@Em0nM4stodon ICE officers shouldn't be allowed to stick a phone in anyone's face to run face recognition without their consent. A coalition of privacy and civil rights advocates are telling DHS to end the program immediately.

@Em0nM4stodon Privacy and free expression leave your mind outside the purview of fascists. You can still say 2+2=4. This must be defended in order to defend anything else, or we end up with the modern equivalent of the town crier, the bottleneck to control the flow of information.

@Em0nM4stodon Also a somewhat distinct right of #anonymity that’s being lost. That you can walk down the street without strangers ID’ing you, likewise surfing the Internet

As said Snowden:

@Em0nM4stodon

I think the privacy topic is directly related to corporations thinking they're entitled to harvest alllllll the personal information.

And then replace actual human creativity with mediocre AI summaries.

Privacy is foundational in contrast to the current trends of digital exploitation.

Though, I do think it's absurd that they think they will ever be innovative by switching to a product that can only lie and spit out indiscriminate averages.

@Em0nM4stodon In fact, many websites are becoming more intrusive, now that consumer protections have weakened.

@Em0nM4stodon what's wild is our media have completely dropped any semblance of concern for privacy rights. We have CEOs encouraging teens to share their deepest secrets with robots and news orgs seem oblivious.
