The Myth of “Deleted” Data

Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed what many of us in the #privacy community have long feared: ChatGPT conversations, even those marked as “temporary” or “deleted,” are being #preserved #indefinitely due to a court order tied to a copyright lawsuit.

#Purism believes that the solution starts with three core principles:
- True Data Sovereignty
- Transparent Retention Policies
- Legal Firewalls for Sensitive Data

Purism · AI and Data Privacy Under Scrutiny – PurismPurism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.

When regulators say #Microsoft’s AI ecosystem could undermine competition and transparency, they’re voicing what many in the #opensource community have warned for years: proprietary platforms consolidate power by obscuring their internal operations, locking users into dependency, and integrating #surveillance through seamless updates masked as “productivity enhancements.”

@HarmBotjes @MrRoubos Ik gebruik de #Librem5 #Linux telefoon, met Signal Desktop:

puri.sm/products/librem-5/

Dat is in essentie inderdaad een klein computertje waar ik de volledige controle over heb en waar ik ook mee kan bellen. Het besturingssysteem #PureOS kun je op telefoons, tablets, laptops, desktops en servers gebruiken (het is gebaseerd op #Debian).

@paulk Thanks. Ik gebruik de #Librem5 nog steeds als mijn dagelijkse telefoon. Waarschijnlijk komt er over niet al te lange tijd weer een volledige upgrade van het besturingssysteem (#PureOS). Misschien is het tijd om er weer eens een actueel blogje over te schrijven.

Google to Pay Texas $1.4 Billion to End Privacy Cases

Users who rely on Google’s Android ecosystem—phones, tablets, search engines, browsers—are exposed to monitoring, tracking, and data harvesting by design, not by accident.

Unlike Google and Android-based platforms, Purism’s #Librem5 smartphone and #PureOS operating system are built for privacy, security, and user freedom.

@Jay There are a lot of apps, but maybe not the apps you would like to use.

You can get apps from the #PureOS store here:

software.pureos.net/categories

Or from #Flathub here:

flathub.org/apps/collection/mo

The price of $799 (ex VAT etc.) seems very fair to me for a phone from a manufacturer that does not sell any data of you, so that has to earn the income fully on selling hardware.

Did you ever have a look at the excellent #documentation of #Purism products?

One of the products of Purism is the #Librem5. The Librem 5 is a #Linux phone that runs the #PureOS operating system.

This phone is built up from the bottom to provide #privacy and software #freedom. No #surveillance by the manufacturer, free and #opensource (#FOSS) is their standard.

I use a Librem 5 as my daily phone.

Note also the various GNU-like #MobileLinux variants -- see @linmob and things like @phosh #pureos #mobian #postmarketos

It would be great if Signal could become more friendly to those and not assume that everyone must use Andriod or iOS. Andriod or iOS are things of the past, we need to move away from those towards alternatives that put the user's freedom and privacy front and center.

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/

This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

@inderix 4G works well, but I have issues with SMS when I use 4G.

PureOS on the #Librem5 has for me the best user experience, because I am fully in control, and it is just a Linux device. I'm very used to the power that Linux gives their users.

But #PureOS is not as smooth as Android or IOS. Many things take some more effort. I accept some inconvenience to really own and control my device. The great thing is that PureOS gets better and better.

@inderix

I want to support #Purism as a social purpose corporation by buying their #phone. Purism earns money on selling hardware. Although you can also take a totally optional subscription to support the development of the #PureOS operating system.

With phones from Android companies that run PmOS, you are less supporting the #MobileLinux eco system imo.

Purism initiated e.g. #phosh.

I'm not really using convergence, as I have other computers.

@inderix I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone for over three years.

The Librem 5 is not bloated with proprietary software.

Also note, that #Purism only at the selling time earns on you. They do not build profiles of their customers to sell.

The operating system, #PureOS, for the Librem 5 is maintained, and an upgrade is in the works.

See here how I started using the Librem 5 as an experiment:

Yes, there is some inconvenience, but I accept that for my #freedom.
