If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac and you have not turned on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, you should. Unfortunately, no such capabilities on Google Cloud devices. #security #privacy

Apple Is Back in Court in the UK Over Your iCloud Data. Turn On Advanced Data Protection Today.

The UK government has spent 18 months and two secret orders trying to get into Apple's encryption. It's a good proof point for the effectiveness of Advanced Data Protection.

Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.

DHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.

I keep banging on about this, and I will continue to do so until everyone understands. You need to make a conscious choice. Digital sovereignty and physical ownership go hand in hand. And this is not just a political or business issue, it is a personal issue. #DigitalSovereignty #Privacty #Security

Digital sovereignty is real in Europe. The UK? Not so much

Trump's unpredictability is pushing governments and businesses toward open source while Britain remains glued to US tech

The fallout from last week's hack of Hugging Face got a bit more complicated because OpenAI has since admitted that its GPT-5.6 Sol model and another unreleased AI model autonomously carried out the hack while undergoing internal testing. #AI #Security #Privacy #Hacking #OpenAI

EXCLUSIVE: Its AI agent spent days hacking a company, but sources say OpenAI did not notice for a week

OpenAI noticed after the threat was contained and the FBI was alerted, people familiar with the investigation say.

I still can't believe that our rapist, pedophile president went to bat to get his rich, rapist, pedophile buddies released from Romanian prison and multiple charges of rape and sex trafficking, only to have those criminally vile friends pick up 59 more sex crime charges in the UK shortly thereafter.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.
