We live in a truly bizarre world

Companies like #facebook sell people's secrets and at the same time have a CSO who speaks about "security"

Companies like #microsoft put back doors in everything, say they fight for our #privacy in courts. #apple also...

Alex Stamos, the #security [sic] chief at #facebook , seems uninterested in actual security, having compromised the #privacy of billions of people, even non-useds (no consent!)

Outsources it to C.A. Oh, sorry, they've renamed, didn't they? No longer "Cambridge Analytica..."

A few nights ago my partner, Jen, and I were watching a documentary on how much data #Google and #Facebook keep on people.
She now has #Firefox, #DuckDuckGo and #Wire installed. I'm about to migrate her #Gmail to my servers, and she's considering leaving Facebook.
Just shows what a bit of eye opening can do. Shame she never listens when I tell her these things! 😂 #Privacy

  By Gaël Duval from Gaël Duval (À propos, news, mandrake, eelo...)
  
  Since I’ve started eelo.io, at the end of 2017, I had many discussions about the privacy of Chinese smartphone firmwares. Many people told me: if it’s technically possible to put some anti-privacy features into the firmware, they do it. What would be the benefit of running eelo on such smartphones if their proprietary firmware drivers … Continue reading "Should we be concerned about Privacy with low-level Chinese smartphone firmwares?"

Amazon Echo Dot for kids?

I got an e-mail from Mozilla to put pressure on Amazon to say what they do with the data they collect from children.

How about educating parents as to why the original Dot is a bad idea, and why this is even worse. These children are defenseless in a #surveillance society without the help of their guardians---having every aspect of their being dissected and analyzed before they even know what is happening or that they should care. By the time they have grown and maybe _do_ care, it is already far too late; they are already compromised. Most of the things learned about children won't change into adulthood. And further, Amazon will help to shape what these children become based on how they interact with Alexa, whether they intend to or not.

In Hunt For Golden State Killer, Investigators Uploaded His DNA To Genealogy Site : The Two-Way : NPR https://nu.federati.net/url/131156

#dna #privacy

“People who submit DNA for ancestors testing are unwittingly becoming genetic informants on their innocent family,” Steve Mercer, the chief attorney for the forensic division of the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, told the AP. He added that they “have fewer privacy protections than convicted offenders whose DNA is contained in regulated databanks.”

I stopped using apps from Google's ecosystem on my Android phone more than a year ago already and I honestly don't miss them.
Battery lasts longer, data usage is lower and I they can't mine my personal data.
