The CEOs of Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon tried to shift the narrative about whether their companies are monopolies. But their statements don’t match reality. Read more here: https://protonmail.com/blog/tech-ceos-hearing/

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. For real privacy and security, you want software w/ a #FOSS license. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/07/29/tiktok-privacy-antitrust-china/

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.
