πŸ“£THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

Definitely a day to patch your git. There's a PoC (github.com/acheong08/CV...) for a new CVE (dgl.cx/2025/07/git-...). I wanted to test it but we all know you don't run PoC code on machines you care about... literally 1 min later @iximiuz.bsky.social playground test confirms it works!

WhatsApp is getting ads. It's an end-to-end encrypted messenger, so the critical trust factor relies on the design and communication of such choices. Risky. It isn't clear how privacy is considered, but it sounds like profiled or contextual ads. #GDPR blog.whatsapp.com/helping-you-...

Coded for privileged access | Corporate Europe Observatory The EU is developing a Code of Practice to govern general purpose AI, as part of the implementation of the AI Act. But Big Tech has heavily influenced the process to successfully weaken the Code.

SignalGate Isn’t About Signal The Trump cabinet’s shocking leak of its plans to bomb Yemen raises myriad confidentiality and legal issues. The security of the encrypted messaging app Signal is not one of them.

Key points in this SignalGate piece by @agreenberg.bsky.social & @lhn.bsky.social:
1. Don't discuss highly sensitive war plans on an internet-exposed mobile
2. If your device is compromised, no app will help you
3. Maybe check who's in your chat group
4. For god's sake don't use a personal device

Today is #InternationalWomensDay

Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow.
Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances.

Why do we need to save encryption? πŸ”

Only by blocking message scanning technology on messaging apps can we ensure online safety!

End-to-end encryption prevents predators and hackers from weeding their way into our private lives.
