PM Narendra Modi is likely to meet US President Joe Biden Friday on the margins of the G7 summit in southern Italy’s Puglia region. With Biden headed to Italy, White House said aboard Air Force One there’s an “encounter” likely between the 2 leaders as the president expects to see the Indian PM there, while reiterating it will continue to raise the foiled Sikh separatist murder plot at very senior levels with India.

Bona-fide Spyware

WhatsApp has more than 400 million users only in India. I am one of them and I cannot evade it due to very strong network effects. In several cases, I pushed a friend or an acquaintance to use a messaging tool other than WhatsApp. And I was the only user for that person who eventually uninstalled that messaging tool before long.

We know WhatsApp provides end-to-end encryption but collects metadata which matters as, once again, stated here [www.techradar.com].

WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption to protect your communications. At the same time, though, it regularly collects some seemingly less important details attached to your messaging activities—metadata.

This information includes IP addresses, phone numbers, who you have spoken with, and when, among others. It may not look so important, but even such small digital traces can act as identifiers. For instance, it was exactly a piece of metadata—a Proton Mail recovery email—that led to the arrest of a Catalan activist.

As for WhatsApp's Privacy Policy, the app records a wealth of usage logs including "the time, frequency, and duration of your activities and interactions." Other identifiable data such as your network details, the browser you use, ISP, and other identifiers linked to other Meta products (like Instagram and Facebook) associated with the same device or account are also collected.

The issue is that surveillance techniques are getting always more sophisticated. WhatsApp’s internal security team identified many instances of so-called correlation attacks where a smarter analysis of encrypted data—linked to its very much visible metadata counterpart—can evade the app's privacy protections.

What's really is scary that we're at a point were we made #SPYWARE socially acceptable simply because the authors are from "well-respected organizations" rather than "evil hacker groups".

Lost in the whirlwind of color! This abstract masterpiece completely mesmerized me.

The way the vibrant hues dance and intertwine, the bold strokes suggesting a hidden language, it's like stepping into a world of pure emotion and energy.
