A BlueSky thread by GrapheneOS on Skyview
We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps. uattest.net

We’ve even built secret integrations that hook deeply into web apps (can only do at browser layer given no public APIs).This means we can bring info into the context window a human can’t see & apps can't get with screenshots.Here’s example of YouTube integration in action: pic.twitter.com/VqAD4bxk0A— Josh Miller (@joshm) May 14, 2025

Bill C-22’s Groundhog Day: Why the Government’s Dismissal of Signal, Apple and the U.S. Congress Concerns Runs Back the Disastrous Online News Act Playbook - Michael Geist
Secure messaging service Signal yesterday became the latest company to warn that Bill C-22, the lawful access bill, could force it to leave the Canadian market rather than comply with provisions it says would compromise its end-to-end encryption and create new cybersecurity risks. Signal vice-president Udbhav Tiwari told the Globe and Mail that the company “would rather pull out of the country than be compelled to compromise on the privacy promises we have made to our users.” The comments are part of a steady stream of similar warnings from Apple, Meta, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Cybersecurity Advisors Network, and the chairs of the U.S. House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees. Despite growing concern, the government’s response has been to launch a misleading social media campaign and repeatedly insist that the experts and companies are mistaken.

It's great that a class of tool that by its very design is an unfixable security issue is forced into everything: «This works often enough that Måløy reported this to Microsoft as a security hole in March. He gave them a 90-day reporting window, Microsoft extended that twice to a total of 144 days, and they still didn’t have a solid fix. So Måløy posted about the hole on July 28th.» Copilot prompt injection goes viral in your documents https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/08/03/copilot-prompt-injection-goes-viral-in-your-documents/
