Use Signal.

This is the #Signal Vs #iMessage Vs #WhatsApp Vs #FacebookMessenger metadata graphic from my @Forbes@twitter.com article on #Apple’s privacy labels…

This is your data and you’re entitled to ask why it’s being collected and processed.

That Zoom shut down accounts and calls where people were talking about Tiananmen Square is bad enough. But you need to understand the subtext: Zoom says that their calls are encrypted and private, and yet they can monitor them.

Those two things are mutually exclusive. This entire video chat system is built on a foundation of lies and backdoors.

There seem to be zine enthusiasts on here, so I'll post some of the "zine reviews" I've been doing for an online comics magazine called Pulp de Luxe~

Dear web developers and admins,
please stop embedding Google's hideous #ReCaptcha into your websites. Its algorithm is faulty, forcing regular users to click dozens or even hundreds of fire hydrants, bicycles, or traffic lights each day. It puts a 'suspicious activity' flag on users who won't obey to Google's business model - such as people who don't sign into Chrome, use anonymity VPNs, or use browser extensions to suppress common tracking mechanisms. Enough is enough. Stop it.

Nice to see several #FLOSS projects offering tools to migrate from closed silos as easily as possible:

- #Matrix added another one to migrate from #Slack: https://element.io/blog/slack-migration/
