Nancy Faeser promises instead to increase police budget for classic detective work when investigating online platforms distributing sexualised violence against children. She also acknowledged that much of the violence occurs "offline", often in the home environment and commits to improve assistance for female victims of domestic violence

A balanced interview in my opinion with a Rolling Stone journalist and war correspondant who spent a lot of time on the ground in Ukraine. He tells of his perspective of the limited access that is provided by Ukrainian authorities to journalists trying to visit contact zones, military units or hospitals etc. At the same time he states his support of weapons deliveries to Ukraine and condemns alltogether the Russian invasion of Ukraine (as does Mate). Worth listening to in full length.

Guys, I use and love both XMPP and Matrix however I don’t see masses adopting them in fact I can’t even convince my immediate family to use them. People want reliable push notifications and cute stickers :-) I think Signal is a good compromise, I know it’s US based (I discuss this in the post) however it’s zero knowledge. The code is open source if there were vulnerabilities we would probably know by now…


The age of Signal has come
Recent intrusive changes in the privacy policy of WhatsApp (including the sharing of never before seen amounts of unencrypted user data with the parent company Facebook) have prompted a mass exodus of WhatsApp users to the secure and open-source alternative Signal. I have been hoping for a change like this for years. I wrote a non-technical blog post about the problems with WhatsApp in detail, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of other messaging apps as well. https://output.ilonagabor.de/general/2021/01/11/Signal.html
