India’s union government is pulling out all the stops to get inside its citizens’ phones. First, it was a pre-installed app claiming to be for “cybersecurity.” Now, they want GPS running 24/7. This kind of nosey behavior usually comes from folks in power who feel mighty insecure.

Notizia che lascia amaro in bocca.
GrapheneOS annuncia la migrazione di tutta l’infrastruttura fuori dalla Francia, giudicata ormai insicura per i progetti open source sulla privacy, denunciando crescente pressione da parte delle autorità francesi, con minacce di sequestro dei server e persino di arresto degli sviluppatori se non avessero accettato di inserire backdoor.

Expanding facial recognition without proper safeguards in place puts our rights on the back foot.

We should be able to walk down the street without being ID’d at every step.

The UK Parliament must wake up and halt the march of this tech with its questionable accuracy.

Futurism found that Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is actively doxxing everyday people, handing over real, current home addresses, phone numbers, emails, even family members’ info with almost no prompting.

This is shocking. Even for someone like me who researches this stuff all the time. With a first hand account it's worse than you thought...

At a whopping £1.8 billion, Digital ID is costly to the UK taxpayer and our rights.

This divisive scheme wasn't on Labour’s manifesto. It’s the last thing this government should be embarking on during a cost of living crisis.

The whole thing needs to be binned.

"The Dutch government has quietly removed #Google #tracking tools from job listings for its intelligence services over concerns that the data would expose aspirant spies to U.S. #surveillance," according to POLITICO.

"The intervention would put an end to Google’s processing of the data of job seekers interested in applying to #spy service jobs, after members of parliament in The Hague raised security concerns." 💥

Swedish police have been secretly using Palantir's AI tools for atleast five years to profile citizens, pulling data from BankID, phone operators, social media. When journalists asked for documents, police refused, citing "national security."

This is Palantir. The company a UN report accused of being complicit in Gaza genocide. The one tracking immigrants in the US, building registers of British citizens' sex lives and political views.

They're using tools from that company on Swedish citizens and won't even admit it exists. National security is being used to justify mass surveillance and it pisses me off.

What is the world turning into? Is this what we want for our kids?

Comme souvent, Gaza sert de terrain d’expérimentation pour les fabricants d’armes et les technologies de surveillance — ce que révélait déjà The Lab (édition Mutins de Pangée, disponible dans l’abonnement CinéMutins).

Age verification is emerging in the EU as a tool to protect minors online ⚠️. But it raises privacy risks, expands surveillance, and excludes millions from digital spaces 🔒.

Experts warn it creates a false sense of security while failing to address root causes of online harm.

Who’s Trying to Bring Down GrapheneOS? The French Authorities Go on the Attack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veqfy8IwKDQ

Something serious is happening in France right now — a quiet but very real shift toward digital authoritarianism. A major French newspaper recently published a story, backed by statements from a deputy prosecutor, claiming that GrapheneOS isn’t a respected open-source security project… but the “secret weapon of drug traffickers.”

This kind of rhetoric is dangerous. It pushes the idea that protecting your privacy or encrypting your data is somehow suspicious. In this video, I break down this media and judicial offensive, the drastic reaction from the GrapheneOS project — which now considers France an unsafe jurisdiction — and why defending our right to a private, secure digital life has become absolutely urgent.
