Philip I am an elder caregiver, in very rural very red Colorado. All of my clients are veterans in their mid to late '80s or older.

Every single one of them, believe with their whole being, that they are having an actual conversation with Donald Trump in these emails. Every one of them.

New post from me. Here is my personal touchstone for evaluating proposed legislation regarding young people and smartphones, social media, age verification, and potential bans. It's called the Darnella test. Who's Darnella? You already know.

Telling you right now that if this happens, it will include a test run of shutting down the internet, via the National Emergencies Act, the Communications Act of 1934, and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Dear tech journalists: I don’t know what in the name of Maarva Carassi Andor you are playing at, but from now on if you publish articles on protest safety / privacy /security against surveillance which are full of adtech and location data trackers, you are finished.

When they came for the judges…
This is why we cannot and must not rely on US tech giants.

Amazon is among the worst but none of them is safe.

They are all instruments of the Trump regime.

Watching Rolling Thunder Revue on Netflix. I never paid much attention to Dylan, and now I know why. Flabbergasted by the personality cult around the guy (which the film makes uncannily palpable).

PSA: tips to protect yourself from scams on Signal.

Every major comms platform has to contend w phishing, impersonation, & scams. Sadly.

Signal is major, and as we've grown we've heard about more of these attacks--scammy people pretending to be something or someone to trick and abuse others. 1/

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.
