@stutteringsteve@twtxt.net here here 👏 My wife and I are also taking this stance in our local area, we (Australia) haven’t introduced this level of insanity yet, but it’s coming! 🤦‍♂️ We’re not the only ones either, we have very close friends and other family that feel the same, these morally and ethically questionable types are overstepping their bounds. #Freedom #HumanRights #Privacy

About Scaling Up - Verne Harnish’s Best-selling Book

Currently trying to get a PDF (Portable Document Format) version of this book. So far I can’t seem to do this 😢 I am NOT purchasing through Amazing (privacy eroding garbage that it is) nor buying a fucking Kindle (same reasons).

So I’ve emailed the Author to ask if he could sell it to me in PDF format. I’m even willing to pay up to $15.00 USD for a PDF version! 😅 #Privacy #InformationAge -> #PrivacyAge

📣 PSA: Threat to your privacy and the right to criticise your Government.

Julian Simmonds MP (Australia)

I received the following message from our (Australian MP) Julian Simmonds
yesterday via Email (because apparently politicians don’t know how to use Social Media 🤦‍♂️ or how to write Blog posts 🤣):

Your Privacy and right to criticise Government is at risk!

I have been fighting for tougher rules on big tech and new laws that back Australians online. As a result of my advocacy, our government is putting in place online protections that hold social media companies to account and put the power back in the hands of parents.

Under these new powers, social media companies will be declared as publishers, meaning they are liable for any defamatory remarks, unless they actively assist to identify anonymous trolls and resolve disputes.

For parents who have often felt helpless, this means an avenue to unmask the troll targeting and bullying their kids online.

This sends a strong message to those who make toxic comments and slurs online; that they cannot hide! They are no longer anonymous behind the keyboard and will face the consequences of their actions, just as they would in the real world thanks to our new legislation.

What are your thoughts? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net We are pleased to tell you that the whole link verification feature is now done entirely client-side. The original intention as @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com originally stated are IMO quite valid and useful in their own right. I believe you can still turn this off in Settings – But if you use the Mobile Web UI it’s probably worthwhile havnit in case some asshole decides to link to something that might exploit a device 😅 #Security #Privacy

The European Court rules that “the requirement to decrypt encrypted communications, as applied to end-to-end encrypted communciations, cannot be regarded as necessary in a democratic society” and infringes on the European Convention on Human Rights.
