I stand with freedom of expression. @elonmusk's actions have shown that he and Twitter do not. I will no longer be using Twitter, please follow my mastodon: @[email protected]

@_vincevintage @cijournalism @cnn @propublica @guardian @nytimes @washingtonpost: please provide this journalist with some resources to remain safe, and cover this story! Abuse of DMCA is a crime, YouTube needs to alter its policy to prevent harassment. @TeamYouTube

Hell yeah @Apple! Way to go for introducing end-to-end encryption for #iCloud backups. Hoping iCloud is now a zero-knowledge architecture. #iCloudE2EE #ios162

A bit late to the party here, but:
⚠️ Security Advisory:
Eufy (Anker subsidiary) security cameras upload unencrypted facial recognition photos without your consent & / or knowledge.

Add Anker to the brand list of shame.

[Silk @realSilktg]

@elonmusk No.

[Silk @realSilktg]

@elonmusk It looks like there was some sort of artificial delay in the code before in order to make the user experience more uniform and fluid, but you ordered it removed, and the UI just feels very aggressive now.

@the_meghaning This has to be the second most absurd thing to happen on Twitter today.

@elonmusk You need a operational security consultant post haste. Twitter is about to go up in flames as a direct result of recent (poor) implementations.

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...

[Silk @realSilktg]

It is impossible to overstate the idiocy of investing in a space you do not understand. Cryptocurrency is complex, and if you do not understand (at a minimum) the basics of encryption mathematics and computational entropy you deserve to lose your investment.

Apple Is Tracking You Even When Its Own Privacy Settings Say It’s Not, New Research Says https://t.co/gv2fCrajwF

@Gizmodo Color me surprised.

#MuskTakeover @elonmusk claims to be a free speech absolutist, but I think that only applies when he agrees with your opinion. I am prepared to exit Twitter at the first sign of uneven moderation. Also, keep an eye on their #PrivacyPolicy - PayPal eats your data for lunch.

#BoJackHorseman is one of the most well written shows i've ever seen. it carries significance, and the fact that it's a netflix original blows my mind.

[Silk @realSilktg]

@mysk_co @ProtonVPN This has been a persistent issue with iOS for a long, long, long time. It is a very quick fix, but Apple doesn't want to allow VPN providers access to core services (I think). Apple does not know how to handle data more safely than an educated iOS user. This is morally wrong.

[Silk @realSilktg]

Furthermore, #LockdownMode does not ensure total protection for your device, and as always, the most secure device is no device at all. This will mitigate certain known attacks that have been abused in the wild, but will not prevent further attacks from surfacing. (3/3)

[Silk @realSilktg]

#iOS16 introduces #lockdownmode which is aimed at high-risk individuals who may be the target of a complex cyberattack. This is a great step forward for #Apple, but more work needs to be done to ensure the same protection is offered to the general public. (1/3)

[Silk @realSilktg]

There will always be a tradeoff between usability and security, but with the unveiling of the damaging effects surrounding #PegasusSpyware and similar complex malware attacks #Apple must take a tougher stance on identifying and remediating these issues en-masse. (2/3)
