Still using Zoom? Zoom wonât encrypt free calls because it wants to comply with law enforcement If youâre a free Zoom user, and waiting for the company to roll out end-to-end encryption for better protection of your calls, youâre out of luck. Free calls wonât be encrypted, and law enforcement will be able to access your information in case of âmisuseâ of the platform. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan today said that the video conferencing appâs upcoming end-to-end encryption feature will be available to only paid users. After announcing the companyâs financial results for Q1 2020, Yuan said the firm wants to keep this feature away from free users to work with law enforcement in case of the appâs misuse: "Free users, for sure, we donât want to give that [end-to-end encryption]. Because we also want to work it together with FBI and local law enforcement, in case some people use Zoom for bad purpose." In the past, platforms with end-to-end encryption, such as WhatsApp, have faced heavy scrutiny in many countries because they were unable to trace the origins of problematic and misleading messages. Zoom likey wants to avoid being in such a position, and wants to comply with local laws to keep operating across the globe. Alex Stamos, working as a security consultant with Zoom, said it wants to catch repeat offenders for hate speech or child exploitative content by not offering end-to-end encryption t0 free users. In March, The Intercept published a report stating that the company doesnât use end-to-end encryption, despite claiming that on its website and security white paper. Later, Zoom apologized and issued a clarification to specify it didnât provide the feature at that time. Last month, the company acquired Keybase.io, an encryption-based identity service, to build its end-to-end encryption offering. Yuan said today that the company got a lot of feedback from users on encryption, and itâs working out on executing it. However, he didnât specify a release date for the feature. According to the Q1 2020 results, the company grew 169% year-on-year in terms of revenue. Zoom has more than 300 million daily participants attending meetings through the platform.
Galaxy Note 20 Plus leaks! renders suggest a slightly bigger screen and much bigger camera bump Last yearâs Galaxy Note 10 Plus was truly a thing of beauty, with an amazing screen and superlative industrial design. And, judging by some high-quality (and completely unofficial) renders of the Galaxy Note 20 Plus, it looks like Samsung wonât be changing too much in 2020. The only major difference is a new, bulkier camera module on the rear of the device. These renders come from noted leaker @OnLeaks in collaboration with phone-case maker Pigtou. As with all renders based on leaked CAD drawings, they should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the design they suggest for the Note 20 Plus seems reasonable enough. GRID VIEW 3 of 3 These renders are based on leaked CAD drawings. The most obvious feature is the big, nearly edge-to-edge display, with curved bezels, sloping sides, and a small, central hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera thatâs near identical to the 2019 design. The top and bottom edge also look the same as that of the Note 10 Plus, with speaker grille, charging port, and space for the signature S Pen stylus. In terms of size, the Note 20 Plus will reportedly be slightly bigger than the 10 Plus, with a 6.9-inch display instead of last yearâs 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, and slightly longer but thinner dimensions, with the same overall width (165mm long, 77.2mm wide, and 7.6mm thick, according to leaks). The most noticeable change, though, is the camera module on the rear of the device, which is much bigger than that of the 2019 Note Plus, according to the renders. In the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus this module was a pretty slim oval containing three lenses, while the flash module was positioned to one side, flush with the case (in the 10 Plus there are two additional divots that supply the phoneâs depth-sensing capabilities). But the Note 20 renders show a larger, more rectangular module that apparently integrates all these components â lenses and assorted gubbins â into a single raised unit. This looks extremely similar to the camera system on this yearâs Galaxy S20 Ultra, which was very much designed to show off Samsungâs photography abilities. The S20 Ultraâs module contained five lenses sporting up to 108 megapixels, and a 4x optical zoom that offered solid results up to a 10x zoom with the help of software. Thereâs a lot to say about that camera system, but check out our full review from February for more information. If the Note 20 and 20 Plus are anything like previous iterations in the series, theyâll contain the best, biggest, and brightest of Samsungâs smartphone specs. So itâs not unreasonable to expect some high-end camera hardware. Weâve not seen any leaked specs for the 2020 Notes, though, so will have to see what surfaces in the months to come. Reports suggest that Samsung will be launching the Note 20 in August, though this will likely be an online-only event as a reaction to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. youtu.be/pS8bErtjIDQ
Just stop using FB's WhatsApp, if you care about privacy Signal announces new face-blurring tool for Android and iOS Encrypted messaging app Signal has announced a new face-blurring tool that will be incorporated into the latest Android and iOS versions of the software. Users sharing pictures through the app will be able to quickly blur faces, adding another layer of privacy to pictures, though not necessarily hiding the subjectâs identity completely. In a blog post announcing the update, Signal co-founder Moxie Marlinspike linked the update to the worldwide protests against racism and police violence sparked by the killing of George Floyd by law enforcement. These protests have led to record downloads for Signal, which uses end-to-end encryption to make messages harder to intercept. âWeâve also been working to figure out additional ways we can support everyone in the street right now,â writes Marlinspike. âOne immediate thing seems clear: 2020 is a pretty good year to cover your face.â When you take a picture through Signal and select the Blur option in the toolbar, the app will automatically detect any faces it spots in your image. If it misses any, users can simply blur out faces by hand, or blur any other features they want to hide. All processing is done on-device, meaning uncensored images never leave the userâs phone. Although blurring faces in photographs certainly makes pictures more private, itâs by no means a foolproof way of anonymizing images and hiding someoneâs identity. Some blurring and pixellation methods can be reversed with the right tools, for example. And anyone seeking to identify someone in a picture can work from other information, such as clothing and tattoos, which can be compared with other, un-blurred images. Even if attendees at a protest, for example, hide the identity of fellow protestors, that doesnât mean other groups and individuals will do the same. Surveillance cameras, police body cameras, and press photographers are all capturing images. Ultimately, the best way to obscure your identity is to take matters into your own hands and wear a mask.
A group for the nerds.
