Facebook Won't Let US, UK, Australia Get Toe in Backdoor
Facebook has rejected a request from the U.S., the UK and Australia for
a "backdoor" in its encrypted messenger apps to help law enforcement
agencies combat crime and terrorism. "Cybersecurity experts have
repeatedly proven that when you weaken any part of an encrypted system,
you weaken it for everyone, everywhere," wrote WhatsApp head Will
Cathcart and Facebook Messenger head Stan Chudnovsky.

Should Discord Be in Your Incident Response Toolbox?
Cybersecurity incident response teams have choices when it comes to
communication tools: Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and numerous others.
Some require a subscription or commercial license -- others are free.
Some are niche tools specifically designed for incident response. Some
are generic business communication tools that IR teams have adapted for
use during a cybersecurity incident.

Devs: Open Source Is Growing Despite Challenges
Optimism about the future of open source is high among software
developers worldwide. However, a growing number of devs worry that a
lack of funding threatens its sustainability. That is a key takeaway
from DigitalOcean's second annual open source survey. The online survey
provides a snapshot of the state of open source, as well as a gauge of
the inclusivity and friendliness of contributors.
