@signalapp It's not #disinfo when one points out that you demand #PII aka. #PhoneNumbers from Users and that is literally a architectural vulnerability, alongside your #proprietary & #Centralized #Infrastructure.

• #Signal being a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #Solution is literally the reason why I consider it #insecure.

Not to mention the lack of @torproject / #Tor support with an #OnionService or the willingness to fulfill #cyberfacist "Embargoes" or shilling a #Shitcoin #Scam named #MobileCoin!

• #KYC is the illicit activity!!!

And don't get me started on the #cyberfacism that is #CloudAct.

• If you were secure, criminals would've used your platform so hard, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

I may nit have allvthe.evidence yet, but #Signal stenches like #ANØM: #Honeypot-esque!

@jnthnkl
Just FYI, the Canadian equivalent of the FBI says tuta is a #honeypot.

Obviously tuta deny it, but their rebuttal is pretty thin.

No one seems to take this seriously, though, so who knows?

@randomString
High-level Canadian intelligence officer Cameron Ortiz claimed it is a #honeypot op:

@sb @jonah

#Tutanota #honeypot?

On the + sie they publish their whole client code in GitHub (for what that's worth). I am not an #ITsec expert and cannot judge if there are still backdoors possible.

This Otis guy is a murky figure, parts of his story don't make sense as apparently HE was asked by the criminals to use the service first.

It's easy to damage reputations in this domain, so what's a bit surprising is that Tutanota did not sue Ortis for these extremely damaging statements to wash themselves clean (his claims would have undergone scrutiny in a court trial then).

(Dear @Tutanota team, why didn't you?

@sb, are there other indications for the honeypot claim? because this single one doesn't completely hold for me.

@jonah
Oh nooo :(

I've heard good things about #tutaMail. It appears to be #openSource.

I do seem to remember possibly hearing something similar to what's happening now to proton happening to them though... I'm digging around for it.

*edit: oh right... It's a #honeypot set up (at least in part) by my government:

https://torontosun.com/news/national/ex-official-accused-of-leaking-secrets-says-he-didnt-betray-rcmp-absolutely-not

Additionally, it was never actually open source, either.

(This has so many advantages; it really is money well spent. For one, you can use it to argue that you’re not a monopoly – though, as recent rulings have shown, within limits. Then, you can have that champion of Definitely The Opposite Of Horrible Thing X advocate for self-regulation tactics like Do Not Track that stave off regulation for years, perhaps even a decade if you’re lucky. But that’s not all. You also gain a voice that can lobby softly for lack of regulation at institutions like the EU when your direct lobbying might be more suspect. Not to mention a honeypot that can attract people who actually care about the issues and keep them busy on projects you know won’t make a real difference. But, whatever you do, do train your future heads of public policy better so they don’t beg their friends at conferences they’re both speaking at to “go easier on us”, proclaiming “I don’t know why you’re holding to us such a higher standard, we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.” Because those quiet parts should never be spoken out loud. Tsk, tsk.)

@danie10 @blenderdumbass funny how #australia don't list discord as a thing to ban....

....could it be because #discord is a cloudflare #honeypot for grooming the kiddies (-i mean) *AIRQUOTES* #gamers?

You use XMPP+OMEMO because you think it's neat.

I use XMPP+OMEMO because all centralized, single-vendor and/or single-provider messengers are inherently garbage, collect PII like phone numbers for no "legitimate reason" and don't offer proper End-to-End - Encryption with self-custody of all the keys, making them either honeypots or prime targets for warrants.

• We are not the same!

Gern geschehen @BlumeEvolution.

Ich betreibe schon seit gut zehn Jahren meinen eigenen Friendica-Server und davor war ich kurz auch auf Diaspora aktiv. Solche Troll-Wellen kommen leider immer mal wieder vor, nervten bis jetzt aber immer nur kurzzeitig. Auf Diaspora waren es mal sehr unangenehme Faschos. Irgendein Spaßvogel hat dann mal einen #Honeypot Beitrag verfasst der diese Typen dann sehr schön getriggert hat so das man alle Block-Kandidaten in einem Thread finden konnte, das hat eine Zeit lang für Ruhe gesorgt.

Vermutlich handelt es sich ja bei Deinem speziellen Freund auch um ein und dieselbe Person oder einen Wandertroll wie ich sie nenne. Solche Wandertrolle ploppen leider auch von Zeit zu Zeit mal hier auf, verlieren aber in der Regel schnell die Lust daran. Letztendlich geht es für einen Admin ja deutlich schneller solche Accounts zu blockieren als solche Accounts anzulegen (Von einem sehr unangenehmen Exemplar von Wandertroll habe ich mindestens 30 seiner Inkarnationen in meiner Blockliste stehen bis er die Lust verlor ... ).

Generell glaube ich, dass das #Fediverse ganz gut gegen Trolle und Artverwandte geschützt ist, die meisten Admins und Mods sind ja sehr bemüht. Dauert manchmal leider ein paar Stunden bis Tage aber insgesamt vermutlich schneller und effektiver als bei Twitter/FB usw.
