  • Almost all the citations use quotation marks except this one:

    The Palestinian health ministry says at least 36 Palestinians were killed - 21 from Jenin governorate - in that time. Most of the dead have been claimed by armed groups as members, but the ministry says children are also among those killed.

    The bolded text (normal text in the article) seems to be genocidal misinformation/propagana. I don’t belive that the PA (or Hamas) health ministry said that phrase.

    To compensate the exces of quotes to the IOF, this is the statement of the PFLP:


    🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

    The martyrdom of Turkish-American activist Aisha Ezgi is a continuation of a long series of occupation targeting all free voices.

    - The martyrdom of the Turkish-American activist, Aisha Noor Ezgi, after being shot in the head by occupation forces near Mount Sbeih in the town of Beita, south of occupied Nablus, is yet another Zionist crime added to the occupation’s black record of targeting foreign activists in solidarity with our people.

    - This crime brings to mind a long series of crimes committed by the occupation against international solidarity activists, from the assassination of American activist Rachel Corrie and British activist Tom Hurndall in Rafah, to the attack on the “Mavi Marmara” ship breaking the siege, which led to the martyrdom of ten activists, among other continuous attacks and practices against those in solidarity.

    - The occupation continues to target anyone who stands for justice and defends our people, further proving that this entity poses a threat to all of humanity and every free voice striving for justice, not just to the Palestinian people.

    - The Front calls on all the free people of the world to unite efforts to confront this zionist, U.S.- and Western-backed usurper entity, and to work on documenting these crimes as war crimes against humanity, contributing to enhancing international efforts to isolate this rogue and rejected entity, and to prosecute its leaders as war criminals before international courts.

  • I agree that signal has a more robust security model. What I mean is that itbhasbalso habe risks, and a lot of people are ignoring it.

    The backdoor could be a sleeping function activated from outside to targets of interest or ‘special’ updates from the google store (i.e.: with the help of google install a different version of the app to the target). But I’m not a security nor android expert, and it’s all theoretical if this attack vector is possible, but I think that is unlikely.

    Also, if the NATO country where I live wants to spy my mobile, it would use Pegasus 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Off topic: The Signal reproducible builds don’t work since, at least, may.


  • Signal can add backdoors to their own app and, if the app get compromised (or the device) the security of the encryption model is not relevant. It’s the reason because I see comparable Signal and Telegram.

    Signal is open source, but (info based in this 3 years old thread on f-droid):

    1. Have binary blobs and propietary dependencies.
    2. Don’t let reproducible builds.
    3. It’s hostile to forks (they blocked libreSignal from their servers)
    4. Don’t want independent builds from f-droid (nor any fork in f-droid)

    Which no seems FOSS friendly.










  • This article is a not sense. There is not a monopoly of identity: a lot of corporations and big tech have an ID about us or, at least, about me.

    Also, in my case, the state have paid most of my education, my healthcare, the street where I live… nor google not other big tech have paid a dime for it.

    The critic in the article has his points, but the proposed solution—using capitalist enterprises to issue IDs—is nonsense. We will lose track of people from a fiscal point of view, and it will not solve the problem of the people that not any corporation would issue an ID.
