Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he "cannot defend what is alleged" in the most recent indictment against former President Donald Trump, a seemingly tougher stance than he had previously taken regarding the Justice Department's decision to charge his former running mate.

The truth about WhatsApp’s and Apple’s privacy promises

TL/DR:

WhatsApp

  • Yes, the content of your conversations is fully encrypted
  • Meta (aka Facebook) still has access to the metadata: who you chat with, how long you chat, your phone's battery level, stuff like that
  • You could use Signal to have even better privacy, but your contacts might not use Signal

Apple

  • Focusing on health information specifically (their recent marketing campaign), it's true that Apple end-to-end encrypts your health data
  • However, other apps may not
  • Third party apps can request (from you) access to your health data
  • Be skeptical of them

Yet Another Reddit Refugee

I reside in rural Kansas, about an hour from Kansas City. Mostly because it's cheap and I like the slow pace of things. For work I run a small IT consulting company -- mostly web, email etc for small businesses.

I used to play WoW, but it's been kind of "over" for a while and I haven't gotten into any games since.
