iOS vs. GrapheneOS

In terms of #privacy and #security, GrapheneOS absolutely crushes iOS on so many levels. A few awesome features are listed here.

🧵
@GrapheneOS is an #opensource operating system based on AOSP, focused on #security and #privacy. It is designed to be used on mobile devices, and includes features such as verified boot, sandboxing, and exploit mitigations.
It also includes the ability to use different encryption methods, and the ability to use VPNs and the Tor network to enhance #privacy.

GrapheneOS is geared more towards security-conscious and privacy-conscious users and has a #opensource ecosystem.

Be safer online in 2023 by following these basic tips.

#CyberSecurityAwareness #cybersecurity #privacy

🧵
Check if your emails, phone numbers, passwords, etc. have been breached on @haveibeenpwned / Firefox Monitor.

More info -

Use secure passwords that are unique for every account you have. Do not include PII in your passwords, such as your name or birthdate.

I suggest using a passphrase with at least five words or a complex password with at least 25 characters. A password manager can come in handy.

Why is data so important? Well explained by @harari_yuval

More data, more power.

Where is our data going? Who’s handling our data? Do they have our consent to use it in a particular way?
Value of data is increasing as we speak.

Twitter vs. Mastodon - how do they work?

🧵 Twitter vs Mastodon
Trump's brand-new social network 'Truth Social' used Mastodon's code. @joinmastodon

Reference: blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/trumps…
Mastodon's revenue is not dependent on advertisers like other social media companies like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok, etc. The ad-based revenue model isn't necessarily good in all cases as ads=tracking leads to the users -> product and advertisers -> customers Credit: Four Week MBA

My humble suggestions to improve @Twitter

@elonmusk
🧵
- Twitter algorithm #opensource
(What does the algorithm do exactly? Is it harmful or actually doing any good? No algorithm - sort by timeline)

- Try our best to achieve free speech (not a fan of censorship, but we also have to follow the law of the land)
- Give users more privacy options so it can also be a platform for highly targeted individuals like journalists, whistle-blowers, activists, etc.

- Community guidelines to be run by the Twitter community, not by a small group of people at the top (decentralized decisions)

RT @cora@kolektiva.social
Signal has a new feature that is very social media-y called "stories" which (puts on out-of-touch hat) is apparently an instagram thing. Before y'all go being all social-y in an E2EE messaging app, please do not choose "All Signal Connections" (1/5)
without extreme caution.

"All Signal Connections" includes:
🌟Everyone you've ever messaged.
🌟Everyone in a Signal group you've ever been in.
🌟Everyone in your address book if you connected it to signal (which until now I considered safe b/c no one knew but you) even if (2/5)
you never messaged them.

So this could be:
🌟 Your ex.
🌟 Your other ex.
🌟 That neighbor from 10 years ago.
🌟 That person in that board game group who looks at you weird.
🌟 That cop who is in the giant Signal loop that we recommend against being in because you never (3/5)
