We’re live. @Streamr_App Alpha is here. If you care about digital privacy, stop having your most important calls on platforms built to observe. Start here 👇
Streamr Network@Streamr

The big lie: “It’s encrypted, so it’s private.” This week, we open the Streamr App Alpha. In an AI-driven world, privacy can’t be a toggle. It has to live at the architecture level. Streamr App is Zoom-like video conferencing, powered by serverless, decentralized tech that removes chokepoints and reduces vendor dependence. What’s in the Alpha: • Video conferencing + chat • Unlimited meeting length • Unlimited attendees (up to 10 speakers) • End-to-end encryption for call content • Serverless by design, no middlemen to intercept • Built so third parties don’t get a seat in your meeting This has been a year in the making. We ship early, learn fast, and build with people who actually care about where online communication is heading. Hit the link to try it, join the community, and help shape what this becomes.

Apparently Google claims that VPN apps not being properly functional on Android isn't an issue needing fixed. Weird how methods of de-anonomizing users in ways that benefit governments and companies arnt considered "bugs" and aren't a problem with fixing. Bug door go brrrrttt.
Proton VPN@ProtonVPN

1/4 Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background. If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it. Details 👇 🧵

@CryptoCyberia Even if it’s “just metadata,” it becomes a reusable cross-app attribute. That’s the privacy risk

👎Australia's social media ban has failed 70% of children are still on social media sites and many others are being pushed into less regulated corners of the internet The UK must learn from Australia's failings and drop plans to enforce a social media ban for under-16s It will come at the cost to all of our rights, freedom and internet access.
Senator Sarah Henderson@SenSHenderson

One hundred days on, it’s clear Labor’s under-16s social media ban has not delivered as promised.  Families were assured this would be a practical and enforceable safeguard, yet what we’ve seen is confusion for parents, uncertainty for platforms and real questions about how this works in practice. The Coalition has consistently supported stronger protections for young Australians online. But good policy is not just about announcing a plan, it’s about making sure it can actually be delivered. The government must now be upfront about what’s working and what isn’t.  Parents deserve clarity and transparency, not confusion and obfuscation.  This includes coming clean on how many accounts have been shut down.  In January, the Prime Minister and Communications Minister announced that 4.7 million accounts were deactivated, removed, or restricted within days of the ban coming into force.  This claim, inconsistent with some publicly released data, is now under a cloud after the eSafety Commissioner confirmed an investigation was underway to verify the number of impacted accounts.  ➡️ afr.com/technology/fin…

🚨America's newest Digital ID proposal just dropped in the US Senate. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has introduced a new AI bill that bundles 17 different policies into one massive, 291 page bill. This is just like all these other tech bills we've been seeing - a massive Digital ID framework - with universal age verification being the key to access to the tools. The bill includes mandatory age verification for every existing account and freezing accounts until users verify their age.

The main program that starts and manages almost everything on modern Linux computers, “systemd”, recently added an optional "birthDate" field to its user database records. This stores a user's full birth date so apps can check age, for example, to comply with new age-verification laws in places like California, Colorado, and Brazil. It is not automatic age checking. Systemd only saves the date. Only admins can set or change it, but the user and some sandboxed apps can read it.

A smoother on-ramp matters. In this demo, the team shows how @openfort_hq powers biometric login in @Streamr_App, making it easier to onboard both Web2 and Web3 users without the usual friction. Big shoutout to Openfort for the tech here. Very clean integration.

We were all born private. Then our parents signed us up for Gmail, and Big Tech spent the next decade building a profile on us before we were old enough to understand what that meant. It doesn't have to start that way for the next generation. #BornPrivate

hey Paolo! testing out all of these bitnet models locally and trying to pull them into my hermes agent to test around with fabric-llm seems like BitNet is fine-tuned on biomedical data? could you explain the reasoning there on that? will poke around and take some benchmarks for BitNet and other qvac interfaces if all looks good for local, we can pull it in to @Entropic_AI (a 1-click agent harness) encourage you to check it out!

You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything. Everything is a subscription service, like literally everything. You can't buy Microsoft Office, you have to purchase a subscription for a year. You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?

Privacy isn't a 'yes/no' feature, it's a 'how much' feature. Even more precisely: it's a 'what kind' feature. Not all privacy is the same. Not all implementations are equal. Some approaches work better than others. The important question: what do you want to shield?

@CyberRacheal If users have to suffer to be “secure,” they will route around you. Every time

Cyber_Racheal@CyberRacheal·
Password rotation or Forced changes lead to "password hedging," where users just add a number or change one letter (e.g., Summer1! becomes Summer2!). It is biologically impossible for most people to memorize a high volume of complex, random strings every few months, leading to "sticky note" security risks. When security is a hassle, users find dangerous shortcuts, like reusing the same "strong" password across every site they own. The most important fact is that NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the global authority on cybersecurity standards, officially retired this method In its Digital Identity Guidelines (SP 800-63B), NIST now explicitly states that organizations "SHALL NOT require" periodic password changes. They’ve shifted the focus to Length over Complexity. They recommend allowing passphrases of up to 64 characters and only requiring a change if there is actual evidence of a compromise.
Cyber_Racheal@CyberRacheal

Password rotation every 90 days actually makes your company LESS secure. Change my mind.

Nithin Kamath@Nithin0dha·
I don't use net banking apps on my phone because the mandatory permissions they ask for make no sense. Why does a banking app need access to my SMS, phone, contacts, etc., in the name of security, when not seeking invasive device permissions is, in fact, the global benchmark for cybersecurity. This is called the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). “Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you” has been at the heart of the Zerodha philosophy. This is exactly why we've built Zerodha the way we have. Kite asks for ZERO permissions on mobile, for instance, and this is one of the big reasons why millions of people trust us. What has enabled us is SEBI's mandatory strong two-factor authentication framework strike the right balance between security and privacy.

Absolutely brilliant! The thing Labour said about Digital ID being secure was of course a lie. Companies House admits their system is so shit anyone could have changed your details online for 5 MONTHS.
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle

Companies House has put out a statement confirming that, for five months, every company in the UK was vulnerable to the simple exploit we identified on Friday. It enabled anyone in the world to view and change their company details.
