Not sure if the trade offs are worth it. It means making up a database of all people. Maybe it could work if your friends and family agree to be in your local database, but not worth it if everyone needs to be in a massive database.


Another alternative is don’t connect your TV to the internet.


For sure, just suggesting that “compromised” doesn’t necessarily mean you got hacked by someone because they tricked you into giving a password, or they scraped it from another website, or you installed something sketchy. It could be as simple as Microsoft scans all your files with AI, or Meta snoops other social media (which it has been caught doing).


If the keys are accessible to any process, your system doesn’t need to be compromised. All it takes is an App that you”trust” to break that trust and snatch everything up. Meta has already been caught fucking around with other social media apps on device. They even intercepted Snapchat traffic on some users devices in order to collect that data. It could be as simple as you installed WhatsApp and they went and pillaged your Signal files.


What’s wrong with Tim Cook?

Edit: Downvoted for asking a question, y’all are miserable people.



If you ever once donate to a candidate or sign up for a candidate newsletter, you are forever on some master list and can never get off it. You can unsubscribe from individual candidate lists, but every year when new candidates join, they’ll just put you on those candidate’s lists and you’ll have to unsubscribe all over again. It’s obnoxious as hell and should be illegal. And, I might be interested to hear from a political candidate from time to time, but it’s not like that. They email you up to 5 times a day with annoying click-spammy titles.



Yeah they should’ve made what Proton has.


This is what I love Mozilla for. They can be credited for making this an issue that is getting some attention.


Could be… I paid the $3.50/month and it was included with email, drive, calendar, pages, etc. Really wish proton just included it with their email price instead of requiring you to use ProtonPass or signing up for the more expensive SimpleLogin too.


Yeah, skiff was nice because you got pretty much unlimited quick aliases for free. No need to pre-register them. Basically, you could make one for every company you make an account with:

Ex. somecompany@mysubdomain.maskmy.id

Makes it easy to shut down anyone that doesn’t let you unsubscribe (ie. politicians).


Oh, those are less handy because they still give away your email address


Do they have unlimited quick aliases?




I don’t even use Facebook. In this case, I’m not even receiving any services from them, so they should so stop spying on me. If their answer is “pay us $10/month anyway,” which it seems to be then Facebook is more of a protection racket than a legitimate business.


California could start by forbidding its own DMV from selling this data to data brokers in the fucking first place.
