It your provider has some endpoint somewhere. The thing is, if you’ve law enforcement involved it doesn’t really matter is it’s WiFi calling or a cellular call, they’ll still be able to tie it to you.

There’s encryption and it is managed by the SIM.

So, Apple was right all along. WebP is a bad format.

It is basically a SIP (a widely used VoIP standard) inside of IPSec (a type of VPN, and also a common standard). The IPSec credentials are provided by your your SIM card and that makes it about as secure as cellular.

I guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn’t actually care, they’ve a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can’t do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.

I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.

A better title: Opera explains shit on how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support. Will talk to developers so see if anyone has a good ideas.

Look so damn good, they even seem to know what padding is this time.

I agree with that, 100% but for the majority of the world how green it is usually depends on how far-left you are.

So… now nuclear is considered “green power”. Okay boomers.

Not specifically for amazon devices, they’ve opened up the network to “selected partners”, I believe Samsung isn’t on the list but that may happen at any point and to be fair did you read the ToS to know if they don’t have something similar already? What are their plans?

That doesn’t guarantee 100% privacy on a densely populated area anymore. Nowadays you’ve stuff like Amazon Sidewalk and who knows who’s partner and what devices are in it.

Okay, but then the TV is still running all the same spyware.

Update: just disabling wifi doesn’t guarantee 100% privacy anymore on a densely populated area. Nowadays you’ve stuff like Amazon Sidewalk and who knows who’s partner and what devices are in it.

json spec draft 7

There’s comments in the specs and a bunch of parsers that actually inore //

Yeah but at the same time you’ve ISPs that deploy routers that can initiate GRE tunnels between your network and their side for “support”.

you have to comply with police orders to moderate your platform…

Your points are fair however, where does it stop? If the police says “make it all plaintext” then what happens? It is a police request after all.

This thing where chat platforms and others “need” to comply with police / govt orders and remove content is very tricky… should platforms really censor everything the govts ask for? What if it is a group chat about a corrupt political party in power (with proof)? The govt will say it is CSAM, them Signal will shut it down and our democracies are gone.

To make it really clear: I’m not for breaking the law, and I don’t think that content should be on such platforms. The problem is that once you start removing that content the precedent will be abused to remove other actually important stuff because “it is CSAM” and the E2EE doesn’t have ways to check if is is really CSAM nor should it be the judge of the content.

And what about signal? If some gov founds a group chat they don’t like, will they take it down? How will they even know if all the contente is encrypted?

CSAM? More like copyright infringement. CSAM is the usual cheap excuse to shut down everything because of the obvious social implications.

While I don’t disagree with you, I don’t believe that if MTProto 2 was breakable govts would be putting the shit show they’re putting right now.
