I'd love to see data on what verified boot actually stops. The ideal malware implants itself at the lowest level possible. Is there good public data on these kinds of exploits on etc? Does standard spyware do that? Writing to /system requires a root exploit, lots of malware never gets root. How often there are vulns in itself. Here's a real world full of verified boot:

Does anyone know how to query the system for information about Trichrome Libraries chromium.googlesource.com/chro? They seem to be installed as APKs, but the regular way of querying for app metadata does not work. For example, is there a separate concept of "Version Code" for Trichrome libraries?

Anyone know what ULR is?

"Suppose a user has disabled permissions to, say, Google Maps for Mobile (GMM). With client-side location, GMM will not get location, as the user intended However, they can still get a place card (e.g. Riddler) via ULR-->████-->GMM server--> GMM client. (URL has GmsCore's location permissions, not GMM's). This seems like a bypass to Android's permissions model."

If anyone is looking for a / project to hack around with, jtorctl now builds with (from gradle.org or ), , and with sketches of Ant. The idea is that if all the build tools make the same JAR, no need to trust the build tool.

New AI law proposal agrees with the risks and harms of biometric mass surveillance but *fails* to properly ban it.

Companies and authorities aren't prohibited from these practices and the law enforcement ban has way too many exceptions. 🤦

Weak privacy bills are being pushed by tech companies across the country, and in some cases have even become law. "Setting up these weak foundations is really damaging and really puts us in a worse direction on privacy in the U.S.," says EFF's @htsuka themarkup.org/privacy/2021/04/

Mexico’s Senate has passed a law mandating registration for cell phone users that links SIM cards to biometric data. This is an unnecessary and disproportionate measure as Mexican NGO @R3Dmx has shown - and it poses major risks of abuse and leaks. r3d.mx/wp-content/uploads/Fich

Copyright should not be a fast-track to getting speech removed that you do not like. The law is meant to encourage creativity by giving artists a limited period of exclusive rights to their creations. It is not a loophole to be exploited by authorities. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/02/cops

: the wonderful, powerful idea that betrayed us. A discussion of switchblades as kitchen tools, hammering in the bathroom, and measuring effectiveness rather than "engagement".
