There are a lot of great ways to mitigate this — start by not buying your baby a smart watch 🙃

#GetSession

Apple is slowly boiling frogs on client-side scanning.

They got a backlash when they announced everything they were planning all at once so now they’re drip feeding it, hoping you won’t notice.

If you had told me “Apple is just the same as Google on privacy” six years ago, you would have been wrong because they were incomparably better (ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on).

If you were to tell me the same thing today, you would still be wrong. Because when they implement client-side scanning, they will actually be worse (ar.al/2021/08/08/apple-is-tryi).

Never forget: No trillion-dollar corporation is your friend.

Protecting your privacy is a revolutionary act.

We are doing an opt-in beta release of P2P calls.

This kind of call will be available on Session within weeks.

Learn more about our 2-stage roll-out of voice and video calls, and how you can help with testing:

To take your privacy to the next level, Session onion-routes all of your data.

But what does that mean exactly? And why is Session the only private messaging app that can onion-route high quality voice and video calls?

I will defend a rapist over a cop because 1) I am a Marxist and from a class standpoint, people who commit rape are usually members of the underclass whose crimes are often the product of broader systemic issues while cops are protectors of the bourgeois state and 2) people who commit genuine rapes are overwhelmingly likely to later see their actions as wrong versus cops who don't usually reform themselves

I wish Prostasia's Twitter account was verified. I mean, they definitely deserve verification

Also, imagine how mad the ignorant haters would be if they got verified 😂

Session is:

- decentralised 🌐
- onion-routed 🧅
- anonymous account creation 🥸
- e2ee by default 🔒
- funded by a registered non-profit org 💸
- fully open source (clients and server) 🪟
- independently audited (clients and server) 👍

A thread on your encryption habits🧵

Global Encryption Day is coming up this week and the theme is #MakeTheSwitch (as in, to end-to-end encryption).

With that in mind I want to talk about your personal ‘encryption threshold’
