OK, jetzt sind alle @exodus bekannten Tracker erfasst (nicht nur die, welche auch Appbrain kennt). Ergebnis: kleine Sprünge in der Statistik. Jetzt gibt es u.a.

- 1 App mit 20 Trackern*
- 2 mit 19, 18, 17
- 8 mit 16
- 18 mit 15
- 36 mit 14
- 45 mit 13 …
- 1123 mit 3 …
- 60% mit 1+L

Wohlgemerkt nur von den 14k Apps in meinen Listen. Und das sind nur *Tracker, die mir als invasiv bekannt sind – da können also durchaus auch weit mehr verbaut sein …

"The basic insight behind Prio is that for most purposes we don’t need to collect individual data, but rather only aggregates. [Prio] does this by having the browser break the data up into two “shares”, each of which is sent to a different server. Individually the shares don’t tell you anything about the data being reported, but together they do... Over the next few months we’ll be doing further testing..."

A new version of my favourite privacy friendly web browser called Privacy Browser for Android has just been released.

It blocks JavaScript, cookies and all other goodies by default and it supports both global and per-domain settings for everything you can think of, like JavaScripts, trackers and cookies.

It makes browsing the modern web on my 3 year old phone actually decently fast.

And it's available via @fdroidorg. :)

A breakthrough in the right to repair movement sees it to be legal for people to #hack and bypass #DRM protecting firmware. Big win I'd say #infosec #security #privacy https://gizmodo.com/its-now-legal-to-hack-drm-to-repair-your-own-devices-1830002757/amp

A data only Sim card which won't function unless it's through #Tor. Genius idea for the #privacy conscious folks out there! #infosec #security

A win for #privacy! Now make your voice heard so that all countries follow the Danish example: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/denmark-email-encryption-gdpr

Apparently at least one major government had an insider working undercover at Twitter:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/20/us/politics/saudi-image-campaign-twitter.html

It doesn't really matter if Twitter is trustworthy or not, simply having a vast amount of personal data in one place is going to attract spies from all sorts of organisations that wish to misuse it.

This is why decentralisation is important, to make it technically more difficult to invade people's privacy.

#Privacy #Twitter

Identity Thieves that *copy* data from Surveillance companies are doing this same thing as those companies - using data of our lives against us without our input or control.

We should have control over our data.

This is a political issue.

Technology has only and will only continue to allow this surveillance at massive scale.

Vote, run for office, conduct civil disobedience (if you’re willing to face the consequences), call your representatives and hold them accountable.

#Privacy

Note: when a breach claims “stolen data” nothing is stolen.

Stolen implies that the original content is no longer available.

Data is copied.

This is why breaches at Equifax, Experian, Transunion (TLO), etc. have little impact on those corporations.

They can still do business.

Toot, toot ... and we're off! Hi Mastodon community. We're so excited there's this open source and decentralised social network to be a part of. It aligns nicely with our values. We believe in having open source alternatives to all the big names out there 😉
