A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...

What are stalker ads?

Meta harvests personal data to track your behaviour, making assumptions about who you are and what you believe. This is used to sell targeted adverts

By settling Tanya O'Carroll's case, Meta admits that you have the right to opt-out.

New blogpost: "Updated handling of errors and personal data breaches under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016"

If you are a telecoms operator providing services to people in the UK, or a UK surveillance law aficionado, and are interested in the operational minutiae of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, then this is for you.

For everyone else, this is probably best treated as a remedy for insomnia.

This is a strawman.

People are (rightly) upset at billionaries stealing both from the commons and from everybody else.

The problem is that right now #copyright (that backs #copyleft) and #dataprotection (#GDPR and so on...) are the only (weak) shield people have to fight back.

They are in fact too weak.

We need a total ridefinition of #PublicDomain, turing the default to a strongly protected #common that can be used freely but only to produce more content (#software, #art...) under the same public domain regime.

We need to turn unprotected #commons to an exception.

And we need stronger data protection and privacy laws, that grant people the right to be paid for any abuse of their data an exponentially growing amount (say 1€ for the first bit, 2€ for the second, 4€ for the third and so on).

Finally, we need to get rid of billionaries. Hopefully, without too much violence.

"OpenAI’s highly popular chatbot, ChatGPT, regularly gives false information about people without offering any way to correct it. In many cases, these so-called “hallucinations” can seriously damage a person’s reputation: In the past, ChatGPT falsely accused people of corruption, child abuse – or even murder. The latter was the case with a Norwegian user. When he tried to find out if the chatbot had any information about him, ChatGPT confidently made up a fake story that pictured him as a convicted murderer. This clearly isn’t an isolated case. noyb has therefore filed its second complaint against OpenAI. By knowingly allowing ChatGPT to produce defamatory results, the company clearly violates the GDPR’s principle of data accuracy."

I'm glad that I have a Google Pixel 8a and not a older model. There have been many reports of Google Pixels exploding! It's horrendous. I would strongly recommend against buying anything older than the Pixel 8 series.

Disclaimer: I'm not a expert and haven't deeply researched this topic, but I considered it important enough to give everyone a warning.

"No city or state can provide sanctuary to undocumented residents while actively sharing data with ICE. As fusion centers’ numbers and power continue to grow, the threat they pose to immigrant communities is accelerating. Without dramatic steps, like localities’ large-scale resignation from participation in fusion centers, sanctuary promises will continue to be undercut by the daily reality of wholesale data sharing"

Google has announced that Gmail will phase out SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) in favor of more secure methods. This change aims to enhance user security by reducing vulnerabilities associated with SMS codes, which can be intercepted. Users are encouraged to adopt alternatives like Google Authenticator or security keys for better protection.
