New thread for serious and constructive discussion, related to online privacy.

Most people on this planet have voted by their choices and actions that they don’t recognize privacy as a value and a Right they willing to defend - since we (almost) don’t have any left.
You can de-Microsoft and de-Google your hardware use VPN’s and encrypted messaging aps - but it’s more likely that people you communicating with will never do it - and probably even use one of the 3rd party virtual keyboards that in fact work as keyloggers - leaving the doors wide open - and in fact, undoing all your work.
Privacy has sadly become a privilege of few who are willing to earn it thru education and hard work.
But hey, don’t let the masses discourage you from doing what’s right. At the end of the day you can only control yourself even if, to paraphrase the classic, everybody else: “mind is free for rent to any god or government”.

Agree to the whole post. Out of 100 people I talk to, maybe 1 or 2 are willing or even wanting to defend their privacy.

Some good news! The “chat control” law has been rejected, for now anyway, mainly thanks to Germany and countless privacy NGO’s.
However, that doesn’t make security holes in Android disappear. It just means that client-side scanning is off the table for now.
