@realTimaV @payloadartist By “user related” you mean “fake account created sloppily by the Belarusian government to justify forcing a plane to land so they could arrest democracy activists.” Indeed, we didn’t allow a rogue state to weaponize our privacy policy.

Last week, Proton’s CTO, @BartCButler, joined @SwissEmbassyUSA, @NEDemocracy, and @accessnow for a roundtable about the role of privacy tools in protecting human rights and resisting digital repression.

@ozwel My understanding is that last call should be soon.

This #ValentinesDay, don't let Big Tech catch you unprotected.

How do you avoid unexpected surprises?

[Bart Butler @BartCButler]

@baDotNet @ProtonMail Not sure precisely what you mean. Are you referring to having that in the X-Original-To header on the forwardee side for internal forwarding?

[Bart Butler @BartCButler]

@baDotNet @ProtonMail And internal forwarding is still E2E encrypted!

Usually you shouldn't share passwords, but if you have to for some reason, this is the way to do it. It also allows 2FA to be shared/updated on multiple devices at the same time.

Standardized, interoperable #encryption is key for a better internet.

Proton and the @IETF’s OpenPGP Working Group are pleased to announce a crypto refresh of the #OpenPGP standard. Standardization today ensures interoperability tomorrow.

[Tankred Hase @tankredhase]

Amazing to see authenticated encryption get standardized in OpenPGP. I wrote an opt-in AES_GCM mode for OpenPGP.js using native WebCrypto in 2016 and never thought it would get through since the GPG devs didn’t like GCM. Congrats @BartCButler & team!

@iblametom @signalapp A phone number, required for Signal as the main account identifier, is actually precisely this kind of data. For us, recovery emails and phone numbers are optional. Anyway, we love Signal too but this take doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Pro-tip: If your ship is heeling over like this, check for leaks. (I know these things because I'm an Admiral.)

@karstendonnay @nelson Assuming any part of the official explanation is true is probably unwise.

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's Javascript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

Twitter is DDOSing itself.

[Róisín Michaux @RoisinMichaux]

Thank god somebody is trying to make me spend less time on Twitter. Weird that it’s the owner of Twitter.

[Tibo Eber @TiboEber]
