Strypey"I went and talked to a bunch of experts and some former USDS/ GSA government people, who could explain the importance of why US Digital Service, now the US DOGE service, was such a legally ingenious way for them to establish DOGE. Because before then everyone had thought it would be a Federal Advisory Committee, of which there thousands, and they're important, but they're not particularly powerful."<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/VittoriaElliot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VittoriaElliot</a>, Wired, 2025<a href="https://www.techpolicy.press/part-1-technology-democracy-and-powerjournalisms-role-in-a-time-of-crisis/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techpolicy.press/part-1-technology-democracy-and-powerjournalisms-role-in-a-time-of-crisis/</a>(1/2)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#podcasts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TechPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechPolicy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/USDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a>

Brian Greenberg🚨 Florida’s new “Social Media Use by Minors” bill (SB 868/HB 743) has a chilling twist: it demands platforms create backdoors to decrypt private messages.That means: 🔓 End-to-end encryption may be turned off 📵 Disappearing messages could be banned 🧒 Minors lose digital privacy 💣 All users may face weaker securityEFF warns this is a dangerous precedent that risks everyone’s online safety. Legislating away encryption doesn’t protect kids — it jeopardizes all of us.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Encryption</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechPolicy</a> <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/floridas-new-social-media-bill-says-quiet-part-out-loud-and-demands-encryption" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/floridas-new-social-media-bill-says-quiet-part-out-loud-and-demands-encryption</a>

Daniel ThomasPerhaps we should stop buying unicorns? You can buy a whole herd of horses for the same price. Sure unicorns can run really fast and carry heavier loads than horses, but they get fat, lazy, and grumpy and start skewering people with their pointy horn. Horses are easily replaceable unlike unicorns and with standardised equipment you can use many horses together to achieve the same goals. Unicorns insist on custom kit that you can't even reuse on other unicorns. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/TechPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechPolicy</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UnicornCompanies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnicornCompanies</a>
