Motorola just made a move most people won’t notice yet.

They’re teaming up with GrapheneOS, the team behind the most private phone software available.

Until now, that level of privacy was basically limited to Google Pixels. This partnership changes that. Future Motorola phones are being designed to support it properly from day one.

That means more everyday phones that don’t quietly track everything you do.

No need to be a tech expert or privacy obsessive. Just better options arriving for people who want a normal phone that treats them with a bit more respect.

It’s not out yet, but the shift has started.

Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

I don’t need a maid.

I just need someone to tell me once a week that they’re coming to visit and I’ll panic clean my entire house in less than an hour.

.@DHH on why he likes being alone and working remotely:

“When I look back upon my career, it only took off when I could close my door and not see anyone for long stretches of uninterrupted time.”

“We have about 60 people. Twice a year we meet up and spend a week together and it's really great. You get to see people and I cherish that because you need that human connection. You need to sit right in front of someone to reestablish trust batteries and realize it's not all avatars and text—it's actually real people.”

“But at the end of that week I'm always like, ‘As much as I love these people, as much as I love this company, I would fucking quit and live as a hermit in the forest rather than work with them 365 days a year in an office.’”

“When I got started working in technology, I worked in open offices. And you know what? My productivity and my creativity was a bit of a flat line.”

MEET JONATHAN REYNOLDS. THE MAN NOW IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE BRITISH ECONOMY.

This is the UK's new Business Secretary. He has never run a business. He has never even worked for one. 🤡

He knows absolutely nothing about risk taking, entrepreneurship, or meeting a payroll.

He has never had to hire staff, remortgage his house to provide working capital, or skip his own salary so his employees could have theirs!

In fact, he could not even manage to finish his basic training to become a solicitor. Yet the Westminster elite think he is qualified to dictate how British businesses are run!

How can we expect our economy to grow when the people running it have never spent a single day in the private sector? They are career politicians who have spent their entire lives living off the taxpayer.

RT if you are completely sick of clueless career politicians running our country into the ground! 🇬🇧🔥

[Robert Abel @rj_abel]

Let me get this straight.
An unelected PM with no mandate.
A Deputy PM convicted of fraud.
A Housing Secretary who failed to pay tax.
An Education Secretary who called child exploitation a “dog whistle”.
And a Defence Secretary with no military experience !

Hold Tight ! 🤨

[Pat Condell @patcondell]

Can we stop pretending we have a democracy in Britain?
Every few years we go into a booth to perform our little ritual.
Then we get the opposite of what we vote for. Every single time.
Every person in the House of Commons, with very few exceptions, is an imposter and a fraud.

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The Government has confirmed that its so called 'independent' Digital ID Advisory watchdog, will not have its minutes published.

We are expected to carry out parliamentary scrutiny on one of the most significant erosions of our civil liberties for decades, and yet we are not told the group budget, member selection process, or given the minutes from their meetings. Journalists have also been excluded from advisory panels.

The Government must give us answers on this sinister policy, and rethink its current course.

So I bit the bullet and took my drawer of old useless cables to the recycling. The stuff everyone has, unused for years, lying around. The cables designed for God knows what, God knows when.

2 days later I can tell you categorically: don't do this.

True !!!

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

This is a total disgrace.

It is absolutely not the role of the police to intimidate members of the public - especially while openly admitting no law has been broken.

An affront to free speech and a massive overstep of authority.

The public expects the police to focus on real crime, like stopping burglaries, not squandering taxpayer funded time and abusing their powers by actively undermining free speech.

1/ Your daughter is 16.

She reads about a protest happening downtown. Police brutality. Government overreach. She does not know what to believe. The news says one thing. Social media says another.

She wants to investigate. She wants to find the truth herself.

So she opens her phone. Tries to access independent journalist accounts. Citizen reporters who were actually there. Raw footage. Unfiltered perspective.

Access denied.

Reason: Age verification required. Content flagged as potentially harmful to minors. Online child safety laws prohibit access without parental consent and identity verification.

Your daughter cannot search for truth. The system decides what she is allowed to know.

Piccadilly Circus, London.
Keir Starmer now demands state spyware on every mobile device, always watching the screen, scanning everything, looking for things the government disapproves of.

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.

Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.

This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.

And they can do so in secret.

The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.

MPs who go on social media should not turn off replies. They are public employees.

Ich verstehe das nicht. Der Schlächter von #Belfast stammt aus dem Sudan. Er hätte nur die Grenze nach Ägypten überqueren müssen, um ohne Krieg, sogar innerhalb einer verwandten Kultur, leben zu können.

Was legitimiert seine als Flucht getarnte Auswanderung nach Nordeuropa?
