"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
The target of keeping long-term global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) is moving out of reach, climate experts say, with nations failing to set more ambitious goals.
Kennt ihr weitere Kanäle? Ich ergänze die Liste bei Vorschlägen, sofern sie den Kriterien entsprechen (siehe nachfolgenden Punkt „Hinweise“). Neue Accounts werden mit dem Symbol :neu_01: gelabelt.
:eil_01: 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲
Keine (inoffiziellen) Bots, keine persönlichen Kanäle, keine Satire, keine PR, kein B2B, nur deutschsprachig – und nur aktive, offizielle und verifizierte Accounts von journalistischen Medien. Bei Überschneidungen können Dopplungen in der Liste auftauchen (z. B. publiziert das ZDF als TV-Sender auch News, weshalb es sowohl unter TV und als auch unter Nachrichten eingruppiert ist). Dieser Beitrag ist in meinem Profil @Sebastian immer oben angeheftet.

"Friends of the Court," ProPublica's investigation into Supreme Court justices' beneficial relationships with billionaire donors, has been awarded the #Pulitzer Prize for Public Service!
Here are the highlights from the reporting (THREAD)
NEW: Food prices in Europe have been soaring. Earlier this year, the Austrian government said it would build a price database to let people compare costs at different supermarkets. It said this would take months to make and only include a small number of product categories.
Within 2 hours, @badlogic had built a first prototype, pulling the data from supermarket's websites, and open sourced the project. Now Heisse Preise lists 177,000 products from 10 chains.
The transparency has allowed prices to be compared: and the results appear to show supermarkets are watching each other and adjusting their prices based on others. The competition authority is investigating and already said new laws should make supermarkets publish proper APIs with full item data
The same day that Elon Musk fired the entire Twitter team concerned with fighting election disinformation, he also endorses a post where people are being encouraged to vote for the far-right German AFD party. The AFD thanked him for his endorsement and for disbanding the team that was fighting election disinformation.
All media and news outlets that are unsure if it's worth setting up a #Mastodon account because they won't get enough followers: Take a look at Ars Technica (@arstechnica).
Ars established their account fairly recently (Apr 25, 2023) and have quickly gained a large following -- 118K followers!

Mastodon is really starting to build a solid #News#USPolitics and #Legal analysis sector. Some who've been missing for a while are back, and others who've been here the whole time are in full stride:
Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.
Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!
Time for a re-#introduction to the new folks here:
We are a trustworthy, nonprofit #News source, sharing the knowledge of academic experts on many topics.
Our team of editors identifies researchers studying topics that are timely, important or just plain interesting, and helps them write understandably for the public.
NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.
— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable
The attack on encryption in Europe is very real. We obtained a leaked document from the EU showing Spanish officials want to ban end-to-end encryption.
Beyond this, the document shows the views of 20 countries on encryption, and how it relates to a controversial proposed law that would allow companies to scan people's chats to hunt for child sexual abuse material.
The majority said they are in favour of some form of scanning of encrypted messages.
The document also reveals that a lot of countries don't appear to know how end-to-end encryption works, with many proposals being technically infeasible.
