> Google will soon store Maps users’ location history locally on their devices instead of in the cloud, a big change that will make it more difficult for law enforcement to access the data.
Because they are bound by U.S. law and #CloudAct was specifically designed to enforce #Cyberfacism in the sense that if a company operates or is incorporated in the USA, ALL their brances, subsidiaries amd parent companirs must comply with every U.S. law even if they don't transact with U.S. citizens/organizations/corporations and/or U.S. (occupied/annexed) soil...
I doubkt Google can do so unless they were to suicide their data-driven business...
Literally making it possible to delete people from registries and locking them out of their identity makes it trivual to commit #ForcedDisappearance and illegally #deport and #denaturalize citizens into being #stateless.
And everyone who believes a centralized messenger like @signalapp or a privider like @protonmail will save their ass is either completely ignorant of cases besides #EncroChat & #ANØM or prefers to lie to oneself over the cold reality.
And it's not like I am the only one who works against #Cyberfacism...
Just like with #eCall + banning #anonymous#Prepaid#SIM cards basically making a #GSM#tracker mandatory in #cars under the dalse claim to do "roadside assistance and distress calls" when other options would've offered the same at far less cost, better privacy and better coverage...
Poland: Law and Justice legislator, Ryszard Terlecki, warned of dire consequences, including an upsurge in L.G.B.T.Q. activism that he described as a “rainbow flood,” if the opposition was allowed to form a government.
Espechally since I doubt that workarounds (i.e. marring in another #EU member state) even if they weren't paywalled in a classist manner won't be feasible.
Can we just ban #Christofacism and make all EU members laicist?
Suella Braverman’s letter to the police on the harassment of Jewish people in the UK following Hamas' attack on Israel raises issues for freedom of expression.
We're concerned about the consequences of such a letter when the Online Safety Bill becomes law:
"A newly-published independent investigation uncovered that the European Commission has been promoting industry interests in its proposed law to regulate the spread of child sexual abuse material online."
#KOSA Is horrifying, and honestly, I'm worried it'll pass. That Democrats will throw away LGBTQIA people's right to exist AT ALL on the Internet for this bullshit idea of "protecting minors."
Kids are being used as fodder for culture genocide. It's sickening. Please fight tooth and nail to stop KOSA.
LGBTQIA folks have a right to exist. Our writings, art, existence, media all have a right to exist.
LGBTQIA kids have a right to exist too.
KOSA won't protect anyone. It will be used as a weapon to destroy the lives of people and harass us to death or worse. I'm legit shaken that Democrats in America signed on to this atrocity -- they really don't give a shit about us anymore.
I also worry this will impact the ability for websites and places like here to exist even in other countries that are safe for LGBTQIA folks.
Fighting for the right to exist at all is exhausting. But that's the point, isn't it? The Conversative Right wants to enact genocide, to exhaust us so that we give up and allow them to erase our existence entirely. And it's not just LGBTQIA folks being targeted -- People of Color, disabled people, Jewish people, and folks who exist at the intersections of those identities are as well. Basically anyone who is not white abled-bodied cishet conversative Christian is a target for these assholes.
Please fight this and all the other atrocities that these assholes keep throwing at us.
Don't give up hope.
Choose hope. "Hope is a discipline," Mariame Kaba wrote in "We Do This 'Til We Free Us," so let's enact the discipline of hope and continue to fight tooth and nail for the right of people like us to exist and THRIVE.
@taoeffect OFC they could've chosen to implement #eCall in a non-#SurveillanceState fashion by basically using #COSPAS-#SARSAT's 406 MHz band + 121,5 MHz homing signal which would've made the system not dependent on #GSM infrastructure and globally working, but that would've meant people like #Zensursula would've think outside of "How can we accelerate #Cyberfacism in the #EU faster?"...
We need an EU regulation to mandate that all internet-connected devices must have a mechanism to disable internet access entirely and remain functional indefinitely, at whatever capacity is technically possible.
Want to have an app to control your dumb gadget? That fucker can use bluetooth, there is no legitimate reason to require at account on the vendor's website, which they can block at any time, harvest data from at any time, get hacked, and also make your lightbulbs unable to turn off if us-east-1 is down.
@KelsonV well, either @eff didn't put any effort in it or it pretty much flew under the radar of everyone I know...
Needless to say #KiwiFarms is the last thing they should defend, and even if they did actually get their asses up regarding #cyberfacism in the past, allying with #Hategroomers and #StochasticTerrorists that have a literal bodycount of 3 confirmed and a dozen unconfirmed does undo everything they did well in the past...
