I'm looking for folks discussing the overall quality of open source software, either from the product, privacy, or design perspective. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance #ux#uxdesign#privacy#ProductManagement#foss#OpenSource
Gallery for Android is a light-weight Media Gallery app for Android made with Jetpack Compose. It supports albums, favorites and more. It also features an integrated video player.
Friends. This is an extremely important message for women (or anyone) who may be a victim of domestic abuse in the UK.
They are conducting a country-wide mobile alert to test an emergency system. People with hidden phones must disable alerts or turn their phone off during this time.
This week we hit the streets in London to send a message to the UK government: Don’t Scan Me! We’re calling on lawmakers to support Lord Clement-Jones’ amendment to the #OnlineSafetyBill that would remove private messaging platforms from the surveillance measures.
Nasz redakcyjny kolega @kuba był gościem podcastu Panoptykon 4.0 (@panoptykon)
W rozmowie z Wojciechem Klickim Kuba opowiada, kim jesteśmy, jakie podejmujemy działania, a co najważniejsze wspomina o otwartych rozwiązaniach i o tym jak wygląda sieci społecznościowa bez algorytmów.
„Posłuchajcie rozmowy o Internecie naszych marzeń, który, o dziwo, nie różni się tak bardzo od aktualnego.”
"Few would consent to the state putting CCTV in everyone’s bedroom to crack down on the abuse of children. But that is effectively what a technology notice could mean: a CCTV camera in everyone’s phones."
@openrightsgroup Yes to #privacy protection through encryption, BUT ALSO FROM THE PROVIDERS. There is evidence of the mal appropriation of data from Meta — governments and companies should not be communication via Whatsapp. User habits are what needs to change:
“ The shutdown of WhatsApp would be a political disaster for any government, and not just because ministers and MPs would lose their main communications platform; millions of people who use it across the country will also lose theirs. ”
What Proton AG (products are @protonmail, @protonvpn, Proton Calendar and Proton Drive) has to say about the Online Safety Bill:
“While UK lawmakers have stated they don’t want to ban end-to-end encryption, the only ways an end-to-end encrypted service could comply with the bill are:
"Weakening end-to-end encryption would reduce everyone’s safety online, including the children this bill is trying to protect. Without strong encryption, the sensitive data of millions of people would be at risk."
Proton calls on the government to revise the Online Safety Bill to protect privacy, free speech and encryption.
It's being shut down because the personal behavioural data it's been harvesting & scraping from humans since DayOne of operations simply isn't needed anymore to feed the #Surveillance beast.
Haven't you heard? the injection of #AI into #media ecosystems is where all the action is today...
The police have collected biometric data of 2,400 unaccompanied child asylum seekers under 'Operation Innerste'. This data is shared with immigration enforcement and can be held for at least five years. A huge and outrageous violation of data rights.
Treating an entire population as a suspect whose private messages must be scanned is neither necessary nor proportionate to tackle public policy issues. The spy clause in the Online Safety Bill (UK) must be removed. It's a tool of mass surveillance.
Hm, just got a #Matrix invite link, opted for one of the #web clients to check it out, then the welcome screen tells me that communication is end to end encrypted.
Uhm yes. E2E #encryption in a hosted application? How does that work without key escrow? Not to mention that I can't register anonymously. So either my email provider, Telco, #Google, #Microsoft,... can hack into my account.
Can't recommend this service if #privacy is a concern.

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.
(en/it/pt) Doxcare: Prevention and Aftercare for Those Targeted by Doxxing and Political Harassment
"This step-by-step guide explains how to protect yourself from online stalkers, why it is important, and what to do if you are targeted for “doxxing”—the publishing of your private information. In a era of universal surveillance, when livestreamers broadcast every major demonstration while fascists, FBI agents, and police officers comb through social media posts to gather intelligence with which to harass activists, there has never been a better time to take steps to secure your privacy. Here’s how."
