This bill mandates a notice-and- #takedown system that threatens #freeexpression, #userprivacy, and #dueprocess, without meaningfully addressing the problem it claims to solve. The “takedown” provision applies to a much broader category of content…contains no protections against frivolous or bad-faith takedown requests. Lawful content—including #satire, #journalism, and #politicalspeech—could be wrongly censored.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Congress Takes Another Step Toward Enabling Broad Internet CensorshipFast tracking a censorship bill is always troubling. TAKE IT DOWN is the wrong approach to helping people whose intimate images are shared without their consent. We can help victims of online harassment without embracing a new regime of online censorship.

Desktop Grayjay is here! 🎉
A year ago, I heard about the Grayjay project from Louis Rossmann and loved the idea of a third-party platform that centralizes subscriptions around the creator being followed, rather than the platform itself.

I didn’t try it before because I’m not using Android for media consumption, and for the past year, it was only available on Android.

While Grayjay may not be fully open-source, it’s crucial to support projects that prioritize user privacy and provide a seamless experience.

I’m excited to see how this project evolves and hope it inspires more ethical software development in the future. I can’t wait to test it out myself! It’s refreshing to see a project that prioritizes user choice and accessibility.

Any thoughts on Grayjay? Do you use it already, or is it something new to you?

🌐🔒 Exciting news for privacy! The US government has officially recommended using Signal and other encrypted messaging apps after recent telecom hacks. This is a huge step forward in recognizing the importance of secure communication!

As someone who has always championed free and open-source software, I’m thrilled to see this acknowledgment from the government, especially given the increasing threats to our privacy. With the rise of surveillance and the potential for breaches in our communication networks, it’s more important than ever to prioritize encrypted messaging.

If even the CIA is warning us about the dangers of unencrypted communications, we should take it seriously! Let’s embrace tools that protect our privacy and autonomy. Remember, our digital safety is in our hands!

Have you made the switch to Signal or another secure messaging app, or know someone making it now?
