A stark reminder: with freedom comes responsibility.

Kolektiva.social, a Mastodon server, was compromised when the FBI seized an admin's electronics.

This privacy breach is a wake-up call for decentralized networks. Privacy protection must be paramount, especially when serving marginalized communities.

Developers, prioritize end-to-end encryption.

Users, demand transparency and protective measures.

We must be the guardians of our own privacy. #Mastodon

I don't know why you say especially "marginalized communities ". Like what protected group is worse off when the FBI seizes records? Certainly not gay or black people. Do you mean pedophiles? Do pedophiles need to be protected?
