Given the long history of police retribution against people exercising their First Amendment right to record interactions with authorities, a U.S. court upholds the ability of the public to secretly record police encounters. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/first-circuit-upholds-first-amendment-right-secretly-audio-record-police

Can a paper drawing be a Free Cultural Work?

@emacsen @wim_v12e
Indeed, the creative commons "wanna work together" video does specify a drawing as your own work and therefore your copyright

Facebook blocks users who scrape and post paid political disinformation ads, but it missed the crooks who scraped and dumped 553m user profiles. Just another reason it shouldn’t be in charge of who gets to interoperate with it and on what terms. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/553000000-reasons-not-let-facebook-make-decisions-about-your-privacy

The only private data an instance has is your email address and password. (If you're not using a VPN there will be an IP address too.)

If you want to have maximum security in case of a leak, you could use a throwaway email address, unique password and VPN connection. In that case there wouldn't (as far as I know) be anything sensitive to leak?

By the way, there are thousands of instances on the Fediverse 😁

Cool thanks, i was asking as this sort of thing worries people generally so being able to get more reassurance that there is nothing worth leaking is a good thing.

But good point, we should try and use what is said here as part of the strategy when promoting the fediverse @dsfgs

According to the article the information wasn't leaked due to a breach, as such but the info is available via their Api so it was scraped.

What safeguards are in place here with regard to this not happening here on the fediverse ?

Other than the fact that there are millions of us here, (I think) spread over 100s of instances, so our data more spread out.

@linmob What I would love to see, would be a short #Peertube video of each app in the #MobileLinux app directory. I don't mean a full review, as most of them are going to be new, buggy and in development, anyway.

I'd just like to at least see each screen, what they're for and the features they have. Possibly showing an easy way of installing them on say #Manjaro+#PlasmaMobile, #Mobian+#Phosh and #UbuntuTouch would be a nice bonus.

Right now it's hard to know what's worth the effort to install.
