Yet another privacy respecting service shuttered.

I fear for the future. We already have a generation that was raised under surveillance and who lash out at anyone who seeks this type of privacy, and it’s only going to get worse. Surveillance is becoming more and more normalized.

My greatest fear is that Firefox itself could one day shut down.

Seriously think I’d be better off as a hermit somewhere in remote rural Mexico. Anyone wanna join me? Just send me your name, address, a non-VOIP phone number, a full set of fingerprints, and retinal scans, and you’re in. /s

So … do you have a way to stop screenshots from saving metadata to my screenshots or not? I’ve indicated my wishes. If you don’t want to help, then please ignore the post.

Yeah, unfortunately I don’t believe I can flash a custom rom onto a Samsung. Ugh.

Thanks for responding!

I knew I’d get a comment like this eventually. There’s no rational reason it should be adding this data at all, and there should be a way to disable this behavior. The camera I use doesn’t add this data when I take a photo, and there’s no reason taking a screenshot should do so.

The software version doesn’t just say “Android 14” either. It looks very specific.

No matter how you look at it, this is not an acceptable way for a device to behave, with no way to change it in settings.

Mine’s a Samsung S21FE so I don’t think I can use that OS

Do you have a Samsung phone? I’m starting to think it might be yet another Samsung thing.

Being a whistle-blower must be depressing, always killing themselves like this. /s
