Yes, people should not be looking for ways to watch youtube secretly, but support alternative platforms that don’t censor and intimidate people?

Yeah, the title of this post is misinformation. If you read the article it says: “The government, however, has said the bill does not ban end-to-end encryption.” Even in extreme cases it says scanning will be required where “technically feasible.”
People need to relax and pay attention.
They are pretty solid and I trust them. Their spell checker is a bit poor, but Its pretty good for privacy.
I think Tor is kind of stuck as it is. To really fix it’s issues, a new system needs to be built from scratch. Until then we’ll be working with patches and hacks.
It was a big controversy years ago. You can take or leave the info. I don’t have the time to look it up.
Cryptostorm is a honeypot that was discovered years ago. I’m surprised anyone even talks about it still
LibreWolf is about as secure as a browser can get out of the box. Check out the stats here.
IVPN and Mullvad are probably the best VPNs if you simply want to transfer full view of all your internet activity from your ISP to one of these 2 companies. If you want to keep your internet movements private from everyone, use Tor browser. Its slower and doesn’t do udp, but it is much closer to real privacy than the commercial VPNs. Of course, if you are a high priority target of a large nation state, then Tor might not be enough for you, but for most people it works well for those things you want private. If you just want to watch movies, torrent and stuff like that, regular VPNs are the way to go.
Unfortunately Switzerland has no power. They were bullied out of the private banking they were famous for and they will get bullied whenever they have info that some other western state wants. Anyway, the privacy benefits they offer are mostly cosmetic. No ruler wants privacy. When we understand that, then we can stop looking for things that don’t exist and start creating solutions.
Signal has much work to do to be a real “privacy” app. Get rid of phone numbers, get rid of metadata, stop contact mining. They say they don’t mine contacts but it is easy for them to do if they wanted to, so I assume they do.
Tor is great but has speed issues and no udp, so no voip. A lot of room for improvement there also. We should welcome all that try to improve on what we have.
F-Droid is not what many think it is. Check this out for some interesting reading.
Signal is wannabe private because of phone number, metadata and contacts mining (even though they say they don’t, they can). Simplex looks promising and the guy is headed in the right direction. As soon as he makes it that the servers cannot correlate which IP is talking to which IP, I will say they are a really good solution. Telling people to use Tor with your app for privacy is not a solution.
Besides that, it is a very well made app that has a nice UI and works very well. Also many good features.
Briar is secure and private and works reliable. However it eats a lot of battery and no audio or video.
Privacy is diametrically opposed to the ability to control the people you rule over, so no state is privacy friendly. There are only degrees of extremism. The poorer countries are more privacy friendly in the world because they lack the resources to spy on everything. If they could they would spy more.
I’m gonna assume you’re being funny

Props to Brendan! Firefox and Brave are have put their foot down. Now they need our support. I’m hoping that nobody here is using Chrome (or anything else Google for that matter). We the users are what gave Google their power. We wanted free shit and look where that landed us. Time to turn things around.
The asleep will continue to feed those big corps with their blood. The rest of us will move to other solutions. That is life.
Great concept but not stable enough for serious use.
