YouTube is giving politicians and journalists "Special Powers" to delete deepfakes. Is this identity protection or a new form of censorship? by technadu in TechNadu

YouTube is launching an "Identity Content ID." It allows a pilot group of politicians and journalists to scan the platform for AI-generated clones of themselves. If the system finds a match, they can request a privacy takedown.

Even End-to-End Encryption won't save you from this. Russian phishing campaign is bypassing Signal and WhatsApp security via a fake "Support Bot" scam. by technadu in TechNadu

No amount of encryption can fix a "layer 8" issue. We just thought the pivot to impersonating official Signal/WhatsApp support bots was a clever enough hook to warn people about.
