Under penalty of perjury, we submit that the RIAA is authorized to act on behalf of its member companies on matters involving the infringement of their sound recordings, audiovisual works and images, including enforcing their copyrights and common law rights on the Internet.

Telegram: the devastating verdict at heise.de - an analysis

The scathing verdict on Telegram bei heise still causes indignation. We explain why WhatsApp is worse. A guest commentary.

The devastating contribution of the editor Jürgen Schmidt caused a veritable wave of indignation in many cases. heise online presents Durows Messenger as a real "data protection nightmare". Even Zuckerberg's market leader WhatsApp works much more effectively when it comes to protecting the privacy of its users, Schmidt argues. Instead of presenting Telegram as a refuge for hackers, conspiracy theorists, right-wing radicals and other cyber criminals, heise took a closer look at the security aspects of Telegram. Our guest author shrugg1e took a closer look at the argumentation.

Is Telegram really a privacy nightmare?

At the end of November an article about the popular Messenger Telegram was published on the news portal heise.de. Within a few days, almost 1,100 (!) comments accumulated there. The article obviously hit a sensitive nerve. So let's take a closer look at the published theses. By the way, just one year earlier, the same editor had publicly demonized WhatsApp at heise for disclosing far too much data to third parties.

Help us kick Bezos in the dick - Boss Baby Bezos is at it again!

Amazon opened a union busting website for people to report workers unions.
So lets do the world a favor and waste Jeff´s time, money and live energy (i hope) by spamming his website with bogus reports.

Eat shit, Jeff.

Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal

Just over a week ago, we announced that Iranian censors had started blocking all Signal traffic in the country. As an interim solution to help people in Iran get connected again, we’ve added support in Signal for a simple TLS proxy that is easy to set up, can be used to bypass the network block, and will securely route traffic to the Signal service.

This new connection method is supported in the latest Signal Android beta release, and will be rolling out to production users in a few days. Our hope is that this will help many people in Iran start sending and receiving messages again while we continue to explore additional censorship circumvention techniques that will work there.

💡Act as a proxy

✳️ If you want to help by running a proxy, to get started you only need the following:

- A server with ports 80 and 443 available.
- A domain name (or subdomain) that points to the server’s IP address.

The proxy is extremely lightweight. An inexpensive and tiny VPS can easily handle hundreds of concurrent users. Here’s how to make it work:

Amazon delivery drivers in the US have until tonight to sign this consent form for Amazon to collect their biometric info and use AI-cameras that monitor their location and movement.

If they don't sign, they lose their jobs.
