fucking with police tech
Ok, so cops have this tool called Cellbrite they use to automate collecting data off of cell phones that they physically posses and are unlocked.
Turns out, Cellbrite has shite security, which means that you can drop an otherwise-inert file somewhere in your phone's system that, if scanned, will inject itself and allow arbitrary code execution on their Cellbrite device. I.E, you can make their hardware do literally anything you want, including compromising any data the device collects.
And in what they describe as unrelated news, Signal will start occasionally and randomly stashing some inert files in installations on established accounts.
Hello Fediverse, and and especially PeerTube's admins.
One year ago, I've found neo-nazi content on the instance I was using.
So I realized that right-wing groups have created PeerTube instances or are using unmoderated ones to spread their hate speech.
This content federates on other instances.
I list them here, making it easier to isolate them and their content to protect us.
The list : https://peertube_isolation.frama.io/list/

You can help by reporting instances to this account.
You can follow this account to get update about this list (theses will be under a content warning).
If you are a #PeerTubeAdmin you can use @peertube auto mute plugin with this list.
You can find the documentation of the auto mute plugin here: https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auto-mute
One thing I've seen in chatter online that I will also shout about is filming cops: fucking film cops. If you're a white person especially, and you see someone being detained, or even if you just see cops talking to someone (esp if they're unhoused) take your phone out and start filming, that shit is no joke.
When you hear it said the system works, remember they weren't going to charge him with murder until people fucked shit up in the streets, and it's easy to see without the credible threat of more destruction, the trial would have gone the other way. They're never going to give anything up without the threat of violence

This is one of the few posts I put publicly and I ask for a Boost!
If you are from EU or you know EU people, it could be interesting.
This is not an usual random web petition, this is an official ECI (European citizens initiative)
