UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible
  • Haha yes definitely something to follow. I'm looking forward to lists of companies that left UK because of this (as announced) and lists of companies that stay and thus prove that their end-to-end encryption isn't a real one

  • UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible
  • Haha yes also incredibly that they had to point out this sentence "Tech companies have said scanning messages and end-to-end encryption are fundamentally incompatible."

    Very astonishing how there are some fundamental lacks of understanding from politicians advertising this. Or all on purpose

    Russell Brand allegations question from non American
    www.theguardian.com YouTube suspends Russell Brand’s revenues from his channel

    Google-owned company says move is due to it ‘violating our creator responsibility policy’

    YouTube suspends Russell Brand’s revenues from his channel

    I was reading about the allegations against Russell Brand and couldn't help but wonder how it works legally that his revenue can be blocked based on allegations and before any juridical ruling.

    Don't get me wrong I don't know much about the guy and what he did or didn't do and agree that anyone should be punished according to their crimes.

    But how is this possible with the principal of innocent until proven guilty? I'd be happy if someone could explain me.

    Amid abaya ban, French school sends girl home for wearing kimono: Lawyer
  • Are you talking about American schools?

    If you are : dresscodes in schools are not as wide spread in Europe as they are in the US.

    But in any case the article cites the reasoning behind sending the student home. And it was because of supposedly religious affiliate clothing.

  • Gifs consume unusually high data amounts

    Hello and thanks for the great work on connect.

    Just some feedback for gifs in connect. I use the latest version 1.0.141 on android.

    There seems to be an issue regarding data consumption. I realized that the app uses huge amount of data when playing gifs. So I tested and an embedded gif that was consuming almost 200mb in the app actually only consumes 40mb when played in Firefox on the original hosting website.

    Also the app is quite huge with 0.9 gb on the phone storage. Is this normal? This seems to be alot for an app thats probably doesn't have to cache much data.

    It would be awesome if you could have a look into this.

    Many thanks

    ... Edit: spelling

    AGNARAFALY and MENABE, Madagascar — For Soja and his family, who escaped starvation bred by drought, the December rain hammering their corrugated metal roof should be welcome.
