404 Media · The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was HackedTeleMessage, a company that makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, was hacked.

#TeleMessage's Signal backdoor app is getting lots of attention due to #Signalgate, but they have other products that function similarly for #Telegram, #WhatsApp, and #weChat.

Has literally _anyone_ audited their products before #signalgate? Do their apps make it clear to its users that they are using a backdoored version of the official apps? Is it #stalkerware? We need answers.

TeleMessage has wiped their web site within the last 12 hours.

@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 @kopper granted, #TechIlliterates & #Consoomers are just a bad standard to begin with and aligning with the bottom barrel is always gonna lower one's standard.

People need to realize there's not one perfect app.

  • They can have multiple very good optioms that do their part or one shitty bloatware that does nothing even halfway acceptable.

The former are #IRC, #XMPP+#OMEMO, #WebCall, #OnionShare, #Linphome, #Mumble, …

The latter one are #MicrosoftTeams, #Discrord, #QQ, #WeChat, #iMessage, #Signal, #Matrix, …

“A video shared thousands of times on a Chinese (#CCP) #SocialMedia platform claiming a re-elected #Albanese government would adopt “the far-left agenda” of the #Greens and potentially seize vacant homes was created by a member of a #WeChat group campaigning for the Liberal party in a marginal Melbourne seat.

The six-minute video, narrated by a woman who refers to herself as #AuntieGuoer, also claims any minority Albanese government that might rely on the Greens would “crackdown on the #MiddleClass” and lead to the #decline of “traditional #SocialStructures”.”

I see this is happening in the seat of #Aston and past Liberal seat of a political favourite of mine, #TudgyFudge 🤪🤣☺️ Given the subject matter I’d lay a bet this is the work of ex AFP Officer, #SandraBourke and #MatthewSheahan who now has removed all biographic links. Why?

The #GeekProblem: Why Open Development Is Stuck in a Dead End

It’s no sin to have to submit to the #dotcons overlords—we all do it, whether we like it or not. Just recently, I found myself installing that vile spyware known as #WeChat because this was the only way to talk to the people I needed to talk to. That bitter swipe to hide the app from view brought a momentary sense of agency, but the reality remains: we are still too often failing at building out the #openweb that normal people find useful The fundamental question is: why? It's too […]

Misinformation was rife as the wildfires spread across Los Angeles last month, and that wasn’t just happening in English language media. For @thexylom, Aorui Pi explains how platforms like WeChat and RedNote served as a vector for fake news, which may have made life harder for Chinese immigrants living in fire-affected areas.

> any kind of "everything app" should be seen as captivity

When I lived in China I found I couldn't socially exist without their everything app; WeChat. Even putting aside the privacy horrorshow, the power TenCent have because every other company effectively has to transact through WC is terrifying.

When FarceBook tried to do the Libra/ Diem payment integration, it was obvious who they were emulating. Very glad it failed.

TikTok, AliExpress & Co liefern europäische Daten an China aus.

Nach zwei erfolgreichen Anfechtungen des #Datentransferabkommen's zwischen den #USA und der #EU nehmen wir nun chinesische #TechUnternehmen genauer unter die Lupe: Mitte Januar haben wir Beschwerden gegen #TikTok, #AliExpress, #SHEIN, #Temu, #WeChat und #Xiaomi wegen unrechtmäßiger #Datentransfer's nach #China eingereicht.

Es gibt genügend Gründe, sich Sorgen über die Übermittlung persönlicher ..
