Hey #nostr I was thinking: is anyone developing an Android app (and related NIP) for Nostr key management, similar to #Amber but, instead of relays, using local/near field connections? Like, NFC, USB/serial, Bluetooth? So it wouldn't require network connection between signing device and Nostr client?

But don’t relax. What this means is the pretty soon only soldiers, police forces, and lawmakers will have the right to privacy. Everyone else will be spied on relentlessly. These are the change that are about to be made to how our amazing modern society works.

#Android Gets Fake Call Detection That Uses #RCS

#Phone by #Google wants to combat the "growing threat of #impersonation #scams " and protect Android users against "sophisticated, AI-powered #deepfake attacks" with fake call detection. [...] Fake call detection requires that both parties are on Android and use the Phone by Google app, while #GoogleMessages and #GoogleContacts also have to be installed. When a contact calls, their phone "sends a silent confirmation signal in real time to your device to verify the call is legitimate and truly coming from the contact's device." This digital handshake uses end-to-end #encrypted RCS (Rich Communication Services).

Amazon-owned #Ring should pay Americans for scanning their faces, lawsuit says

A lawsuit against #Amazon is seeking financial damages for millions of Americans whose faces may have been recorded by Ring #cameras since the #FamiliarFaces feature was rolled out late last year.

Plaintiff Charles Sigwalt yesterday filed a class action suit that aims to represent all people in the US "who had their facial recognition data collected, retained, and otherwise used by the Familiar Faces feature created and implemented by Defendant."

I have a thinking lately, since govt will force every social medias to do verification with phone numbers, which linked to national identity card.

Is there a way to bypass this, OR perhaps having a celluar phone number that can communicate and do internet, that are not tied to any major ISP?

Just asking
