The Public Order Bill is yet another part of the government’s anti-democratic mission. Illiberal databases sit at the core of policing over protest, now with emboldened surveillance and search powers.

It‘s a preemptive kettling of protest and thought.

@Mastodon This is great news for those seeking to replicate the experience of #BlackTwitter here, and to better position the #Fediverse to offer a decent experience to non-techies that has NO #surveillance #surveillancecapitalism and no #Ads. As long as it can be done in a way that protects this decentralized system from #VCTakeover, spam and disinfo.

Open Call for #Fediverse #Moderation Panel

Some of you know I have been working on non-profit funding to create an organisation ("IFTAS") to support moderators and admins. This is a non-profit entity that employs moderators and advisors to improve the tools and policies we have access to, and to present a strong voice to platform developers describing the tools and features needed to conduct the work.

Full announcement: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16MmqeKSDwyzV9v7GP0D68rEIBmG4FSiimuzI4lEdP_k/edit?usp=sharing

miklo,

@jaz And did you ask people first if they want to invite #gafam (here: via #googleDoc ) to this panel ?
Are there really no #foss / free from #corpo #surveillance tools ( #nextcloud, #cryptpad, etc.) to need google ?

One set of characters, the translator explained, suggested each visitor was automatically sorted into categories: age, sex, wearing glasses, smiling. When Honovich pointed at the fifth category and asked, “What’s this?” the translator replied, “minority.” 」

New publication with @fa_burkhardt in SAIS Review of International Affairs in which we analyse how sanctions-induced infrastructural disruptions are reshaping Russia's repressive capacities since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The article is part of the special issue on digital authoritarianism.

Marielle_W,

In the article, we argue that authoritarian states' dependence on foreign digital technologies and services can shape and constrain their capacity to control, surveil, and repress domestically.

To illustrate our argument, we examine how Russia's war against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia in response have influenced its domestic repressive capacities.

"“Smart streetlights” — a network of pole-mounted artificial intelligence-powered cameras and microphones — are not just a tool. They do not even provide light. They comprise an infrastructure that, once in place, makes pervasive and dystopian surveillance just a system upgrade away."

Pretty good security advice for activists on the latest Renegade Cut video. Some of it may feel “paranoid” to the average person but it does make sense to take these steps as an activist who runs a high risk of clashing with law enforcement.

https://youtu.be/TWDUzSToXO0

Some of it isn’t realistically possible in some countries, e.g. you can’t get a SIM card from a store without formal identification. A lot of these precautions are also pretty expensive, although some have DIY alternatives.

I’d add one thing he doesn’t mention: don’t carry your burner phone and your everyday phone together while both are active. It’s easy to correlate the two devices when they share enough of a movement profile. Turn your burner phone off (fully disconnected like described in the video) far enough away from your home and workplace so it’s not correlated to where you live.

Since some people have asked me, here's a quick thread on initial experience comparison between Bluesky and the fediverse. It's important to note that this comparison is somewhat absurd by default because Bluesky is still tiny & unproven, but there's interest so I'm happy to share what I've observed. Also, I don't get into protocol differences because honestly who cares. So:

Und auch deshalb ist die Digitalisierung, die früher oder später unweigerlich auf eine Post-Privacy-Gesellschaft herausläuft, in erster Linie eine Dystopie:

"As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like Google and Facebook are helping. "

Google und Facebook/Meta geben Nutzer:innendaten an die US-amerikanische Polizei weiter, damit diese Menschen verfolgen kann, die Informationen zu Abtreibungen suchen.

Und das ist nur ein Beispiel. Morgen kann schon illegal sein, was heute noch legal ist und etwaige Datenschutzgesetze können auch in Europa gelockert werden, während die Überwachungsinfrastruktur, Digitalzwänge/Abhängigkeiten und der Zugriff auf Gesundheitsdaten immer invasiver werden.

Google ist sooooo selbstlos, dass es seine überwachungsdystopische Vision sogar 'Selfish' nennt.

Das 40,00€ teurer gewordene Nachfolgeticket zum 9-Euro-Ticket soll Daten melken. Zwar solle das Ticket übergangsweise nicht nur für Smartphones erhältlich sein sondern auch auf Chip-Karten und kurzzeitig auf Papier mit QR-Code, aber wichtig scheint es den Regierenden vor allem anderen, dass mit dem 49€-Ticket Echtzeit-Verkehrsdaten erhoben werden können.

Positiv klingt zunächst: "Es werde nicht gespeichert, wer von A nach B fährt, sondern nur, wie stark die Verkehrsmittel ausgelastet sind. Für die Fahrgäste könnte das ein Nutzen sein, weil die Verkehrsunternehmen so für ausreichend Kapazitäten sorgen könnten."

Allerdings: Das Ticket wird wohl nur als Abo personalisiert erworben werden können, so dass darüber anfallende Personendaten zukünftig schnell integriert werden könnten. Mit Hinblick auf den aktuellen massiven Ausbau des Überwachungsstaats und der Kontrollgesellschaft in Deutschland und der EU (digitale Personenkennziffer/RegMod, Chatkontrolle, Identifizierungspflicht, Biometrie, eIDAS uvm) ist es doch auch gar nicht die Frage ob, sondern nur wann und mit welchem Vorwand (Anschläge, Pandemie, Jugendschutz, Wahlkampf) personalisierte Datenerfassung und Polizeizugriffe kommen werden, sobald die digitale Kontrollinfrastruktur erst einmal errichtet wurde.

#Clearview #AI used nearly 1m times by US police

"Facial recognition firm Clearview has run nearly a million searches for US police, its founder has told the BBC.
Clearview's system allows a law enforcement customer to upload a photo of a face and find matches in a database of billions of images it has collected.
It then provides links to where matching images appear online. It is considered one of the most powerful and accurate facial recognition companies in the world."

Overview of police investigations tied to a combative demo against mega-basins - Zine (EN/FR)

"Two people alleged to have damaged a water reservoir in Charente-Maritime[2] are on trial this Thursday in La Rochelle. Phone bills, tailing and geolocation... To identify them, the investigators have deployed methods that are out of the ordinary.
Suspects geolocated in real time, their tax, social security or health insurance statements dissected, their telephone bills analyzed in minute detail, their social circle identified; a woman followed and photographed by police even though her cell phone did not locate her at the scene of the crime (she will be exonerated)... This array of methods was deployed by the police in order to find the people suspected of having damaged an agricultural basin in November 2021, in Cram-Chaban (Charente-Maritime). Even though this water reservoir, which was supposed to be used for irrigation, could not be used and was ultimately judged to be illegal."

Wir ahnten es und es dauerte leider gar nicht lange... Hier ist es also: Das neueste rechtspopulistische Vorhaben von Vorratsdaten- und ihrer Ampel-Regierung aus , und .

Nun wollen sie also der die „präventive“ von Handys und die Ermittlung von Standorten ermöglichen sowie Drohneneinsätze an Bahnhöfen, Grenzen und Flughäfen beschließen. Und natürlich noch mehr . Wie es sich für jeden ordentlichen Überwachungs- und nun mal gehört.

Der GdP geht das ganze – wie immer – nicht weit genug. Die will auch noch Onlinedurchsuchungen und Verschlüsselungsverbote. Vermutlich haben die einfach noch nichts von der EU-Chatkontrolle mitbekommen...

Das ganze erinnert uns an das „Loi sécurité globale“ in Frankreich. Dort gab es allerdings heftige Proteste dagegen. Bei den letzten Polizeibefugniserweiterungen/PAGs in Deutschland rafftem sich hingegen kaum mehr Linke auf und dann staunten alle mit großen Augen über die für *innen

Britisches Parlament verschärft #Demonstrationsrecht
Reaktion auf #Klimaproteste

"Polizeibefugnisse werden in Zukunft ausgeweitet. Das Gesetz sieht vor, dass Polizisten in ausgewiesenen Gebieten künftig ohne Verdacht Menschen anhalten und durchsuchen dürfen. So sollen sie gegebenenfalls Gegenstände sicherstellen, die für "protestbezogene" Vergehen genutzt werden können. Protestformen wie Festkleben und Anketten, die von der Regierung als "störende und gefährliche sogenannte Guerilla-Taktiken" kritisiert werden, stehen künftig unter Strafe."
