• WhatsApp forces Pegasus spyware maker to share its secret code

  Just so you know: https://grapheneos.org/ and https://signal.org/ do exist! - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 6 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 6 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org.

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...

• Facebook Extension for Blocking Suggested Feeds and Ad Blocking

  Social Fixer, I have used it for years. Until I started using the FB mobile app I didn't know what it was like to see a feed full of ads. I saw a few but they were rare. When FB makes changes he continues to work on the extension until it adjusts to the new things FB has thrown at us. https://socialfixer.com/. Source: 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Would you use a service that unfollow everyone on your social media?

  Once having used an extension named "Unfollow everyone on facebook at once" proved to be a very effective way to cut down the amount of pointless stuff on FB. Apparently, the extension was too effective and successful to stay unpunished: https://techstory.in/facebook-quashed-chrome-extension-that-lets-you-bulk-unfollow-everyone/ I stumbled over it back then due to the unavoidable Streisand effect and happily so.... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• How do I stop certain videos from popping up in my feed? Read description.

  The Social Fixer extension should be able to filter most of those. Source: 12 months ago

• "Introducing cross-app messaging" popup notice won't go away

  Try this to see if it helps: https://socialfixer.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Social Media Is Dead: What we call social media networks are anything but. Now that they're beginning to unravel, we should ask what it would take to create social media for people, not advertisers.

  Along the same lines is Social Fixer. Mostly the same features, although they tend to fix the sponsored post visibility quicker if you keep the filters updated and properly prioritized (rarely requires effort): Https://socialfixer.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
