That recent WhatsApp CVE is scary as hell and a dangerous reminder of what government level actors can do to 1.5Bn users if they want to

Jesus Christ. This idea is poison and the fact people are legitimately considering it is dire. The Australian version too.

@hj @Main_Tomato 1.5Bn people don't voluntarily install spyware, most are unaware of what they are doing at no fault of their ownShit on Facebook because they deserve it but comparing a *very* serious security issue that bypasses E2E encryption with a, frankly, debatable data privacy issue is a bit much. This could have happened even if they were saints

@coy @Main_Tomato @hj 3/4 of this toot implies I said it wasnt spyware which I never didI also have no reason to believe it isnt E2E encrypted but that doesnt mean FB cant use the data for advertising in device or giving out the keys to government level actors

@coy @Main_Tomato @hj I AGREE its spyware, I never said it wasnt, im saying the notion that all its users WILLINGLY install spyware is a very harmful and immature thing to say and does no favours in teaching those people about privacy. As well as that security is not the same thing as privacy and is much, much more important which im seeing people fail to remember with people like us who care about this sort of thing

@ggnoredo @finlaydag33k @pedro @coy this is not an issue at all, most of the big sites do this to make sharing easier. The URLs are public but the length of the string acts as a sort of password. Calculate how many different combinations you can have with those characters and I assure you it would be a number too big to do anything with. Theres a reason why this discovery isnt big news that everybody knows

@coy @finlaydag33k @ggnoredo @pedro you are not smarter than Google engineers, there's plenty of battles to easily win on privacy and this is not one of them. If you think those URLs are being scraped then you do not know enough about what you're talking about to comment. I'm really disheartened from trying to make points on and challenge people on here because it just falls on death ears. My points are ignored.

@coy im insulting your intelligence because hearing (or seeing) very opinionated talk no matter the intent when there's a misunderstanding of whats gone wrong is very frustrating and im sure you've seen it too in your lifetime. I will say it again, they know what they're doing and this one single point is not an issue for reasons I've already said. Seeing heated talk on how its something that professionals have completely missed, both inside and out Google, is frankly absurd.

@coy I've noticed you add in facts at the end of some of your posts that have nothing to do with whats being said. I completely agree with the last paragraph and im not complaining you've included it as you clearly care about it. I just really want these issues that I care about so much, privacy and security, to be understood on my "side" so that its easier to win people over with ACTUAL things that are affecting THEM specifically. This is not one of them unfortunately.

@coy on Firefox now and I could mention also how its a security nightmare and the fact its being used for Tor is insane. Its a massive, massive shame they cant decide on being a good competitor or a privacy focused browser because they accomplish neither and are diving headfirst into failure.

I hope this means that something is finally happeningI don't want to be too optimistic but "a compulsory code of ethics for tech companies, overseen by an independent regulator" sounds like people in our political system are finally getting ithttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47255380

@woodcat@Main_Tomatosearx.me is good since you can self host and had a ton of features to mess around with but the main site it a bit slow (not tried self hosting or any other host), startpage is fast and uses Google and I've also heard qwant is good too
