Since some people completely misunderstood my last tweet: I was NOT saying GrapheneOS sandboxed Google Play is the same as stock Android Google Play Services. GrapheneOS objectively provides a far stronger security model through sandboxing, deprivileging Play Services, exploit mitigations, hardened memory protections, per app controls, etc. The joke was simply about the fact that even many privacy focused Android users still end up relying on Google software/hardware for compatibility and convenience because of how deeply Google is tied into the Android ecosystem. That’s it 😭

GrapheneOS users explaining why installing Google Play Services “sandboxed” is totally different from installing Google Play Services normally: bro it’s still Google in there 😭

Hold up a moment. If Google has encryption keys to provide the authorities, then it's not exactly E2EE, is it? The whole point of E2EE is that nobody but sender and recipient can see the content, isn't it?

BREAKING: Google has said it will REFUSE to comply with Carney's Surveillance Bill C-22, by refusing to provide encryption keys to CSIS and the RCMP. "If we say a product is end-to-end encrypted, it is end-to-end encrypted." HELL YEA BOYS! .....LFG!!

@HarisCountrys Irresponsible parents are their own separate problem. You're still giving politicians a free pass when you blame others for government policy. Its not because of any member of the Rakyat. Its because the government has and always wanted to enact mass surveillance.

All of this started because irresponsible parents did not monitor what their kids saw and let the Internet raise them, which resulted in kids seeing things they shouldn't. Because of them lah everyone now has to do age verification and our government will have our private data.

@RyukiOokunami @HarisCountrys Why are you blaming a faceless blob of individuals instead of the GOVERNMENT that is imposing this.

@ViggyStrdust It was always going to be through extremely invasive surveillance but they lapped up the slop story the government fed them about protecting children. So now to prevent cognitive dissonance they blame the parents instead of the politicians and themselves for enabling it.

@ViggyStrdust I saw netizens for months cheering on "Yeah protect the children we need to have more controls to prevent children from accessing social media" Now that its here suddenly they're upset that its through the extremely obvious surveillance methods. And they still blame others.

One of the reasons we have this type of problem is because instead of correctly criticizing the government who is implementing this for political reasons, people will go out of their way to blame individuals instead.

Let's not get the reasons twisted. They say its to protect children but its never been about the children. Don't blame the parents for this. If not them the government would have found another reason. It's always been about mass surveillance and control. Never about protection.

🌐 ProtonVPN contra la vigilancia en Canadá Proton VPN ha anunciado que se opondrá firmemente a las exigencias de vigilancia del gobierno canadiense incluidas en el proyecto de ley C-22. Afirma que no comprometerá su política de no registrar datos, ni sus medidas de encriptación, incluso si la legislación se aprueba. Según sus representantes, cumplir con órdenes de vigilancia extranjeras sin seguir el proceso legal suizo sería un delito en su país de origen.

Regarding Canada's Bill C-22: @ProtonVPN is Swiss. Complying with foreign surveillance orders without Swiss legal process is a criminal offence. Not happening. We'll defend our Canadian users and never compromise them. We will fight C-22's application by every means available.

@mucielagon @Techjunkie_Aman Google literally made it their mission to PREDICT what your next search will be based on how much information they can collect from you. They have succeeded in that endeavour, and if that doesn't terrify you then I don't know what to tell you man.

10 Android Settings You Should Disable IMMEDIATELY. Your phone collects way more data than most people realize. Start here. 1. WEB & APP ACTIVITY Google tracks: • searches • apps • browsing • voice commands Turn it off: Settings → Google → Manage your Google Account → Data & privacy → Web & App Activity 2. LOCATION HISTORY Your phone can literally store a timeline of everywhere you go. Disable it: Google Account → Data & privacy → Timeline → Turn Off 3. YOUTUBE HISTORY Google uses this to profile your habits and interests. Disable it: YouTube → Settings → Manage all history → Saving your YouTube history 4. AD PERSONALIZATION This powers cross-app advertising and tracking. Disable it: Settings → Security & privacy → Ads → Delete Advertising ID 5. WIFI & BLUETOOTH SCANNING Your phone can still scan nearby devices even with location OFF. Disable it: Settings → Location → Location Services → WiFi scanning + Bluetooth scanning OFF 6. MICROPHONE PERMISSIONS Most apps do NOT need microphone access. Review them: Settings → Security & privacy → Permission manager → Microphone 7. CAMERA PERMISSIONS A random app should not have camera access forever. Review them: Settings → Security & privacy → Permission manager → Camera 8. PUBLIC WIFI AUTO CONNECT Stops your phone from joining sketchy networks automatically. Disable it: Settings → Network & internet → Internet → Network preferences 9. USAGE & DIAGNOSTICS Sends analytics and usage data back to Google. Disable it: Settings → Security & privacy → More security & privacy → Usage & diagnostics 10. PRECISE LOCATION Most apps only need approximate location. Disable it: Open App Info → Permissions → Location → Turn OFF “Use Precise Location” BONUS: Android 16 added some surprisingly good privacy tools: • Privacy Dashboard • Private Space • camera/mic kill switches • auto permission revocation Most Android users never touch them. The scary part? This is only the tracking Android TELLS you about.

@mucielagon @Techjunkie_Aman Literally no one obfuscates this. If you want to trade privacy for convenience that's your prerogative but the cornerstone of the growing privacy movement is precisely pointing out how society has traded privacy for convenience

@Techjunkie_Aman I wish this overly private trend would die already. Or at least mention how much harder/cumbersome this makes your digital life. I've personally missed out on valuable tracking (yes) becuase I had a privacy centric digital life. Slowly leaving that phase..

This is peak petty bourgeois behaviour in action but I all I see is "Leftists" and "Marxists" taking part in the circles that validate this worldview.

Controversial topic: AI. I think most artists despise AI. This is pretty much clear. But we shouldn’t treat the people who USE AI like they are also slop. They might just be uneducated on how much trouble AI causes. Can we try something like this next time, artists?
