@mer__edith completely agree there's a big difference and fully supported the Signal stance. But why no export function on iOS? broken phone = lost entire message history

I wouldn’t say that Will and I are battling but I do disagree. Because there are big differences between Signal and WhatsApp. Signal is the gold standard in private comms. We’re open source, nonprofit, and we develop and apply e2ee and privacy preserving tech across our system to protect metadata and message contents. Check out to see just how little data we are able to provide in response to the subpoenas we’re not able to resist. Now, WhatsApp licenses Signal’s cryptography to protect message contents for consumer WhatsApp. Not on WhatsApp for business. Neither consumer nor business WhatsApp protects intimate metadata—like contact list, who’s messaging whom, when, profile photo, etc. And, when compelled, like all companies that collect the data to begin with, they turn this important, revealing data over. Don’t misunderstand—we love that WhatsApp uses our tech to raise the privacy bar of their app. Part of Signal’s mission is to set, and encourage the tech ecosystem to meet, this high privacy bar. But these are key differences when it comes to meaningful privacy and the public deserves to understand them, given the stakes. Not have them clouded in marketing.

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s still a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people. wired.trib.al/jtrXHD3

@ElectricIreland can you explain why having a smart meter means one cannot use a green electricity tariff? surely that wipes out any minor environmental benefits. can I go back to 'dumb' meter in order to have green power?

#RWC2023 website has been frozen for the past 3 hours, while others have been able to queue after I started and purchase tickets. Has anyone else experienced the same terrible loading times/ frozen queue progression?

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight. Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

AUDIO of gaffe by Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries during speech at a Rugby League World Cup social impact event in St Helens earlier. “I’ve always quite liked the idea of rugby league - my long-standing memory is that 2003 drop-goal… Wow, what a moment that was.” Listen 👇

@biminibabes reusing is > than plastic. the cow in my dad's old 70's jacket isn't going to be saved by me throwing it away now. however as many point out, plastic leather is not the only alternative: upcycled tyres, pineapples, mushrooms...

Vegans. Opinion on wearing second hand leather? Personally I think reusing old leather is better than ‘fake’ leather which is essentially plastic. We have enough leather on the planet to stop all leather production.
