1/ Meta's move to fully encrypt messages on Facebook and its Messenger app marks a significant step in enhancing user privacy. In a connected world, encryption is a necessity.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

I got a chance to play with the new Messenger a little while ago, and it’s remarkable for… basically not being remarkable. It looks exactly like the existing Messenger, but everything is protected using Signal protocol. Supports web and mobile, and just kind of works invisibly.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

This is a really big deal. Although the full rollout will take a little while, this isn’t opt-in encryption. It’ll be full end-to-end encryption for billions of users, complete with encrypted backup and disappearing messages built in.

NEW: Leaked documents reveal details of a secretive White House funded surveillance program that is giving cops – from ICE to your local police department – access to trillions of US phone records of Americans who are not suspected of crimes.

Very glad to see the EU Parliament’s position. Focusing on how to keep children safe without undermining people’s fundamental rights is the right approach, and being clear that end-to-end encrypted services should not be forced to scan everyone’s private messages is critical.

Wild. USTR undermines US tech/econ interests & strategic goals wrt China & Indo-Pacific in ending support for @WTO ecommerce talks on data flows, data localization & source code. It wants ‘policy space.’ [i.e. room to discriminate] [$] @insidetrade https://t.co/QnBXIDGpF2. Thread

Collective punishment of an entire group is prohibited under international law. This proposed siege would be a war crime that would harm innocent people, especially small children, who also are forced to live under Hamas's brutal rule.

Weird, I always thought the yardstick for parenting was whether you raised a good and kind person.

Some sociopaths have lots of fans. Sometimes they even become President.

[Matt Baker @CapnBakes]

@karaswisher I don't want to be just another pile-on for Louis' spot on the show.

The yardstick for parenting is to raise a person that other people like. He understood the assignment, showed up, and delivered.

As a parent, kudos to you. And thanks for a new benchmark.

This is not a conspiracy theory.

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

My conspiracy theory is that fascists actually don’t give a hoot about “inappropriate” content in books; they’re attacking libraries and librarians because libraries are vital spaces that foster community. And fascists fear community. It’s a scheme to shut down public libraries.

[Robyn Greene @Robyn_Greene]

@BioConserve Wow that graph is depressing.

This is such an outrageous, blood boiling story.

Can a tax expert please explain whether Thomas should have to pay gift taxes on these vacations, and if so, what the implications of failing to pay them are?

[Ken Armstrong @bykenarmstrong]

How @propublica documented Thomas' 38 destination vacations, including a yacht voyage around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights (plus another 8 by helicopter); a dozen VIP passes to sporting events; stays at luxury resorts...
