  • 702 allows the US National Security Administration (NSA) to collect information/data worldwide which has the side effect of collecting some US persons information/data. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is a government agency that’s supposed to monitor other agencies for things like privacy concerns in regards to national security laws. The PCLOB has agreed with the EFF that 702 should have significant reform to improve protections for US citizens before it gets reauthorized. 702 expires at the end of this year, and the EFF believes it should expire first to remove any information that has already been collected.

    One of the biggest concerns is that US law enforcement can and has been searching this data without a warrant, thus violating US citizens right to privacy.










  • I have been giving all the apps a go as well. I was using RIF for over 5yrs prior to the switch. I grabbed the sync app as soon as it was available and was so impressed that I immediately bought ultra, mostly to support the developers. I know it’s steep, but maybe as more users start using lemmy the price will come down a bit.

    So far I am very impressed with sync. I love how granular the controls are even to the point of having different settings for different logins. Account switching is super easy between several alts that I have and I am really looking forward to being able to import my community subscription to my back up instances in the near future. More than happy with my purchase and I hope the developers continue their outstanding work.
