It’s one of the reasons I think public voting is a terrible idea. It’s a wet dream for hyper-targeted engagement farming. Even to the point it creates a bit of a nightmare scenario for spear phishing and malware injection. The stated “transparency” benefits just seem incredibly trivial compared to the risk, especially when actual malicious actors will simply spam bots and alts, while actual users must navigate this weirdly huge threat surface for basically no good reason.

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End EncryptionEnglish
3·12 days agoYes, any time you can store and recover encrypted cloud archives across devices, without needing to transfer keys between devices, it implies that there is a key archive somewhere in the cloud. Even Signal struggles to get this both user friendly and properly secure without compromising forward secrecy. I believe they still actually make you explicitly do a local key transfer to populate a new device, even though they have cloud archives now. Whatsapp doesn’t do that. And the app also clearly leaks some amount of unencrypted data anyway, archives or not.

41·22 days agoWhat more evidence do you need that hasn’t already been leaked? There’s not going to be a notarized letter which says “I, Donald Trump, Fuck Children.”
On the other hand, there is a fucking birthday letter to Epstein where Trump very clearly does a “wink wink we have the same secret wink wink.” Like it literally calls his relationship to a known pedophile a “wonderful secret.”

1·1 month agoHawaiian natives voted to become a state seeking protection from various robber Barrons who were exploiting their land. Prior to that the US government generally took measures against the plantation owners at request of the locals. Yes, that imperialism kind of originated from the US, but it wasn’t like an invasion and subjugation.
Puerto rico was ceded to the US after ot defeated Spain in the Spanish American war. It was quickly granted a form of pseudo independence, but then voted for protectorate status over full independence in the early 1900s.
