  1. 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.

  2. @ati1 @linmob Depends what the user wants from a personal device, how they use it and what their priorities are. If someone's priorities are a modern camera, running proprietary Android apps and their money is held hostage by banks requiring #Duopoly apps, they should check back later, perhaps when the Librem 5 "Fir" model is released.

    On the other hand, if #FreeSoftware, #privacy, #modularity, #repairability, #ecofriendliness, #decentralisation, #digitalindependence, etc. are valued above other things, the Librem 5 and the higher-spec model, the #LibertyPhone, can absolutely work in 2025 and beyond.

    I am daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything important to me works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid them due to #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, camera with OK quality photos (see: #ShotOnLibrem5), GPS with #PureMaps, web browsing with #FirefoxESR, web apps (including banking) using #GNOMEWeb and #BraveBrowser, email using #Geary and #DeltaChat, audio calls on #SignalMessenger, #Matrix ( #ElementMessenger), #XMPP ( #DinoIM), #JitsiMeet, etc.

    There are occasional bugs and quirks, and the device itself has limitations but nothing that I can't work around.

    Not sure if I missed anything. Let me know if you have a specific use case that you absolutely require and I'll see if I can test...

  3. With Chinese diplomats reportedly admitting to targeting US Critical Infrastructure as a "warning to the U.S. about Taiwan" and some in the industry war-gaming the possibility of Cyber Effects being used to sway the Trade dispute between the US and China, now seemed a good time to do a reality check on how - if at all - China would do so.

    The bottom line - expect a surge in cyber espionage and signaling campaigns targeting US telcos and leadership to provide the CCP a competitive advantage in negotiations and their backdoor dealings.🕵️

    Cyber Security doesn't operate in a vacuum - here's a good example of where geopolitics starts to seep in at the edges: opalsec.io/is-cyber-a-legitima

  4. Laut dem #WallStreetJournal wurden mehrere US #Telekommunikationsanbieter, darunter #Verizon, #AT&T und #LumenTechnologies, Opfer eines Hackerangriffs. Hinter dem #Angriff soll angeblich die chinesische #Hackergruppe #SaltTyphoon stehen. Möglicherweise hatten die Angreifer seit mehreren Monaten oder länger Zugriff auf Systeme, die von der US-Bundesregierung für gerichtlich genehmigte Anfragen zum Abhören von Netzwerken genutzt werden.
