Privacy@lemmy.ml•If you could have your email provider based in any country, which one would you choose? Which one do you think has the best privacy protections?
7·5 days agoand is legally fighting any order they receive.
I don’t think a provider should fight any order, especially if the chance of success is low or basically zero. It’s also very expensive. A provider that doesn’t have the data in the first place, is legally speaking better.

9·5 days agoGermany, since I’m a German citizen and know my local rights and laws better than anywhere else. Also easier to take legal action against the company if they they mess up.
It isn’t really about detection, they just got a blocklist of domains. There is not much temp mail services can do. Using lesser known or self-hosted solutions usually helps.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Google’s Sideloading Crackdown: Why It’s a Threat to Everyone’s Privacy and Freedom
96·14 days agoWe might want to encourage people to stop using the term “sideloading” and instead say “installing” because that’s what it is; using a different term for it makes it seem unordinary and unintended.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•GrapheneOS Foundation Discusses History Of Phoney Privacy Companies Targeting The Project
6·18 days agoI’ve read almost every drama-related post from the official GrapheneOS account since I researched this whole thing.
And they almost NEVER provide sources. The only exceptions I can think of right now were the cases with Rob Braxman and the French newsletter. That’s the only time they actually provided a source.

5·19 days agoI love it how they don’t provide any proof at all /s, just: “Trust us bro”
Fyi, Mastodon is developed by an European company, so by definition, it’s also a European social network if you chose a fitting instance.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right?
1·25 days agoIt is not a domain registrar, they literally say it in their FAQ.
You do not own the domain then either.

16·26 days agoVia a domain which you have to register with even more personal data.
It is 100 requests every 10 seconds
uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite (both browser extensions) have a similar feature :)
A trustworthy VPN provider is your best solution here. Mullvad, IVPN, and ProtonVPN are common recommendations in the community. I would personally recommend against Windscribe; it is privacy-friendly but has had major bugs repeatedly in the past. If you want to go experimental, check out NymVPN and Obscura (Apple platforms only).

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Should anybody trust Firefox again unless they put "we won't sell your data" back into the privacy policy? (Have they done so...? I can't tell.)
5·1 month agoNo, that has changed since almost 3 years.

11·1 month agoThey collect personal data before you even have the chance to opt out which is a clear violation of the GDPR. They promise to delete it within 30 days when you opt out, but is was collected nonetheless.

1·1 month agoData protection isn’t binary, and you should treat companies, products, etc. as they’re and not mix subjective with objective.
But you’re right, overall is Discord pretty terrible in this regard.
I can recommend following tools:
