«...for every repair, an independent repair shop must send #Samsung your name, address, telephone number, your phone’s unique serial number and IMEI, your “customer complaint,” and all the details of your repair. »
Un nouveau projet en préparation à Bruxelles : forcer les services de messagerie à ajouter une règle dans leurs conditions d'utilisations : ils devront empêcher les utilisateurs d'envoyer des images ou des vidéos, à moins qu'ils n'acceptent qu'elles soient numérisées, analysées par l'IA et potentiellement signalées à la police.

If you only read one article this year, it has to be THIS by @Mer__edith, the president of #signal :
"AI is a marketing term, not a technical term of art. [...]
This is also why it’s imperative that we recognize mass surveillance – and ultimately the surveillance business model – as the root of the large-scale tech we’re currently calling “AI”."
The Palestinian genocide has exposed so many things. You may not care about it, but the issues arising from it in : #surveillance , #corruption, #lobbying, #internationallaw, #racism, etc. etc. will come to affect you— one way or another.
I've just appended '_nomap' to the name of my WiFi (SSID) because apparently that's the only way to stop every passing #iPhone from capturing the SSID and sending it with its location back to Apple, who use it to create a global database which tracks devices that offer WiFi or have a WiFi hotspot.
Every person with an iPhone is a roaming #surveillance mule and #Apple doesn't give a shit about anyone's #privacy or the potential harms creating such a database enables. Remember that.
»New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC - Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."« 🤦♂️
🚨 Microsoft's new "Recall" feature is a privacy nightmare. Always-on screenshot capture, closed-source AI analysis, invasive data collection with questionable controls - all impossible for researchers to independently audit.
Users should avoid Recall entirely until it allows 3rd-party audits. This could drive many to switch to Linux.
What are your thoughts on the privacy implications of invasive AI features like Recall?
"As you use your PC, Recall takes snapshots of your screen. Snapshots are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot. "
Il est manifeste que la loi de 1955 sur l’État d’urgence ne mentionne que le terrorisme et l’apologie du terrorisme comme justifiant le blocage d’un réseau social. Le gouvernement devra se défendre devant le #ConseildEtat, et il ne sera pas dépourvu d’arguments non plus.
Just realized that Microsoft Recall is totally going to be sold as an enterprise product for spying on employees. MS has been looking high and low for a way to sell enterprises on AI subscriptions and this is it. They cracked the code. Fuck.
Very concerning: An Israeli Company Is Hawking Its Self-Launching Drone System to US-Police Departments. A Louisiana sheriff’s department has been testing the drone system, which is already used by Israeli police & many settlements. There’s a documented history of US-Israel security tech exchanges, which civil rights & racial justice advocates have long criticized for contributing to the militarization of the police: #Surveillance#PoliceState#Racism#Droneshttps://theintercept.com/2024/05/17/israel-orione-drone-us-police-louisiana/
1/🧵#EU: Criteria for assessing when someone is labelled a "potential terrorist or violent extremist threat" has been finalised by member states–which may facilitate the monitoring, #surveillance and restriction of political activities and #activists.
They say the goal of the new criteria “is to promote entering such individuals into the European databases and information systems"
Slack has always had a horrific privacy policy and default settings that enable workplace surveillance, so it's a good time as ever to share this campaign by @fight - supported by dozens of civil society organizations globally:
"Safety should be an inherent feature of the tech we use in our daily lives and our workplaces. Sign the letter to demand Slack put user privacy and security first."
A USG cybersecurity official has broken ranks from his agency & publicly revealed that attackers have repeatedly tracked the physical location of ppl inside the US using vulnerabilities in the backbone of the world’s telecommunications cellular INFRA in recent years.
The comments from the CISA official are highly unusual in that they provide an unvarnished assessment of the threat posed by such attacks on telecom NWKs-. #Cybersecurity
La #France a fait parti des pays les plus restrictifs des #libertés_individuelles pendant le #covid, allant jusqu'à interdire l'accès aux plages et aux forêts, et demander une auto-declaration écrite pour sortir.
Selon le ministère de l'intérieur, 21 millions de contrôles ont été faits en 🇫🇷 pendant les 2 mois de #confinement 2020. Une enquête du @cnrs sur 16 000 personnes estime que 28% des gens y ont été contrôlé par les forces de l'ordre au moins 1 fois
"Dans des départements comme la #Sarthe ou le #Lot, #police et gendarmerie ont réalisé autant de contrôles qu’il y avait d’habitants adultes"
Est-ce que ça craint que je répertories les cameras de surveillance de ma ville sur #openstreetmap? Il y en a énormément, je sais que la flamme olympique passe ces prochains mois mais là c’est OVERKILL #surveillance#OSM
AAA was who I just went through a 2 month wrassle trying to get my used van insured. They dismissed me out of hand, with the people making the decision never letting me know who they were although they got access to LOTS of data about me. No accountability.
Remember you can fight things & if we don't fight things, they tend to get worse. Remember you can not just complain to AAA, but if you're in CA you can complain to the Insurance Commissioner
Today ORG joined Big Brother Watch, 38degrees, Organise and other groups to deliver a 270,000+ strong petition to 10 Downing Street.
We say NO to powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill that’ll let the UK government spy on the bank accounts of ANY benefit claimant.
New from me: Menstruation-tracking apps leak users' #data to advertisers & law enforcement, especially post-Roe v. Wade in the US. To address these apps, I recommend data decommodification, which requires data be collected only to provide the service (ie., period tracking) but not be repurposed toward other activities (like advertising). #surveillance
