@JessTheUnstill @Pibble Yes and no.

• #Apple has integrated #Govware #Backdoors for #iOS and served their customers.in the "P.R." China on a silver platter to the government.

The sheer ability and willingness of Apple to do this makes them inherently untrustworty.

• If they cared about #privacy amd #security they'd never been a #PRISM collaborator and rather pulled out of #China than deepthroated Beijing's boots!

#iOS is not like @GrapheneOS where you have means to audit it's integrity on the fly built-in.

@Fr333k @FritzAdalis propably...

Whatever floated #NSA's #cyberfacist boat back then (or today, cuz #PRISM never really ended. It merely got transfered over and legalized (see #CloudAct)...

@cmccullough @LetsRoc also #Microsoft is not only a #PRISM collaborator, but subject to #CloudAct aka. "#Datacenter in #Ireland" isn't even a #figleaf!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

@0x40k well, #Microsoft to this day has a #Backdoor in the #CryptoAPI that remains unfixed to this day...

• And since Microsoft doesn't acknowledge the concept of #consent in #Windows (and doesn't even fake it!) and they are both #PRISM collaborators AND subject to #CloudAct, they #CantFix & #WontFix it!

@olifantenbaer @roman78 @admin Ich sehe das anders:

Effektiv habt ihr damit keine Kontrolle über die IT!

• Je schneller Organisationen diese #UnbequemeWahrheit akzeptieren, umso eher werden diese entsprechend reagieren können und Druck auf Zulieferer und Hersteller ausüben können um dies zu ändern!!

Wer Post-#PRISM & Post-#CliudAct immerboch #GAFAMs und deren #CCSS oder #SaaS nutzt und nicht aktiv dabei ist wegzumigrieren hat es aufgegeben, die eigene #IT zu leiten!!!

@kura @lexi basically

#Government + #Malware.

After all, #Windows incudes not just the #_NSAKEY and #GoldenKeyBoot #backdoors but #Microsoft is a #PRISM collaborator and falls under #CloudAct, thus is not more trustworthy than [insert random tech company from "P.R." China here]...

@eloquence precisely that is my problem with bs like the #TikTokBan...

• It's merely signalling that everything is fine unless it touches #NOBUS Doctrine and threatens the "#GlobalReach" of #NSAbook and it's access via #PRISM-Collaborators.

The fact that #DataBrokers basically act as privatized #intelligence agencies IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

• But that doesn't hurt the #StatusQuo, unlike #DigitalSouvereignity or god forbid people go out of their way to avoid being subject to #CloudAct.

I'd not be surprised if #Trump were to basically create a "DATA-#FATCA" and demand #hosters and #providers outside the #USA to #backdoor their systems and provide #BulkAccess to #US citizens' data to US intelligence unless they want to face sanctions which would basically force them off the Internet due to it's US-centric nature!

@theregister yes #PRISM collaborators ain't banned in the #EU for no good reason.

• I thought #Espionage is a #Felony, espechally when it endangers #NatSec, @bsi @bmi @Bundesregierung ...

@ip6li @TwraSun nickt zustimmend schon allein wegen illegaler #Agententätigkeit (#PRISM) & #Cyberfaschismus (#CloudAct) welche mit #BDSG & #DSGVO inkompatibel sind verbieten sich #GAFAMs und sollten aus Gründen der #InternationalenSicherheit ausgeschlossen werden!

• Wenn #TikTok die "#NationaleSicherheit" der #USA "gefärdet", was ist dann bitte mit der #Govware von #Microsoft wie #Windows?

@ginaintheburg the sheer fact that #Chrome has that #functionality is #evidence for #Govware-Style #malware inside it.

• Whether that's just due to "#GAFAM doing #PRISM shite" or "#CloudAct / #LawfulInterception compliance" is irrelevant for that assessment!

SHITE LIKE THIS is why I use @torproject / #TorBrowser as my Default #Browser!
