In French but in short:
LG, Samsung and Sony connected TV take 172,800 screenshots a day, whatever you're watching: streaming services, tv, game consoles etc.
Everything is sent to the manufacturer for "analysis".
Of course, they never ask your consent.

Don't post pictures and videos of kids on your public profile.
Especially if you don't have autodelete set up.
Did you ask them?
Will they mind later even if they say they don't now - are they capable of understanding what that privacy violation means?
You can be. You can just not do it.

While the #US has become an authoritarian state that tramples on the rights and freedoms of people around the world, EU member states want to grant US authorities direct and far-reaching access to #biometric data stored in European #police databases. 😠

I read the whole notice linked at the bottom, & some other things flagged my attention:
First off, it was submitted & approved "through an emergency clearance, w/ the justification of an unanticipated event..."
Oh I think we should be paying WAYYYYY more attention to that part. That's screams to me that we should be anticipating an "event"...
Just me?
Ok moving on...
CBP will use:
✓ geolocation to confirm the traveler is actually outside the US
2/
There are plans to require applicants of travelers to the US to provide a long list of personal data including:
✓ social media
✓email addresses from the last 10 YEARS
✓ all of this data:
• names
• birth dates
• places of residence
• birthplaces
of
• parents
• spouses
• siblings
• children
So if your close relatives travel, they would have to give up YOUR personal info, including where you live.
But everyone is focusing on the social media part.
Yeah, ok.

Oh yes, and then there is this! 😄

Ascoltavo @quinta@castopod.it @quinta@mastodon.uno sulla "casualità" (o "causalità") delle influenze US sulle recenti svolte nelle normative EU in tema #Privacy (https://castopod.it/@quinta/posts/b7879002-a327-4540-bb22-fa7e31c8e7a4/remote/reblog)

Ahead of today's first #CSARegulation trilogue, @ClaudiaCanelles stresses: "EU Member States have made it very clear: the #CSAM Regulation can only move forward if it protects #minors while maintaining #privacy and #encryption." ⚖️

Here are the four paragraphs of conclusion from that clickbaity piece ("Is Signal safe?") by @protonprivacy about @signalapp that is doing rounds.
1. "Signal remains widely regarded as the gold standard for secure private messaging for very good reasons. The Signal Protocol is extremely secure, and unlike most other apps that use the Signal Protocol, Signal collects almost no metadata from the Signal app."

Picking up on this again.
"To comply with the January 2025 E.O. (14161), and the April 4, 2025, Memorandum Updating All Forms to Collect Baseline Biographic Data..."
"ALL FORMS" to what?!?
I guess Americans and others will l will be required to do this when entering EU countries, as well (started in Sept) and EXCEPT Ireland and Cyprus.
In addition to those things listed on the 1st toot in this thread:
✓ phone numbers from the last 5 years
...
8/
...
✓ IP addresses and metadata from photos submitted
✓ family members place of birth
Place of birth for your relatives? Yeah everyone knows that, right?? 🙄
✓ Biometrics—face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris;
D... N... A...
And everyone is all "oh nooo 😱 they want your social media"
