Murena is growing, and we want you to be a part of it! We're considering a fundraising campaign where anyone can become a co-owner of Murena through investments big and small.

Today is #NewstodonFriday, a day to feature work from newsrooms that have an active presence in the #Fediverse. If you like what you see in the thread below, follow the profiles and boost their stories. If you're a journo or newsroom that we don't know about (or there's someone that should be on our radar), please comment below.
What if any Fediverse instance's make this DRM that Facebook has, with posts being locked for users not signed in. This can help with those who are scared of AI “taking over” because let's be real, AI just grabs the information you post online. If we do this, would AI “die”?
I don't personally care so to speak, as AI will not care, or sorry, these companies developing the AI LLM's will counter new strategies to obtain PII from websites.
A reminder to Swifties and non-Swifties alike to regularly review your phone's location sharing settings.
Remember: the deepest privacy threat from mobile phones is the way that they announce your whereabouts all day (and all night) long.
Stalking your ex using phone location services isn’t cool. Neither is the way that governments and companies use your phone's data to determine where you've been. Learn more about protecting your privacy, and how EFF helps:
> La CJUE renverse son raisonnement : elle estime désormais que la conservation des adresses IP n’est, par défaut, plus une atteinte grave aux libertés fondamentales, et que dans certains cas seulement cet accès porte une ingérence grave qu’il faut entourer de garanties.
Dit autrement :
"Tous présumés coupables jusqu'à preuve du contraire."
We are posting here the messages from organizations, institutions, NGOs, etc. that have opened a channel on Mastodon and left #X/Twitter. Many of their arguments cite the same points as mentioned in our open letter calling the universities to become active on Mastodon and fediverse servers.
The messages represent a broad consensus among Internet users who want to bring the choice of social media in line with their mission statements. The first of these is the data protection foundation @DS_Stiftung.
It writes about itself: „Acting independently in the field of #DataPrivacy, Stiftung Datenschutz links politics and the public, academics and business. It complements existing organizations and initiatives while liaising closely with German data protection authorities on state and federal levels.“ https://stiftungdatenschutz.org/english
At the end of September, she drew the consequences and broke away from X/ #Twitter https://twitter.com/DS_Stiftung/status/1704059550335119522
At the skin doctor, first an assistant asks some questions and fills them into the computer, then says "wait for the doctor" and leaves me alone with the unlocked system. 5min, would have been enough to lookup data of other people.
I hate being right! I called this one two years ago. There are open source period/ovulation that do not connect to a server. Find them on F-droid. If it wants you to log in to something that is a problem!
Chez BNP/HelloBank, c'est donc une boîte de marketing qui envoie le tout-nouveau-tout-frais numéro de compte client par email (au TLS tout pété au passage).
Ils l'ont avant moi. C'est plus pratique pour le profilage me direz-vous...
Do me a favor folks: would you spread this around? I'd love for #Wisconsin residents to see it for sure.
If you want to email Interstate Parking yourself and ask if they have privacy policies for their license plate recognition system, you can do so at info@interstateparking.com
Throwing some tags on here: seriously, folks, this company is absolutely utterly uninterested in user privacy and security. They have had breaches in the past. Calling all #MilwaukeeBrewers fans, can you please ask the #Brewers if they have confidence that #InterstateParking will protect user data? (see above post for details)
Welfare surveillance powers are being introduced by the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.
The UK government will be able to access the financial data of ANY benefit claimant. This data could be misinterpreted and sanctions imposed incorrectly.
We've signed this joint letter from UK civil society organisations for the removal of these powers from the Bill.
It's SO strange to me how people are so adament that they don't want their data being sold/abused.
Yet, we have a literal data harvester in front of our own eyes with NewsMast out in the open using Fedi posts for their "news app" and nobody is blinking an eye...🤦♂️
@BeAware – All data that is publicly available on a website will be scraped for commercial use, violating intellectual proporty rights and data privacy rights. Such is the nature of today's Web, and the Fediverse is a part of it. #DataPrivacy#Fediverse#Scraping#CommercialUse
