I think it is just Ireland though (which is why I added Ireland to the title).

He says nothing about the PIN, so I don’t think that is what protects Signal as OP writes. It simply doesn’t rely on SS7.

You only type your PIN into Signal about once a month.

I found it confusing. Did he explain how the IMSI number is obtained?

Towards the end he said there was a special “interrogation” command that would reveal the IMSI but that loophole is now closed.

Yup. TL;DR…

Search terms for the list ranking include only: “shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”

You make it sound like an arthouse movie yet it is the extreme geeky opposite.

Or were you talking about AI summaries in general rather than this one?

I think you and most people in this thread have been mislead by the article because of the closing remark.

Beyond terrorism, the most dangerous pedophiles communicate on Telegram to exchange content.

But it isn’t the private stuff he is being prosecuted for though AFAIK (although it might have been reported by “traitors” within those chats).

Unlike Signal, there are public chat groups and channels and I presume these are the ones which got him into trouble for propagating illegal activity.

From another article…

terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen goods and others… he allowed an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed, which he did nothing to moderate

The platform has faced issues of misinformation and hate speech, especially antisemitic speech following October 7, 2023.

No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.

Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?

Isn’t spoofing a phone number easy for scammers? If so, I don’t understand why there is (admittedly) so little spam on Signal.

Does Signal require 2FA upon registration? (I cannot recall)

If they are the only two options then it isn’t practical. Wouldn’t six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

RadioLab covered the dawning of the (serendipitous) discovery a few years ago called: “bringing back gamma”.

Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.

And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week’s news anyhow.

Yes on Android I can do split tunnelling too as well as 4G. So a total of four IP’s (not three).

It is annoyingly inconsistent that the Android app split tunnelling is done via an exclusion list but the laptop app does it via an inclusion list.
