I post this just to show how I wanted to reply to the last post in the conversation from the screenshot, but I couldn't because @Azarilh blocked me.

“I admit this
If this would happen (which I really hope will not) I will stay with #VivaldiBrowser for as much as it would be able to survive, and then move to a #GeckoBrowserEngine-based #browser.
After all, #Chromium doesn't invade my #privacy, as #Bing, #Google, #Yahoo etc. do.”

Am I wrong?


Steven Bonk: “When Canadians provide their personal information to political parties, whether signing up for a newsletter, attending a town hall or simply expressing support, they are placing trust in us. They expect that information to be treated with care, confidentiality and respect. When that expectation is not met, the harm is not just legal or administrative. It is democratic.”

As part of the investigation, I have looked closely at Telegram's protocol and analyzed packet captures provided by IStories.

I have also done some packet captures of my own.

I dive into the nitty-gritty technical details of what I found and how I found it on my blog:

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot
rys.io/en/179.html

Yes, my packet captures and a small Python library I wrote in the process are all published along.

Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):
istories.media/stories/2025/06…

English version by OCCRP:
occrp.org/en/investigation/tel…

tl;dr:

👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.

👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.

I am quoted in this story.

Tired of software tracking you, and using your content to feed AI services? Switch to free and open source software – like #LibreOffice, which is backed by a non-profit (@tdforg) and has zero interest in your data: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #privacy


Privacy vs Security: Yandex is spying on their users in an insecure way, Meta (Facebook, Insta) in a more secure way. Both of them are a threat against user privacy

This is yet another example showing that there are reasons to be more suspicious against proprietary apps. We should avoid installing GAFAM apps, and reducing as much as possible our dependency on their services is healthy

In 2010, #AaronSwartz downloaded 70 GB of articles from JSTOR. He faced a $1 million fine and 35 years in prison
➡️ Aaron took his own life in 2013.

#Meta illegally downloaded over 80 terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train its #AI models

*How secure is UnifiedPush?*

It’s a legitimate question that comes up from time to time. While the question is fairly short, the answer requires a few details. Behind the question of security, it’s also often about privacy.

📱 Válí se mi doma Pixel 6a s GrapheneOS.
Mám tu plně funkční Google Pixel 6a s nainstalovaným GrapheneOS. Bezpečnostní aktualizace do července 2027. Perfektní pro někoho, kdo to myslí vážně se soukromím a chce bezpečný telefon bez Google sledovaček.

Telefon má známky běžného používání a trochu zlobí konektor na nabíjení, ale jinak šlape v pohodě.

Kdyby někomu udělal radost a využil ho naplno, dej vědět do zpráv. Rád ho pošlu dál – hlavně někomu, kdo ví, co má v rukou. 🙂

Outstanding and alarming reporting by @npr here on what appears to be major violations of security and data privacy protocol by the DOGE folks on National Labor Relations Board Data. Big props to the brave whistleblower, Daniel Berulis, who has come forward despite receiving threatening notes with personal information and pictures taken from overhead (drones?) of him walking his dog.

🧠 Microsoft is reintroducing Recall in Windows 11 — a feature that captures screenshots every 3 seconds of your activity to create an AI-powered memory. What could go wrong?

It now includes:
🔐 Opt-in only
📍 Local device processing
🧑‍💻 Windows Hello authentication

But many still ask: is it a productivity boost or a privacy liability? 😳
Even with safeguards, the idea of your system quietly watching everything you do raises serious concerns about digital trust.
