Vor einer Weile hab ich im Rahmen des EU-Projekts #DigitaleVorbilder ein Webinar zum Thema "Smarte Spielezeuge: Datendiebe im Kinderzimmer?" gemacht. Inzwischen ist das Graphic Recording dazu veröffentlicht - und ich liebs 🥰

Autonomi are launching their beta rewards program tonight (8am GMT) and have opened signups for the second wave of noderunners. Anyone will be able to run nodes, even non-technical folks.
The thing that upsets me about #Recall is that my data will be exposed by someone else, some business, using Windows. I'm not going to be using it, that's not my concern. It's that places that will use it will also have information about me that could potentially destroy my finances and identity. And is the gov't going to use it? It f'ing well better not. #privacy
Wir werden Themen vom letzten Mal konkretisieren und mal ein #Datenschutzcafe / #Cryptoparty planen und natürlich alles, was ihr noch einbringen möchtet!
I'm now paying 99 cents/month for iCloud+ so I can use Private Relay which (among other things) hides my IP address and only shares my country and timezone with websites I visit.
That seems to be the only way to stop The Guardian from sniffing my IP address; with Private Relay on it shows the weather for a city that's not mine. (I'm not even near Los Angeles.)
There's no real problem with The Guardian getting my IP address; it's just a super annoying invasion of privacy.
I just received a moderately interesting #scam call.
The phone rings.
It's a New York Number (I'm in NYC) with "New York NY" as its CID.
I answer and say hello, and hear a couple seconds of silence and then the blip sound indicating I've been transferred from the bulk dialer to a live person.
The person who says hello has a strong Indian accent and I can hear other people talking in the background. #infosec#privacy#telemarketing

Samsung is facing a labor strike for the first time ever. Apple is union busting. The FCC cancelled its affordable internet program. AI is all the rage with investors, but no one is using it.
Android trackers are FINALLY here! And, we should chat announcements at Computex!
So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...
I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...
I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!
MEP @echo_pbreyer for a long time is raising awareness of the pervasive #privacy-eroding nature of this regulation, which won't have its intended effect of protecting children.
The European privacy community
has repeatedly pointed at the GDPR‘s sometimes slow and insufficient enforcement. And I won’t argue with that. But I‘d like you to consider that the lack of GDPR literacy and privacy awareness is at least equally problematic. Even the best enforcement mechanisms are useless when people do not know their rights. We need to do more, not only to improve enforcement, but also to better educate people on privacy matters!

Join the Global Encryption Coalition's Steering Committee in calling on Ministers in the Council of the EU to reject all scanning proposals inconsistent with the principle of end-to-end encryption, including client-side scanning and upload moderation, as it will create serious security and privacy risks with global implications:
Ok, so I got the Facebook email today about the sneaky change in their TOS to steal more user data. This time for "AI".
That's it. I deleted my account. I wasn't using it anyway, but I kept it to keep Messenger working. I created a new Messenger account instead for the handful of cases where I still need it.
I had not yet accepted the changed TOS from last year, and had to "consent" to those outrageous terms too just to get to the delete button. Clearly illegal.
