Swedish government advises against Zoom: "Sensitive information is at risk" - Nextcloud

From relentless Zoom bombers to $86 million dollar lawsuits, the world has repeatedly been exposed to the implications of Zoom’s security vulnerabilities and privacy issues.

Excellent story on Wired about Telegram's problems with supposedly being "private" and secure, and how Russia is exploiting it wired.com/story/the-kremlin-ha…

IMO Telegram should be treated like Facebook: if you're registered there, don't leave any details, configure all chats to self-delete (especially non-private ones), and FFS do not use it for group chats, whether they're open or closed, as they're not encrypted at all.

Features I didn't know were in #NextcloudTalk?

How about the ability to avoid sending all my messages, and my contacts messages to #Google via #Firebase / #FCM?

*checks*
Nope.

I'll be using #Matrix with #Element/#Fluffychat until you decide that #UnifiedPush is a thing and #privacy is actually important. Users already made #NextPush to make it easier. Is the current situation even #GDPR compliant?

This is more important than making the interface slightly prettier in Hub 3.

What does Nextcloud believe in?

"decentralized products as alternatives to centralized platforms."

"Open source is the only way for users to trust their devices"

...in videos posted only to a centralized, proprietary platform.

Take 10 minutes to set up Peertube channel with automatic mirroring of your videos, doing all the things you say you believe in.

I love Nextcloud, but the way you communicate is undermining your message.

« The Markup tested the websites of Newsweek’s top 100 hospitals in America. On 33 of them we found the #tracker, called the #Meta Pixel, sending #Facebook a packet of #data whenever a person clicked a button to schedule a doctor’s appointment.

“Today’s decision frees hundreds of millions of Europeans from consent spam, and the deeper hazard that their most intimate online activities will be passed around by thousands of companies”.

Great win for privacy! #privacy #GDPR

GDPR enforcer rules that IAB Europe’s consent popups are unlawful

EU data protection authorities find that the consent popups that plagued Europeans for years are illegal. All data collected through them must be deleted. This decision impacts Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses.
