Privacy Telecom ‘Cape’ Introduces ‘Disappearing Call Logs’ That Delete Every 24 Hours Usually telecoms keep customer's call and text logs for months if not years.

New: privacy-focused telecom Cape has introduced what it calls "disappearing call logs." Rather than keeping data on who you called and when for months or years, Cape says it deletes those records after 24 hours.

Another data bleed by your #cellular #carrier service. This interview w/ #Cape #CEO where he explains things like how carriers sell ALL your activity/info for profit. Cape uses min #KYC low data collection, one only provides a Zip code.
Hard hitting Q on Cape advantages.

Dr. Stefanie Hubig, Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection, on the occasion of political discussions about privacy in the digital space and about a proposal for an EU regulation to prevent and combat sexual abuse „Unreasonable chat control must be taboo in a constitutional state. Private communication must never be under general suspicion.“ 08. October 2025 „Unreasonable chat control must be taboo in a constitutional state. Private communication must never be under general suspicion. The state must also not force messengers to scan messages en masse for suspicious content before sending them. Germany will not agree to such proposals at EU level. We must also make progress in the fight against child pornography at EU level. That's what I'm committed to. But even the worst crimes do not justify giving up basic civil rights. The federal government's votes have insisted on this for months. And it will stay that way.“

NEW: Germany opposes mass scanning of private messages.

"must be taboo in a constitutional state"

"even the worst crimes don't justify giving up basic civil rights"

Well said Minister Stefanie Hubig!

Leadership we need from Europe's democracies.

Friend,

Does scrolling leave you hollowed?

Is anger frictionless...but thinking like swimming against the current?

You're in an algorithmic rip tide.

Your mental clarity is the target.

Take a beat and step out

Connect with your own thoughts.

It's what designers of these algorithms fear most.

Exclusive: ICE reactivated its $2 million contract with Israeli spyware firm Paragon, following its acquisition by U.S. capital The cyber division of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations on Saturday quietly lifted a stop-work order put into place by the Biden administration in October.

NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US.

ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon.

Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists.

This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/

NEW: @wyden.senate.gov just exposed which phone companies keep silent about government surveillance.

NO = doesn't respect Americans' privacy rights.

Choose accordingly. 1/

@josephcox.bsky.social identified lack of MFA on Snowflake accounts as a root cause of the ATT breach.

At Cape you don't have to wonder if we have MFA switched on for all of our cloud services (or anything else), you can check for yourself at our Trust Portal: www.cape.co/blog/trust-m...

Cybersecurity hygiene has enormous importance in critical industries like telecommunications. This morning @404media.co published an update on the AT&T metadata breach (not Salt Typhoon, the one before) reporting that it's even worse than previously supposed--basically all ATT subscribers affected.

Can we get hats please?
