And a plea if anyone from the @EUCommission cares to read this, let me be plain. We do not want sacrifice the rights, safety, protections, and privacy of ourselves and future generations for whatever short term gains you been led to believe are possible and that we've been missing out on. We're fine not having the latest AI bots and image filters in our chat, we don't care if our personal data isn't included in our google search and we have to painstakingly switch the tab to where it lives, we don't need the latest feature to talk to on our phone. Access to any of those things do not make our lives materially better. We all can see happens when those protections are removed and private industry is allowed access by simply looking what is happening in the USA. The current society and system in USA should be looked at as a cautionary tale, not an aspirational goal. We do not want what they have, we are not missing out, we are not falling behind, please stop trying to force this regression on us. The ONLY path that leads to one where our lives becoming materially worse, so why are you insisting on repeating all their same mistakes?

Good morning @pluralistic . I'm not sure if you are presantly and actively still involved with the #EU efforts of the @eff , but since we're at defcon 3 and dropping fast over here on the #european continent, I thought I'd ask. Do you know if they are already engaged working with the @EC_DIGIT to help guide them away from making this horrible mistake before it is too late (see link from @noybeu at end of post)? Is there anything "we" can do to help or efforts to coordinate. In your interviews, podcasts, and writings you regularly mention the #gdpr and #dma as the only real consumer protections left in the world, and the only thing slowing down the, now seemingly inevitable, ameri- #enshittification of EU. Would you be willing to bring mainstream and public awareness to this development in your future talks/interviews regarding #enshittification?
Please interpret the attached image along with all included subtext you can think of to be a deliberate choice in portraying the precarity of our current situation, and the forces we may be facing.

Not really huge news as many of us use ad-blockers and other privacy tools, but Facebook's data-harvesting "Like button" is finally going away.

👁️ European privacy group noyb files a criminal complaint against Clearview AI in Austria, alleging illegal biometric data scraping under #GDPR.
The complaint could bring the first criminal penalties for AI privacy violations in Europe.
Schrems: “Clearview AI ignores EU fundamental rights.”

Attention Canadians, French people, and anyone outside the United States: Microsoft says your country's data protection laws are void and null if the US government says so. Microsoft will turn over any and all information about you to the US government at that government's request no matter what your country's laws say. Time to stop using Microsoft if you value your own privacy and your nation's sovereignty.
And hey, fellow Americans: time for you to stop using Microsoft, too, and start putting your data overseas in the servers of non-American countries. The only way any of us are going to protect our privacy is to have as little to do with our own country as is possible, and in the digital realm, there's actually a lot we can do. My Mastodon server is not the US. My personal server and email is not in the US. My company email is not in the US. I don't use Google or Meta at all, and the only thing I "use" Microsoft for is Visual Studio, which I'm even moving away from now that I'm getting out of programming for good.
Take back your privacy by boycotting the companies willing to spy on you, either for their own profit or for the corrupt, fascist American government.

Data privacy rules like GDPR are fueling a climate of risk aversion, slowing open data progress.

Patch supposedly already fixed account takeovers (I noticed I was logged out unexpectedly on Sunday night/Monday morning). Email leak to be fixed soon (hopefully).

Oh I see the absurdly, negligently insecure Tea app is now getting the "hackers hacked" treatment, so that it can comfortably deflect blame to some unspecified scary hackers?
Cool, cool.
takes out a bullhorn
📢 Tea kept drivers license photos of thousands of women in an unprotected Google Firebase storage bucket.
📢 Centering "hackers" means helping let those responsible for the horrendous negligence at Tea off the hook.
👏 There is no "hack", only other people's negligence.
Corporations/Institutions need to start being held accountable when PII is leaked due to shoddy and insufficient security practices are being implemented
If they can't secure their data infrastructure, then they shouldn't be asking for such sensitive information.
When this happens its a no on both counts. I'll find the content elsewhere thanks!!
