UPDATES 🚨 There is currently NO federal privacy law protecting your data.
And Congress wants to change that, but maybe not in the way you'd hope.
We just updated the most comprehensive Privacy Bill Tracker on the internet. Check out the Headlines:
⚖️ SCOTUS just ruled police need a warrant for geofence data (Chatrie v. United States) Huge win for the 4th Amendment
🤖 98+ AI chatbot bills are moving across 34 states right now, after multiple teen deaths tied to AI companion apps
📱 23 states have privacy laws, but Congress is pushing a federal bill that could wipe out the STRONGER state protections you already have
👁️ DHS is quietly merging facial recognition across CBP, ICE, TSA & USCIS into one system with zero law governing it
This isn't theory. This is happening right now, and most people have no idea.
See exactly where your state stands (updated weekly):

🌐 GrapheneOS vient d’obtenir ses propres adresses internet
Le registre nord-américain (ARIN) leur a attribué un bloc d’adresses IPv4, après une longue liste d’attente. Ces adresses sont rares on n’en fabrique plus
> Ils possèdent maintenant un lot d’environ 1 000 adresses
> Ils vont le découper en 4 paquets, un par site
> Chaque site aura environ 250 adresses utilisables
> Le premier est déjà posé à Toronto, là où tourne leur serveur mail
> Ils avaient déjà deux petits lots pour leurs serveurs DNS
Quand tu loues un serveur, les adresses appartiennent à l’hébergeur... S’il coupe, change, ou a une mauvaise réputation, tu subis
Là, @GrapheneOS annonce ses propres adresses IP (Le trafic arrive chez eux, pas chez un intermédiaire)
Plus de contrôle, moins de dépendance sur les Mail, DNS et services
Ce n’est pas une option dans l’OS de ton téléphone. C’est l’infrastructure derrière leurs services qui se solidifie
Un pas de plus vers l’indépendance grâce au gros travail quotidien de GOS pour protéger la Privacy (dans un monde où cela devient suspect !)
De plus en plus rare... Merci et soutien à vous 👏

Signal just had its biggest week in years.
Two phones, one account. You can finally link a second Android or iPhone as a secondary device instead of burning a whole new number on it. Up to five linked devices, all in sync.
Automatic key verification is live. No more meeting up to compare safety numbers like it's 2014. Signal now keeps a transparent ledger of public keys, and your app checks it for you. Green check, done.
The number was always the weakest link. Watch that space.

‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic is expected to tell investors its total addressable market exceeds $30 TRILLION — topping SpaceX's record $28.5T, per WSJ.
For scale: the 191 tech companies in the S&P 1500 booked $2.4 trillion in revenue last year. Anthropic's Q2 revenue was $11.6 billion.

Starting at the top of the hour I'll be going live with @binaryranch to talk about what they are shipping on @openhome and for a live unboxing of a dev kit!
Can't wait to see what they're cooking.
Drop by and say hello!

Why did Sarah Connor put her phone in a chip bag?
To stop tracking.
With its metallic lining, it worked as a Faraday bag, blocking wireless signals.
Faraday bags are a practical privacy tool everyone should know about.
Also helpful for escaping Terminators.

Declaration of Digital Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident in the digital age:
That every person has the right to speak without surveillance.
That every person has the right to think without manipulation.
That every person has the right to move through the world without being tracked.
That every person has the right to communicate privately.
That no corporation and no government holds any legitimate authority to override these rights, and that when any system of power becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to build something different.

The FBI can't legally collect your location history without a warrant.
So it buys it instead.
Same data.
Same surveillance.
No warrant required.
The loophole isn't a bug.
It's the business model.

The man who helped build the FBI’s FISA process told me that the protections he put in place to prevent abuse no longer exist. One by one, he said, those safeguards have been stripped away. The FISA oversight we are promised is a myth.

Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.
Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.
Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

250 years ago, the Founders declared independence from a tyrannical king.
In 2026, it's time to declare digital independence, from the surveillance state that would hand tyrants every tool they need.

Medical privacy is a myth.
HIPAA stripped individuals of the right to consent to how their medical data is shared.
Once collected, that data can be reused in ways you never anticipated.
Ask yourself: how might it be used against people like you tomorrow?

BREAKING: Meta Whistleblowers say WhatsApp private chats can be read by the company, despite promises of end to end encryption.
A lawsuit filed in US court claims Meta misled billions of users worldwide into believing their messages were fully private.
Meta can not be trusted.
BinaryRanch retweeted
don't trust this centralized app, or this centralized app, trust this centralized app (that I made). It's the only centralized app that you can trust.
WhatsApp is not secure. Even Signal is questionable.
Use 𝕏 Chat.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading – X Chat offers e2e encryption but lacks forward secrecy: key compromise exposes all past messages. Private keys are controlled by X, protected only by a 4-digit PIN. Metadata is collected. Signal provides forward secrecy, device-only keys, and minimal metadata.
