How to Stop Any Smart TV From Spying on You:

"Smart TVs track your viewing habits using content recognition and voice capture for targeted advertising.

Disconnecting smart TVs from the internet can prevent data tracking, but limits functionality and will require you to use a streaming box for many tasks (which may also track you)"

Idk why not at this point. The critics got like everything they wanted. Everything is pretty much . And because of that it's difficult to follow from here the artists I follow at . ​:satsuki_sadge:​

You could say "just ask each one of them to follow you then", but that's easy for you to say. I don't like looking like an unsolicited jerk asking if they want to hear the words of Jesus Christ or something. Which is how I see some of you here on fedi btw. Damn evangelists. No different from techbros or FOSSbros

Now I do think the early stages should be opt-in like a beta as it is right now to iron out the bugs (and there are plenty) before being available fully to the public. But I have a feeling this is never gonna go as it should've been because of the harshness of those ignorant IANALs who do not really understand the and other laws... ​:reisensweat:​

More reason why it is appalling that Australians are being forced to use for services ranging from entry to sports events, access to medical services, etc - a firm has now been hacked and you can't change your face like you can change your password!! https://www.wired.com/story/outabox-facial-recognition-breach/

Starting May 1, developers need to describe their use of APIs that can potentially be used for fingerprinting. This is a new App Store requirement. Chrome, Instagram, Spotify, and Threads don’t adhere to their declared reasons.

Many video game anti-cheats act essentially like malware.

This is because they are given Kernal level permissions which allows the software to monitor the system.

Many popular online games use anti-cheat. Be aware.

Qualcosa di scontato: se la #NSA può obbligare un'azienda statunitense a darle i dati che mette su server europei, la #privacy di tutti i docenti e gli studenti le cui #università si fanno usare da #Microsoft o #Google è inesistente, e gli amministratori che cinguettano "ma i server sono in Europa, ma abbiamo un contratto blindatissimo..." semplicemente mentono: https://blog.quintarelli.it/2024/05/american-data-spies-will-never-care-where-the-servers-are/
