If you want to be asked for your permission before corporations get access to your private #medical records in the #EU, there is a big petition for you to sign that demands exactly that:
I know I've mentioned this before: but there is still time to sign the #WeMove petition and tell lawmakers to stop selling out your #medical records without permission.
Super excited to promote the #privacy champions at #RightsCon . All those privacy scholars and practitioners look great in those great big color glamour shots, and we're sure Costa Rica is beautiful this time of year!
Big thanks to all the great, privacy-conscious sponsors for making all this possible!
Then the #RightsCon·org & accessnow·org websites are both actually #Cloudflare sites! So the event organizers have aligned themselves with the oppressors they are taking money from.
Absolute disgrace.
What is this “freshPrivacyThinking”? No privacy? WTF.
@futureofprivacy The one useful take away here is that whoever would show up to this conference is tainted by this masquerade of anti-privacy actors trying humorously to fool people into thinking they are in favor of #digitalRights. Not really surprised #EFF would be there; they’ve been falsely positioned for over a decade now. BTW, #DuckDuckGo donates to #accessNow.
Further proof you don't actually own your phone: #Android begs you to delete files you downloaded intentionally to make room for "data" put there automatically by apps. This "data" can be cleared by you, but not without also deleting your logins. You're actively punished for using your #phone.
@f800gecko Mention of token ring and Novell networks brings back some memories. Sorry if the response came across wrong. The correction and specificity is really appreciated. Even if it is a somewhat flawed analogy, the intent was to make the point that asserting any content that touches a protocol could be subject to a limitless forever license is a pretty ballsy move.
Hi, I'm looking to fill up my RSS feed reader a bit recently!
Anyone got recommendations for blogs, news source etc? Nothing too general/spammy.
General news, EU/German politics, cybersec (vulnerability reports), self hosting and programming (rust, nix...) and digital rights stuff. Also LGBT stuff. And computer graphics stuff can't hurt either! :)
No fedi accounts, for that I have fedi, though maybe youtube channels (i think you can subscribe to those via rss?)
California Court of appeal has held that geofence warrants are unconstitutional
For those who don't know, a Geofence warrant, instead of targeting an individual or location like a traditional warrant, forces a carrier such as google or T-Mobile or some other entity to turn over data from ALL users/devices in a given radius.
