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.

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?

Norway’s PST has confirmed Salt Typhoon activity affecting Norwegian organizations, citing exploitation of vulnerable network devices within critical infrastructure environments.
The 2026 assessment frames cyber operations as China’s primary intelligence vector, while noting that Russia remains the most significant overall threat due to sustained espionage, infrastructure mapping, and hybrid operations. The report reinforces the convergence of cyber tradecraft with influence and HUMINT activity.
For defenders, the findings highlight the importance of network device visibility, cross-sector intelligence sharing, and long-term monitoring.
💬 What defensive gaps does this assessment expose?

...End-to-end encryption without backdoors is more secure than encryption with backdoors. Communications systems that no government can access are also communications systems that adversary governments cannot access. The tradeoff is between absolute security for everyone, including criminals, and compromised security for everyone, including governments.Salt Typhoon demonstrated that compromised security for everyone means exactly that."

"Salt Typhoon provided the empirical refutation. The backdoors existed. The adversary found them. The surveillance apparatus built for Western law enforcement became an intelligence collection platform for Chinese intelligence.
The policy implications are uncomfortable for governments that have spent decades demanding exactly the access mechanisms that Salt Typhoon exploited.
The resolution is not complex, only politically difficult.

Two former Cisco Networking Academy students have been linked to the Salt Typhoon campaign, which has compromised 80+ global telecom providers. Investigators say the attackers used technical skills learned directly from Cisco’s curriculum to target IOS and ASA devices.
This case reignites debate over whether corporate training programs in politically tense regions may inadvertently strengthen future threat actors.

"Cisco’s Networking Academy, a global training program designed to educate IT students in the basics of IT networks and cybersecurity, proudly touts its accessibility to participants around the world: “We believe education can be the ultimate equalizer, enabling anyone, regardless of background, to develop expertise and shape their destiny in a digital era,” reads the first line on its website.
That laudable statement, however, reads a bit differently when the “destiny” of those students appears to be owning a majority stake in companies linked to one of the most successful Chinese state-sponsored hacking operations ever to target the West—and many of Cisco's own products.
That's the surprising conclusion of Dakota Cary, a researcher at cybersecurity firm SentinelOne and the Atlantic Council, who, like many security analysts, has closely tracked the Chinese state-sponsored hacker group known as Salt Typhoon. That cyberespionage group gained notoriety last year when it was revealed that the hackers had penetrated at least nine telecom companies and gained the ability to spy on Americans’ real-time calls and texts, specifically targeting then-presidential and vice presidential candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance, among many others."

@Sxan I'm not in the US, but #Librem5 works with carrier T-Mobile and Purism's Awesim according to their wiki and forums.
I'm daily driving Librem 5 with #postmarketOS (stable - phosh) and everything critical for my use case works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid both now since #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, basic camera, GPS navigation using #PureMaps, latest apps from #Flathub, web browsing using Firefox-ESR, e2ee messaging and calling using Signal Desktop, DeltaChat, Matrix, XMPP, etc. and of course my most used feature, the headphone jack!
What does not work is recording sound in videos, although recording sound itself using Sound Recorder works, just not in videos.
Correctin: Recording sound in videos does work on L5 both on pmOS and PureOS.

The commission’s Republican chair #BrendanCarr, who voted against the rules in January, calls them ineffective and illegal.
With Carr moving to undo Rosenworcel’s actions, it is unclear how the FCC plans to continue to exercise cybersecurity oversight of telecom carriers.
https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/fcc-cybersecurity-telecommunications-carriers-brendan-carr-eliminate-rules/804259/I am sure #SaltTyphoon and other #APT have packed their bags on gone back to their mother's basements and this isn't an issue anymore.

@Satiah I'm also daily driving a #Librem5 with most important think working for my use case: Volte calls and SMS (although I avoid both since #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, web browsing on Firefox, email, e2ee messaging and calls using #SignalApp, #DinoIM (XMPP), latest apps from Flathub, and of course the headphone jack!
#PureOS offers a solid, stable experience but in case you want to try something else, #postmarketOS (with phosh, KDE Plasma, Gnome, SXMO) and #Mobian also work on the Librem 5.
