„Not Easy, Not Unreasonable, Not Censorship: The Decision To Ban Trump From Twitter – When I started writing this post, it was about Facebook’s decision to suspend Trump’s account indefinitely, and at least until Joe Biden is inaugurated in a couple weeks. I had lots to say on that… and then Friday afternoon, Twitter decided to ban Trump’s Twitter account permanently. This is a bigger deal, not just because it’s permanent, rather than indefinite, but because so much of Trump’s identity over the last four years (and before that) is tied up in his Twitter account and followers. … The regular rules could never apply to Trump because Trump is not a regular person. And, no, not even comparisons to foreign leaders are apt, because as silly as American exceptionalism is, the United States is still different than nearly every other country in the world. And, it’s not just the position he’s in (for the next few days anyway), but also Trump’s willingness to use his account to make pronouncements unlike pretty much any other world leader (or at least, world leader of consequence). – Trump is, perhaps, the perfect example of why demanding clear rules on social media and how they moderate is stupid. … But here’s the more important point – especially directed at the people who will falsely claim that this is somehow censorship: President Trump is not being censored. He is not being limited. At any moment of any day (certainly for the next two weeks, and likely beyond) he can walk out of his office and have every major TV news channel (and every internet streaming platform) broadcast whatever he wants to say, and people will see it.“

„Signal Messenger: Ansturm neuer Nutzer überlastet Signals Anmeldesystem – Die neuen WhatsApp-Bedingungen veranlassen viele User zu einem Wechsel zu Signal. Kurzfristig war sogar dessen Verifizierungs-System überlastet. – Der verschlüsselnde Messenger Signal bekommt gerade viele neue User. Anlass ist, dass WhatsApp seine Nutzer dazu zwingt, das Teilen zusätzlicher Daten mit Facebook zu genehmigen.
