TikTok says it won't encrypt DMs claiming it puts users at risk
TikTok tells the BBC it won't join rival platforms such as WhatsApp and Messenger in using end-to-end encryption.
It's absolutely insane to me that in this day and age a company would reject end-to-end encryption so that cops and feds can actively read people's messages. It also puts that same data at risk from hackers. But that's TikTok, under new U.S. ownership.

There is no way to do this without it becoming a privacy and security nightmare, not just for the wearer but for everyone around them, and the companies just don't care.

Why I have to give Fortnite my passport to use Bluesky
Age verification laws are as ineffective as they are dangerous.
Here's an example of how useless and frustrating internet laws to "protect kids" are in practice: When I'm in Ohio, where I am during the holidays, I can't use my Bluesky DMsβunless I hand over my ID to a company owned by Epic Games. Why? To protect kids, of course!
