BREAKING NEWS: Nate Cardozo, lawyer for @EFF, is joining @Facebook as "Privacy Policy Manager for WhatsApp" — awesome potential future for secure messaging and end-to-end encryption!

People who call for regulation of centralised Social Media are going to be really, really upset at the distributed solutions they foment to augment/replace the latter. (tl;dr: this article = nope)
Quite:
Hey @BriarApp, you might be interested in whether someone proposes to regulate / ban you.

Q for #NGINX experts: I'm running a reverse proxy (EOTK/Tor) and want to trap when upstream is sending me: "Content-Encoding: gzip" and return (probably) 406, because reasons.

I think I need ngx_http_upstream_module and $upstream_http_content_encoding.

Am I missing anything?
Reason being: I *always* set "Accept-Encoding: identity", the upstream should _never_ send me gzip/etc, but sometimes it does because CDNs and Vary headers are flaky.
The glory that is Lua:

Not to put too fine a point on it, different platforms — Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter — all have pros & cons when it comes to privacy. There are no absolutes, no magic bullets, no white knights.
For instance, I wonder whether Twitter are integrated with Tor yet? Let's find out if this thumbnails: nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/2019/01/30/tec…
Doubtless some will chime in with YES BUT CAMBIFACEBOOKYTICARESEARCHAPPCERTIFICATES MEANS EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW — but in truth, nothing has changed. People are just more aware, and risk overfocusing on one thing and ignoring the good/bad that is everywhere.

#BREAKING
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explaining new sanctions on #Iran.
Oil money will be going into a foreign bank account to only be used for humanitarian purposes.
These will be relentless sanctions, he added.

#SanctionsAreComing
US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin
We are imposing the highest pressure on #Iran's regime. Tehran will be facing mounting isolation until they end their malign activities. We are watching the Iranian regime with laser focus.

#SanctionsAreComing
Pompeo:
We understand #Iran is a threat to the US & we are determined to stop them.
Iran's Qassem Suleimani has American blood on his hands.

🔴Facebook ha avuto un problema di sicurezza che ha esposto 50 mln di utenti. Altri 40 a rischio. Per questo 90 mln di utenti devono fare di nuovo il login. Storia in divenire qui comunicato Facebook newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/09/s…
Facebook dice di non sapere origine o identità degli attaccanti e di dover valutare ancora la portata, riferisce il NYT. Ad essere stati sottratti i token di accesso attraverso una vulnerabilità (che sarebbe stata chiusa) nytimes.com/2018/09/28/tec…
No accesso a password, no accesso ai messaggi privati o alle carte di credito degli utenti, ha detto Facebook in conferenza stampa, aggiungendo di stare lavorando con l’Fbi. Comunque bruttissima storia. Info via Reuters

BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.
McCabe memos say Rosenstein considered secretly recording Trump

#BREAKING Trump’s lead lawyer is out. John Dowd Resigns in Special Counsel Probe. This comes days after Fox News conspiracy theorist Joe diGenova joined legal team. (Dershowitz would complete the TV team, no?) nyti.ms/2GebgG9 #Mueller #RussiaInvestigation #TrumpRussia
Seems clear where Trump's now headed. He hired diGenova to FoxNewsify his defense. It may work on those already awash in toxic Fox propaganda. But it won't work on Mueller. He'll have to be fired+/Trumpists will manufacture some crisis to end Russia probe. WHERE RU GOP CONGRESS??
UGH John Bolton was seen at the WH today. Is another Fox News blowhard propagandist about to get hired by Trump…to replace McMaster as National Security Adviser?? @ColinKahl is right. We're all gonna die.

What is GOP Congress waiting for? Are they complicit w/ Russia too??
