Yeah, the problem with #Government #surveillance is that some or later they are not the only state actor hitting the citizens.
Every "legitimate" backdoor is a "security through obscurity" attack surface.

Grey-zone warfare and cyber precursor to conventional conflict
Contemporary conflict between State actors is increasingly unfolding in the grey-zone arena, an ambiguous space that lies below…

Russian military intelligence hackers targeted political parties and critical infrastructure as part of an espionage campaign that began last year.

You''re in deep denial if you think the rest of the EU, UK and US aren't also targeted or already victims.
Next time someone gripes about failing to build a wall...

I have been thinking about #gemini #protocol lately and it's #TOFU model in particular. While I understand what they are going for, I think it's still really vurnelable against attacks from the #StateActors. Even if #HTTPS cannot penetrate the block, lack of #certificate alerts user to the tampering.
The system where each #server has something like a #webring of hashes certificates of other #websites and clients would check if site supplies real or fake certificates is interesting, but the system still need #bootstraping (Maybe with the help of something like #TOR or #I2P) and it still has risk of sites being #coerced into hosting #fraudulent certificates and then using them to act as #MITM.
Perhaps system of more reasonable compromises can exist, but I am not sure. -
If you are at all concerned about the rise in #racist #troll #informationsecurity here is an interesting bit of #osint on activity at one of the main sources of #harassment
This graph shows the level of activity at a fediverse site that is blocked on many or most instances and is responsible for a large amount of the attacks on #journalists #BIPOC
The point is that we can expect this trendline to extrapolate into the new year and there will be more #contentmoderation difficulties.
That is not even beginning to factor in #stateactors who undoubtedly will try to cause problems, especially as the #2024election draws closer and closer.
Not entirely sure it exactly correlates to the rise in Mastodon signups but I am sure someone has the comparison data at their fingertips.

September uptick, plateau briefly in late early October, then steady rise in November with some tapering.

CW: violence against women
@calindrome Sadly, it'll be #StateActors doing it to encourage more splits in our society by creating chaotic radicalised groups.
KGB trained operatives like #Putin thrive on chaos, they can use it to recruit people or to generally keep domestic #intelligence agencies, #police, #journalists and #politicians busy with other stuff.
The 2020 #Incel attack in #Canada probably influenced #legislation that will further divide #Liberals and #Conservatives :(

Is there a way to verify the #journalists newly created accounts on #Mastodon are indeed who they say they are?
How do we protect the #community against #trolls and #StateActors?
