@SomeAnoTooter @blueluma @Xtreix The way we're handling it is working fine. /e/ and Murena are enemies of privacy as they've made clear by repeatedly claiming serious privacy protections are only for pedophiles, criminals and spies. This isn't the first time they're saying it.
They're promoting an approach where they avoid some Google apps/services while adding a bunch of Google services to the OS and use DNS filtering to block low hanging fruit but not the most privacy invasive behavior.

@SomeAnoTooter @blueluma @Xtreix DNS filtering is not a serious approach to privacy. It does not stop apps sending whatever they want to whoever they want. In practice, it does not stop nearly any of the most privacy invasive behavior because it's done via the same domains as the useful functionality and they aren't blocking that. It's trivial for apps to bypass and many are doing it by having fallback to hard-wired IPs or using their own DNS resolution from the beginning to entirely bypass it.

@SomeAnoTooter @blueluma @Xtreix Murena and /e/ are undermining privacy as a whole by repeatedly claiming in multiple formats that serious privacy and security protections as only being for pedophiles, criminals and spies. Since they're presenting themselves as advocates for privacy selling privacy products, the fact that they're pushing these talking points makes it far more damaging. It's going to contribute to the ongoing crackdown on privacy and encryption in France. They're not allies.
