Why #privacy matter

This is what civil society, in particular the #DigitalRights community, is up against now: 🇺🇸 has barred leaders of @hateaid, the Global #Disinformation Index, and the Centre for Countering Digital Hate from entering the US

Expect more restrictions, threats, and intimidation against public-interest NGOs globally

EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

ORIGINAL:

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

Mir wurde jetzt schon verschiedentlich #Anytype als Zettelkasten empfohlen. Wird beworben mit #e2e, local first, etc.

ABER:
- Sync ist Standard und kann aktuell nicht deaktiviert werden
- Sync läuft über #AWS
... wo ist das local first?

Warum sollte ich dann von @obsidian wechseln, wo ich immerhin opt-in sync habe?

Offene Frage, convince me. (nicht dass ich convinced werden müsste, finde Obsidian - ohne sync - gut und sehe keinen Grund zu wechseln, bin aber immer mal wieder neugierig...)

Es sorgt auch bei Fedi-Entwicklern für Unsicherheit. Es gibt ein Stipendium für Fedi #E2E und die Erfinder*innen von #ActivityPub arbeiten aktiv daran.

Die E2EE taskforce würde sicher auch interessieren, wie ein solches Gesetz im #Fediverse funktionieren soll und welche Implikationen es hätte.

19 EU countries propose monitoring communications in the EU, but what would that mean for privacy?

Led by Denmark, several EU countries propose monitoring online communication such as private emails and social media messages to combat child abuse.

The so-called “Chat Control” proposal lacks majority support in the EU and faces strong criticism from some EU member states.

Curious to hear people's opinion about Delta Chat...

Especially with an eye on the possibility of mandatory 'client-side scanning' for messaging platforms like Signal and WhatsApp (i.e. turning these messaging apps into a direct eavesdropping device for the police), I'm wondering if Delta Chat might be a good alternative.

Delta Chat is based on email but it functions like an ordinary messaging app. It's PGP end-to-end encrypted, decentralised/federated, open source... so it should be possible for many people to run their own messaging servers, thereby circumventing (possibly, hopefully) the legal requirements of the chat control bill.

🇩🇪 Politische Erpressung: Das EU-Parlament koppelt die Verlängerung der freiwilligen #Chatkontrolle 1.0 offenbar an die Einigung zur verpflichtenden #Chatkontrolle 2.0. Das erzwingt eine schlechte Ratsposition & widerspricht der Position des Parlaments gegen Massenüberwachung!
