TikTok offers 3rd parties to audit their code to quiet #privacy concerns. Auditability, not just of TikTok w/ hand-picked regulators/experts, is critical for software we rely on.

We are thankful today for the 13th anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio #SummorumPontificum - affirming that the traditional rites of the Church were never abrogated, ever available for sanctification of the faithful.

In honor of the @purism #Librem14 launch I wrote a personal post to share my perspective as someone who backed the original Librem 13 crowdfunding campaign and still use it daily: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-14-thoughts-from-a-librem-13-early-adopter/

At a moment when more Americans are speaking up about reforming police, a Senate panel is wrongly pushing forward with a proposal to let law enforcement control our online lives. Stop EARN IT. https://act.eff.org/action/stop-the-earn-it-bill-before-it-breaks-encryption
