Not to put too fine a point on it, different platforms — Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter — all have pros & cons when it comes to privacy. There are no absolutes, no magic bullets, no white knights.
For instance, I wonder whether Twitter are integrated with Tor yet? Let's find out if this thumbnails: nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/2019/01/30/tec…
Doubtless some will chime in with YES BUT CAMBIFACEBOOKYTICARESEARCHAPPCERTIFICATES MEANS EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW — but in truth, nothing has changed. People are just more aware, and risk overfocusing on one thing and ignoring the good/bad that is everywhere.
Aaaaaaaaand no, Twitter linkifies .Onion but does not yet scrape it for thumbnails. Something else for the Twitter todo list.

People who call for regulation of centralised Social Media are going to be really, really upset at the distributed solutions they foment to augment/replace the latter. (tl;dr: this article = nope)
Quite:
Hey @BriarApp, you might be interested in whether someone proposes to regulate / ban you.

Q for #NGINX experts: I'm running a reverse proxy (EOTK/Tor) and want to trap when upstream is sending me: "Content-Encoding: gzip" and return (probably) 406, because reasons.

I think I need ngx_http_upstream_module and $upstream_http_content_encoding.

Am I missing anything?
Reason being: I *always* set "Accept-Encoding: identity", the upstream should _never_ send me gzip/etc, but sometimes it does because CDNs and Vary headers are flaky.
The glory that is Lua:

#Brexit in a nutshell: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I'm confident that the reason we're in this mess is that the men involved in #Brexit are those who grew up on a diet of "Battle", "Warlord" & "Commando" comics, which is how we got our mindless xenophobia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Pi…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord_(…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_…
Nowadays it would all be #CallOfDuty and so forth, but we'd be playing on servers with PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES AND COULD LOOK PAST THE STORYLINE

1. #Antitrust Sherman Act
Antitrust Clayton Act
Antitrust Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914.

#Google , #Twitter and #Facebook violate all 3 Laws.
they must be broken-up and shattered.

remember United States vs. Rockefeller's Standard Oil - 1911
2. "United States Antitrust Law is a collection of Federal and State Government Laws that regulates the conduct and organization of business corporations to promote fair competition."
3. "The Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, State governments and private parties may bring actions in the Courts to enforce the #Antitrust Laws."

Incoming: Friday afternoon #Facebook / #GDPR tweetstorm, because this week has been pretty deflating for us #privacy wonks.

If you're European, you probably got an email from FB this week, with this subject line:

/1
"X, please accept our updated Terms by May 25 to continue using Facebook."

Now, let's talk about how non-compliant that subject line is. It suggest that failing to accept the new terms will result in account suspension. That's a problem.
#GDPR requires consent to be "freely given" and says that services can't be withheld just because the consumer doesn't consent to ALL THE TRACKING.

The last line of the email is "Please go to Facebook to review and accept the Terms" which reinforces the subject line threat.

1. What is #Netflix up to?
Is Netflix following the same model as #Facebook and #Google?
Who is running #Netflix?

cc: @_VachelLindsay_ @TheLastRefuge2
2. Why did #Netflix place #SusanRice on their Board of Directors?

She has no background in entertainment or movie production.
But Susan Rice is experienced in certain online activities - like unmasking secure information.

So why was she added to the Netflix Board of Directors?
3. Why is #Obama currently in negotiations with Netflix to produce a series of "inspirational" videos?
#Obama has a public DISapproval rating of over 50%.
Like Susan Rice, Obama has no background in entertainment or movie production.

1) Most of #history is a total lie, designed by people wanting to infer meaning of historical events in a modern context, as a means to elicit a response from you which suits their needs.

This is a story about the #rothschilds from the early 20th century.

#QAnon #GreatAwakening
2) Even within this tweetstorm are probably a lot of missing nuances. Do tell your stories.

I will start after #WWI and the Treaty of Versailles. It never made sense. Why divide #Germany in these pieces and leave it's people impoverished? Isn't this a recipe for resentment?
3) Why did the #Germans, even though a foreign boot never shot a boot on their soil, make overtures of peace to end the #war, while they were poised to win?

Their objectives were met.

Why was the #USA brought into WWI? Why were large payments sent to #communist #Russia? #QAnon
