says they will need to turn it off to keep using iCloud; it has not published a deadline. Without ADP, categories including iCloud Backup, Photos, and Notes use Standard Data Protection rather than the additional end-to-end encryption ADP provides. Categories encrypted end-to-end by default remain unaffected.
