@Billie @neil PRECISELY THAT!

  • And even if one's comfortable about this as a white heterocisbinary #TechBro from the #USA, just imagine of some of Trump's friends (like the KSA) would demand a #backdoor to target any comms to organizations they dislike and thus lable as *"tereorists" (i.e. @trans_rescue) to systematically prevent trans* people from fleeing and commit #TransGenocide).

That's just a hypothetical, but given the facist tyrant ignoring laws and due process being armed with #CloudAct, it further entrenches the reason why I say "#ID|ing #developers IS the #Illicitactivity!" because it'll only NOPE good devs (i.e. @linear and myself) but will not stop North Korean Hackers that can obtain forged identities and pay IRL #MeatProxies.

Thx @lina for exposing the #Copyrightmafia's #DNS-based #internetcensorship:
cuiiliste.de

As for circumvention: Just use #OpenNIC's DNS servers...

The sheer #Zensursula-Style bullshit is the #IllicitActivity! #ISP|s should have no right to interfere with any traffic (except to defend their own infrastructure from getting hacked) unless explicitly requested by customers to do so.

I do wish @ooni would take a look at the CUII blocklist and add that to their #OONIprobe to test for.

In jedem Falle sollte mensch niemals und unter keinen Umständen irgendwem seine [echten] Personalien Mitteilen oder gar nen Perso-Foto bzw. Selfie schicken!

  • Es gibt sehr, sehr wenige die wirklich sowas verlangen dürfen [bspw. #Autovermietung] oder gar müssen [siehe #Banken] aber die werden i.d.R. einen persönlich hereinbestellen [bspw.: Autovermietung machts bei Schlüsselübergabe] oder seriöse Lösungen [bspw.: #POSTIDENT] nutzen. Auf jeden Fall wird kein Händler³ im Internet sowas verlangen!

Alles andere führt nur zu #Identitätsdiebstahl und #Identitätsmissbrauch wo entsprechende Opfer dann z.T. als Beschuldigte*r in tausenden Fällen dann gearscht ist...

³[Selbst nicht beim legalen Waffenkauf! Da wird stattdessen ne Kopie der WBK samt Nummer verlangt weil der Kauf wird quasi in Echtzeit gemeldet und ohne passenden Voreintrag im System ist auch kein Erwerb möglich!...]

@OhMyGod Remember: ANY "#KYC" in terms of #Messenger| #Apps IS the #IllicitActivity!

Regardless if @matrix or @signalapp , the sheer request, demand or coercion onto #PII like a #PhoneNumber or #eMail-Address is bad.

Personally, I'll recommend to switch to some real #E2EE with good #SelfHosting options like @delta / #deltaChat [which uses #PGP/MIME) or @monocles / #monoclesChat (which is based upon #XMPP+#OMEMO and who do host their own servers which are user-financed and can be paid for 100% anonymously.

@lucasmz @Avitus @david_chisnall the benefit of #XMPP+#OMEMO is that there are several providers, including free options...

All #PII incl. #PhoneNumbers can and will be abused by existing governments and if users don't pay, then they are the product and their data is the one to be sold.

After all, you have the same cost problem with phone numbers. Even if one doesn't pay per line/number and never pay for calls and texts, they still have to top it up to extent validity.

  • And again: It's way easier for a government to demand an ID for a #SIM that works in networks around their country (i.e. #Turkey demands registration on a per-#IMEI - basis *with #ID) than to tunnel XMPP+OMEMO through @torproject over #EDGEland-speed #2G networks.

Plus you relying an unfixably insecure #Telephony makes a system inherently unsafer than it needs to be...

  • This is how people get caught!

Also #Signal is able and willing to use said PII to restrict and ban users and if I were some dissident in Cuba or North Korea or even just Eritrea or Yemen I'd not rely on non-enforcement of #OFAC / #USML / #ITAR since Signal can obviously distinguish & identify accounts by virgue if their #PhoneNumber!

  • Always think "How can this be weaponized against someone?" when it comes to #privacy!
