@Toobydoo They seem to be VERY light on those details 😒

How exactly?

@Saiyanprid65495 Apparently the MULTIPLE data breaches were not enough of an indicator for them 🙄

@MyStartMail Yeah no shit age verification was rushed to hell without doing detail work of the risk on some country age verification is on OS level

Renowned computer scientists from around the globe are calling upon regulators to pause age verification laws for social media "until the scientific consensus settles on the benefits and harms": politico.eu/article/age-ch…

@MyStartMail Just reminding that Meta is behind this. Money beats expert opinion as always.

@artlurg431 An extremely valid question!

@MyStartMail How would me knowing that no one can read my messages put me at risk

TikTok has said that they will not protect users' DM's with E2EE, stating that it would put users at risk: bbc.com/news/articles/…

@NtTestAlertX That might be giving the regulators far too much credit on their technical expertise, considering that most of them seem to know very little about technology and how to regulate it...

@MyStartMail the "regulators" know perfectly well the harms far outweigh the "benefits", and the whole thing is lobbied by Meta.

@LifeInGen6 Also, age verification in its current iteration does NOT make anyone safer!

@MyStartMail Stay strong against oppression. Identity needs to be free and self-sovereign.

@Miro_Silva_BR Precisely! And one of our features, if used properly, helps the subscription pay for itself 😉

@MyStartMail It's better to have a subscription to get more access to features, better protection, and more spam-free email addresses

You shouldn't have to pay EVEN MORE just to access the features that keep your email address hidden, and switching over to a private email should be seamless and easy! Luckily, you get all of these things and more with a single subscription, no excessive gatekeeping or tiers necessary!

Maybe they're being discounted because no one wants to be bombarded with nonconsensual ads. Just a thought! 😁

@Miro_Silva_BR Too bad they can't point to a single case where ending E2EE made users safer.

They say this is to prioritize user safety, claiming that E2EE would prevent security teams and the police from accessing messages when necessary, but the decision was praised on the grounds that E2EE would reduce the ability to detect such crimes. I had always thought that E2EE was real protection against spying.

@Rotwang9000 All it takes is for one weak link in the chain to jeopardize the whole thing

@MyStartMail Image makes it look like a BankID data hack but really it's just some code taken from one of the contractors working on the government's own version

Who could have predicted that this would happen? Oh wait, we all did. 😒

@Saiyanprid65495 Their rationale was certainly light on details 😒

@MyStartMail Put at risk of what? Showing political dessent and ignoring pedophile? Yeah no thanks E2EE is a basic privacy between you and your friends

@b80123191 Seems to be the rationale for all of Big Tech's worst decisions

@MyStartMail They have everyone’s best interest at heart

@EdwardHorigin AKA not actually fixing the problem

@MyStartMail Carbon credit aka pay for your sins.

That sounds...sustainable 😐

@Miro_Silva_BR @Toobydoo Very that! 👆👆

@MyStartMail @Toobydoo Whether the product is American or European, data protection and privacy are non-negotiable

EU countries are using dumb reasons to do a smart thing. Getting off Teams because it’s a bad and surveillance product is excellent. Getting off Teams because it’s American is just stupid.

@MyStartMail Surprisingly, it’s even more with 𝕏

Verifying yourself on LinkedIn connects your personal information to a third party company that shares it with a massive network of partners...from credit agencies to law enforcement to AI companies and more: inc.com/kevin-haynes/p…
