"At least Florida’s SB 868/HB 743, “Social Media Use By Minors” bill isn’t beating around the bush when it states that it would require “social media platforms to provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement obtains a subpoena.” Usually these sorts of sweeping mandates are hidden behind smoke and mirrors, but this time it’s out in the open: Florida wants a backdoor into any end-to-end encrypted social media platforms that allow accounts for minors. This would likely lead to companies not offering end-to-end encryption to minors at all, making them less safe online.

Encryption is the best tool we have to protect our communication online. It’s just as important for young people as it is for everyone else, and the idea that Florida can “protect” minors by making them less safe is dangerous and dumb.

The bill is not only privacy-invasive, it’s also asking for the impossible."

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Florida’s New Social Media Bill Says the Quiet Part Out Loud and Demands an Encryption BackdoorAt least Florida’s SB 868/HB 763, “Social Media Use By Minors” bill isn’t beating around the bush when it states that it would require “social media platforms to provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement obtains a subpoena.” Usually these sorts of sweeping mandates...

#Chatcontrol would be a good reason for my country to get out of the #EU.

It’s like ‘privacy and security for some by means of a backdoor for all’. That ain’t gonna fly!

#Encryption and secure communications should be a basic human right and law enforcement should just do their fuckin’ work: get off their lazy asses and investigate shit with proper grounds/suspicious.

Techdirt · EU Commission Kicks Off 2025 With Yet Another Plea For Backdoored EncryptionThe EU Commission spent most of 2024 getting knocked around by opponents of its anti-encryption efforts. While it did find some support from countries with, shall we say, more authoritarian urges, …

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and also an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

Lately I've been doing more #SelfHosting again due to the current situation. Of course, I'm paying particular attention to power consumption and noise. After good experiences with the #ARM64 architecture, even with power-hungry applications such as Mastodon, I'm now using the smartphone technology for my homeservers, too.

There are #SBCs with more open hardware, but the #RaspberryPi is widely available, well documented, powerful and inexpensive. And it is available with up to 16 GB of RAM.

Anyone operating a server on the Internet must install #security updates quickly. However, many people forget to restart running software so that the new version runs instead of the old one. The #needrestart tool helps with this on Debian-based Linux systems, which unfortunately is usually not pre-installed.

On my Raspberry Pi 4, needrestart always runs correctly (automatically after apt upgrade). On my Raspberry Pi 5, however, I first had to create a configuration file as described by the main developer here:
github.com/liske/needrestart/b
Previously, the tool always claimed that a reboot was necessary because it thought an outdated Linux kernel was running.

Next, I want to activate #LUKS hard drive encryption on both raspis. Unfortunately, this is not as easy under #Raspbian or #RaspberryPiOS as on other Debian systems. If you have managed this: Please let me know how you did it!

"In early 2022 information technology security researcher Hanno Böck discovered that some of these encryptions could be cracked in a process that he went on to describe in a 2023 preprint paperposted to the International Association for Cryptologic Research’s Cryptology ePrint Archive. His method can be traced back to one developed by the French scholar Pierre de Fermat in the 17th century.

Fermat—most famous for his mysterious 'last theorem,' which vexed experts for decades—contributed all kinds of useful things to the world of science in his lifetime. For example, he laid the foundations for the theory of probability and also worked a lot on prime numbers—those values that are only divisible by 1 and themselves.

Mathematicians suspected they could use Fermat’s work to break encryption—and Böck demonstrated that case."

Is your organization truly encrypting email or just assuming it's secure?

Despite rising threats and regulatory pressure, encrypted email adoption remains low in many industries. Most sensitive messages are still exposed after delivery—leaving you open to breaches, insider threats, and compliance risks. Principal Consultant Ben Kast dives into the technical details in his new blog, as well as advice on the pros and cons of different email encryption options.
