Wild to see Clemson dropped out with Bama at 10 but Alabama will surge again, of course.

Regardless, go Ducks.

“Slap in the face” is a bit dramatic when this doesn’t impact the truly private version of this software, the version you host on a system you control.

I’m also not sure what end-to-end encryption has to do with this since preventing the sign up of an abusive user essentially addresses the issue. It’s probably not something they’d wanna do but I’d wager they were getting some subpoenas and/or warrants that they couldn’t provide much information for and LEOs were ratcheting up pressure. Unfortunately, the legal side of tech is more than “ha ha can’t do that, officer”.

Short answer is that a lot of privacy-focused tools get abused like hell and put these companies in an untenable position. It sounds like Jitsi had something fairly bad happening that would’ve put them in a regulatory pinch.

Regardless of any political feelings (in which case it’d still be fuck this guy), he is such a habitual liar and has been caught multiple times doctoring footage, setting up conflicts as a conspirator with right wing agitators, doxxing totally unrelated people and even faking an accent. Insane guy who was cash grabbing off right wing fear mongering.

This is actually a surprisingly good poem for a jokester at a wedding.
