Edward Snowden said it the best:

"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"

"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."

NEW: U.K. advances proposal to force Apple, Google, Signal, & other platforms to scan private content on users’ devices — executives could face prison if they refuse.

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Canada's Public Safety Minister says Apple, Meta, and Signal are "misinterpreting" his surveillance bill.

Apple says the bill would force encryption backdoors. Signal says they'd leave Canada entirely. Meta says it would turn companies into arms of government surveillance.

The minister thinks they just can't read.

You should be very concerned about Bill C22. It’s straight out of 1984.

@Erdayastronaut Could you do a comparison video of this vs Apollo’s Saturn V?

@CalebChamberla6 SaaS companies solved this by offering different tiers of service such as personal accounts, team plans and enterprise plans. The enterprise plans were tailored to the needs of enterprise and cost significantly more.

Some people say protecting your privacy is extreme.

I think handing over your every click, activity, and movement to companies and governments and having no idea what they'll use that information for is extreme.

@IanCutress @anandtech @anandshimpi So many good memories of reading articles on that site. I��m glad you made it out on your terms and continue to do what you love.

@underlinux @UK_Daniel_Card Those that have a need or desire to set up vlans and firewall rules already know how or will learn how on YouTube. Those that don’t need or want it won’t learn how or why in a tool tip. Maybe you can put a “Learn more” and link to a knowledge base on vlans and rules?

Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole?

Thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, we're kicking off #BlackHoleWeek with a virtual plunge into the event horizon—a black hole's point of no return: https://t.co/aIk9MC1ayK

@GlennAlanBerry We are now in the era of saturating 100GbE with a single SSD. That is insane.
