From #LouisRosmann: “Here's proof the DMCA needs to be reformed or abolished.”
Repealing #DMCA1201 is another easy winning position for any non-sellout #Democrats with the courage and integrity to put the People's interests before the interests of rapacious monopolist #oligarchs. There's almost certainly not one remaining Republican candidate who's not too venal to take this stance, and it would win support of a lot of the "digital native" aged majority-white and majority-male tech enthusiast crowd, many of whom voted Republican last time, without alienating any other significant voting demographic (where technofeudal broligarchs, numbering fewer than the "likes" on this one video, count as insignificant).
Combine this necessary #rightToOwn legislative correction with #rightToRepair, a #privacy bill that would kill the data broker industry (which itself is a national security threat, as well as another winning issue with tech enthusiasts), protection of #E2EE (which would prevent the next #saltTyphoon, as well as being another winning issue with tech enthusiasts), and opposition to show-your-papers bills (the falsely so-called #ageVerification bills promoted by Meta to kill competition), and you already have a winning platform for this set of swing voters.

Den britiske 🇬🇧 regering har svækket de foreslåede cyber-sikkerheds-regler for tele-operatører efter intens lobby-virksomhed fra branchen
Regeringen foreslog reglerne i kølvandet på #SaltTyphoon hacks
Ifølge The Record hævdede tele-kommunikation branchen, at reglerne manglede praktisk anvendelighed og indførte unødvendige omkostninger

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/116624758108693920
If we can have one Liberal MP cross the floor to the #CPC, #NDP, Bloc, or even #GPCanada, or any two break ranks with the Liberals on this one issue, and thereby defeat #BillC22, it is not an overstatement to say that would help preserve the rights of Canadians, the lives of undercover #RCMP officers (who need the haystack of popular usage of the same comms), the safety of abuse victims and survivors, the integrity of Canadian democracy, and the sovereignty of #Canada. #E2EE is truly that important.
Every mandated communications surveillance system gets breached, and every time, it costs lives, destroys investigations, facilitates broad-scale cybercrime, helps abusive stalkers hunt their exes, and gets abused to persecute citizens for nonviolent political dissent, justly necessary whistle-blowing, and even opposition to powerful corporate interests.
For example, the #SaltTyphoon breach in the US spoiled many active investigations and led to the #FBI recommending all citizens and businesses use #Signal, which is also relied upon for international diplomacy, hence for the national security of Canada and our allies. #C22 would force @signalapp to cease operation in Canada.
Speaking of corporate interests: C22 is a not a bill to protect Canadians. It is a bill to subject Canadians to the #Palantir panopticon, and through which, by way of the #CloudAct, to grant the Trump regime access to Canadian's private lives and privileged communications.
Don't let paternalistic patriarchal politics sell out Canadians' security and right to privacy.
Information about you is power over you. The only correct balance is therefore maximum transparency for governments to citizens, and maximum privacy for citizens from governments. Democracies do not rule, nor seek to rule; they represent, and seek to serve.
If C22 is not scrapped, I will vote on this issue.

Can anyone from the @signalapp team, the @eff, or #cdnpoli (maybe Hon. @Paulatics?) offer insights on how to best frame opposition this anti-privacy (anti #E2EE) #SaltTyphoon serving bill for Parliamentarians of each party?
It is essential to Canadian's rights and security that bill #C22 be defeated.

Banning New Foreign #Routers Mistargets Products to Fix Real Problem
#FCC cited “security gaps in foreign-made routers” leading to widespread #cyberattacks as justification for the ban, mentioning the high-profile attacks by #China's advanced persistent threat actors Volt, Flax, and #SaltTyphoon. In addition to being far too broad, it won’t even affect many vulnerable devices that are most active in these types of attacks: #IoT and connected #smarthome devices.

@as400 @khalid @postmarketOS I'm daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and I've tested reliable voice calling successfully with multiple carriers in two counties. Also, tested with #PureOS.
Owners of older units may need to upgrade modem firmware and enable VoLTE manually. The real problem in my limited knowledge is carriers are blocking devices which are not on their 'approved list' or which they think are not VoLTE capable.
Another, bigger questions is: why are people still using unencrypted legacy voice calls for personal communications in 2026?
