We don't own Session. Our community owns Session.
The only way to guarantee that a private messaging app is incapable of selling out its users is to build it that way.
So that's what we did.
The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act bans federal use of face surveillance and withholds some federal tax dollars from paying for it at the state and local level. Tell your elected officials now to co-sponsor this bill. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/now-time-tell-congress-ban-federal-use-face-recognition
@vaas@pawoo.net @pandaprince it's not available, it's taken. But if someone that has money wants to grab it, feel free to redirect it to end-the-stigma.com

@elliot slightly related: honestly, vigilantes that go after people on the sex offense registry are more of a danger to the public than people on the registry are
@elliot based solely on what I've learned about the sex offense registry, I agree that vigilantism is 100% terrible

@eff This law is dangerous to internet speech, privacy, security, and competition. We hope our friends in the Great White North agree, and raise their voices to send it to the scrap heap of bad internet ideas from around the globe. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/o-no-canada-fast-moving-proposal-creates-filtering-blocking-and-reporting-rules-1
@eff This is dangerous for everyone, but especially marginalized groups. Faced with expansive and vague moderation obligations, little time for analysis, and major legal consequences if they guess wrong, companies inevitably over censor—and users pay the price.

I just sent a report to NCMEC (report.cybertip.com) for that "pedoblock fediverse website" because one of the posts about one of the instances has screenshots of child sexual abuse images (they edited the screenshots with "black censorship bars". But that doesn't matter because in the eyes of the law those images are still illegal)
Friendly reminder: If you see Child Sexual Abuse Material (commonly known as "child pornography), REPORT IT, DO NOT SHARE IT OR SCREENSHOT IT. REPORT! IT! (also Child Sexual Abuse Material refers to REAL material of REAL CHILDREN, not cartoons. Please don't send false reports of cartoons to the tipline because false reports wastes resources, time, and money.

@miamiautumn 1. I'm glad I don't have Apple devices. 2. I'm absolutely livid because this will do more harm than good. I can't stop thinking SPECIFICALLY about 1. the adults with youthful appearances (bless their good genes!) that will have their nudes trigger false positives and 2. minors that participate in consensual sexting with their significant other (a perfectly normal, healthy, & acceptable relationship practice imo)
