This was rightfully classified as spam, but it's the second email from someone pretending not to be spammers. It angers me.

My website is #cookie- and #tracker-free and any potential #logging on the #hoster site is covered by "#LegitimateInterest" like fending off #DDoS attacks and tracing as well as twarting #hacking attempts.
Ecuador establishes framework for legitimate interest data processing: Ecuador's data protection superintendent issues comprehensive regulations on November 7 requiring documented balancing tests before companies can process personal data based on legitimate interest. https://ppc.land/ecuador-establishes-framework-for-legitimate-interest-data-processing/ #Ecuador #DataProtection #LegitimateInterest #PrivacyRegulations #PersonalData
@purplepadma #KYC Is the #IllicitActivity!
- Ask the people who got kidnapped for their #Bitcoin...
#Anonymity is a #HumanRight and #BlueSky has no #LegitimateInterest in demanding an #ID or any other proof of age!
@walkinglampshade @jrredho @fj It's basic #InfoSec, really:
- @signalapp has no "#LegitimateInterest" to demand #PII like a #PhoneNumber and they use and abuse that to restrict functionality of their App (it doesn't matter that they merely claim "comply with #sanctions" [their #MobileCoin #Shitcoin #Scam disqalifies them even more!] because they have the tech to distinguish and discriminate users)...
Thus #Signal fails at protevting #Journalists and theor sources because they do have that data and can be #subopena'd for it if they don't already provide #BulkSurveillance & #LawfulInterception #API|s to comply with #CloudAct. (Or are you guys so naive and believe @Mer__edith will risk dying of old age in jail for non-paying users?)
And if you believe "this won't ne used/abused me because I'm from 'Murica!" and point at #ANØM as an example, then you really ignored all tze #Cyberfacism since 9/11…
#TLDR: @signalapp HAS NO "#LegitimateInterest" TO DEMAND A #PhoneNumber (or any #PII for that matter) TO BEGIN WITH!
- #BDSG literally bans such unnecessary data collection per law!
@lispi314 @lauren Not.only.that, but with a #PhoneNumber it makes it trivial to get details from @signalapp targeting a known individual.
- And with the prevalence of #Govware and the fact that there is literally no #LegitimateInterest since #Signal abandoned #TextSecure, it's yet another design flaw that is beibg intentionally kept instead of fixing it at all!
1) #CloudAct is just #CyberFacism, look it up!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
- And with #Trumpism ravaging the #USA must be considered as #hostile as #Russia and the "P.R." #China by anyone who takes #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ComSec seriously!
-
2) @signalapp 's #Server code is proprietary and since it's centralized we can't trust that the code they release is what's running on their backend!
- Plus their #App doesn't allow #ReproducibleBuilds (if Signal was #FLOSS it would be on @fdroidorg / #Fdroid) but alas it isn't!
-
3) #Signal still demands #PhoneNumbers which are #PII either by association (#Number => #ICCID = #SIM = #IMSI => #IMEI => Location Data as I explained beforetwice) or mandatory #KYC / #ID requirements (even on prepaid cards), which an increasing amount of juristictions do...
- They have no "#LegitimateInterest" demanding said #PersonallyIdentifyingInformation to begin with!
-
But don't take my word for it.

- Ask yourself if you'd trust someone peddlibg #Shitcoin #Scams like #MobileCoin with your data!
First the #LegitimateInterest loophole around literally any #cookie consent and now more and more pages ask you to give up your privacy or pay a monthly fee to almost have no profiling and almost no adverts.
I really wonder why the @EUCommission is so chill with methods like this?
Maybe theyre too busy pushing out the next skewed legislation in their DMA wars?
“Legitimate interest” -
Die! x10k x10k x10k x…
I don’t boost posts promoting websites that lead me down a ‘Legitimate interest’ garden path
📢 @EtienneDrouard: "Scraping of data and training AI should be compatible with the #GeneralDataProtectionRegulation and #LegitimateInterest. This means protecting people, not asking for their consent."
Session on #consent and #legitimateinterest at #dma conference. Speakers include @CR_UK. Audience was asked - who has read GDPR?
I don't compromise on #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec and #ComSec.
If I were to use #Signal or #Threema or #Telegram or #SimpleX or whatever shit messenger is trendy, I'd indirectly vouch for it and endorse it.
- Which I won't given ample of examples like Telegram, #EncroChat, #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield and all the garbage that #CryptoAG released.
Trust must be earned, and @signalapp didn't even bother to do basic design considerations:
- All their "but #Metadata" #FUD is horseshite when they demand #PII like a #PhoneNumber and are openly able and willing to discriminate and/or restrict service solely based off said info they have NO "#legitimateInterest" in demanding at all!
@privacyint Furthermore your website contains #Cloudflare #Cookies & [malicious per concept] #JavaScript, which has no "#LegitimateInterest" to be there.
- There are no legitimate reasons to use #ClownFlare and other enablers and supporters of #StochasticTerrorism, espechally when there are better alternatives on the market!
Please reconsider your #TechStack AND the opening, cuz 40k p.a. won't get you a legal consultant except #remote or part-timer...
@GrapheneOS @thomas @wonka Also I think the issues usually outweigh the benefits - at least when we look at individuals & devices owned by consumers vs. corporate #ITsec where locking down devices is seen as desireable!
- It should be the sole discretion of the devices' owners whether or not such a feature should be used or accessible and it shpuld be disallowed to coerce people into "consenting" under threat of denied access.
Because for every "#LegitimateInterest" (i.e. #2FA #Authenticator) I can find a dozen reasons this "functionaloty" should be discontinued and considered malware.
Whoever at @EUCouncil decided to install #ClownFlare-like, #ableist bs like this deserves to get fired!
- This shit should be illegal, because #JavaScript like that is at best #bricking #ScreenReaders and is rather #malware IMHO!
Espechally since there is no "#LegitimateInterest" for blocking @torproject / #Tor users from accessing i.e. press releases anonymously!
FIX THAT SHIT - NOW!
https://www.consilium.europa.eu
@dangillmor @eff Yes, but also acknowledge obvious misguidings.
Only if you exercise #SelfCustody of all the keys are you in control and able to exercise your right to remain silent!
Only choose fully #decentralized, #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider solutions that - if necessary - can be #SelfHosted, like #PGP/MIME for #eMail and #XMPP+#OMEMO for #InstantMessaging.
NEVER EVER TRUST ANY PROVIDER / SERVICE, CUZ THEY WILL TALK IF HELD AT GUNPOINT - yes that includes @signalapp which collect #PII like #PhoneNumbers for no "#LegitimateInterest" to this day, making them at best #UsefulIdiots of the #EncroChat kind but most likely a giant #Honeypot like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield.
Use @torproject / #Tor & #TorBrowser instead of a #VPN because it's proven to be battle-tested against bad - including state-sponsored - actors trying to hijack Tor infrastructure!
Realize and acknowledge the abilities AND limitations of every method, tool, software, etc.
Dammit.
There is no "#LegitimateInterest" for spying on me while I read something, dear internet.
If in a library someone would try to go through my purse while I read a paper .. that would end very badly for that person.
Maby the anonymus ad-people of #Cookiedom should get their fair share of being beaten up too.
