It seems useless to me, at least regarding the cybersecurity aspect. Of course, it's helpful when people ask for my contact information, and I don't want to share my phone number or email address.

But they still require information that could be used to prove or be linked to my identity for registration, right? This means a hacker could still reveal your IP address, phone number, email, and your passcode. Likewise, the development team can access these as well.

I know I'm overly cautious about my privacy, but that's just how I am.

Monopolistic.....

The same threat actor has leaked larger amounts of data from LinkedIn dated 2023. They claim this new data contains 35M lines and is 12 GB uncompressed.

A year after he bought Twitter for $44 billion, Musk thinks the company is now worth $19 billion, a 55 percent drop.

Let's recap what he did to Twitter, I will go first:

• Changed the original name Twitter to X.

Btw, I found WireMin is kind of interesting.

It’s an dapp, actually a decentralized social network, but more than Nostr, that’s how they described themselves. https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin

I believe the "Online Safety Bill" should be renamed the "Online Exposure Bill," and here's why:

1. Age verification likely involves estimating age based on biometric data – essentially, using an algorithm to scan a photo or video of the user." making our identity transparent in the digital world.

2. "Client-side scanning, where a phone or other device would scan the content of a message before it’s encrypted and flag or block violating material." This effectively renders E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) useless!

This occurs because some platforms sell real phone numbers that haven't been registered on Telegram(or other platforms require phone number or email to register), as well as email addresses.

We should be cautious about sharing our phone number or email address online. Once it's out there, it can be challenging to erase, cuz they are all saved in a cloud server, and keeping everything in one place is easy for hacker to attack(don't ask me y).

Now, Twitter/X requires users to verify their ID From my perspective, the digital realm should remain separate from our offline lives. Internet exists because it offers us capabilities that are restricted in the physical world.

People should really start to migrate. I only use Twitter for daily news check, for other communication or disscussion needs.

What are you guys using for these services? I use WireMin, cuz it is decentralized, which means no central cloud server to keep our data, and not require personal info to create an ID.

Data leaks everywhere...
