Reject "apps"
Retvrn to offshore websites that don't store logs
Stop trying to avoid the lists. We should be trying to put so many names on these lists that they become equivalent to a census. Hiding doesn't work so stand up and fight in the light or accept that you'll die in the shadows.
Why was that type of user info stored in the first place?
EDIT: Derp. I need fresh glasses. I read "what" instead of "why".
It's listed very early on in the article.
The exposed information reportedly includes full names, user credentials, phone numbers and precise location data for more than 100,000 registered users. One post indicated that the breach involved detailed GPS coordinates, potentially identifying activists' residences or frequent locations.
Yes but why?
Oh, "why". Fuck I'm blind. I read "what". My bad.
No worries, mate. We all have days like that.
Why are you collecting this info anyway? It's obvious you'll be a target of a warrant or hack or some sort.
I think it's just a natural consequence of organizing. You have to know who you are and what you're doing.
Probably a good idea to start using paper files though
Collecting that data is the point for most of these websites
And another group of people learn what “toxic data” is!
Hmmmm, if only we could have seen this coming... People predicted this when ICEBlock came to be and it was just a matter of time until it would happen for one of these platforms. You gotta run small local groups for this type of stuff. Decentralizing is the name of the game.
I remember someone reviewed ICEBlock’s code and reported some issues and the dev was so defensive and rudely dismissed it. I think it was eventually determined that it was a minor issue, but the main takeaway from that is just because it’s for a good cause, it doesn’t mean you should fully trust the developer. They’re still human at the end of the day.
Yeah, seriously, federated cell structure is the way to go here
