This is interesting. Shows that account recovery is always the Achilles' Heel of private and secure communications.

At least it is *optional* to have a recovery email/phone in @protonmail

If you really care about privacy, then don't rely on someone else to help you recover lost accounts/data.

There was a flurry of recent concern regarding changes to Zoom ToS that might allow Zoom to use call recordings to train AI. I'm happy (and relieved) to report that my institution's educational Zoom license is not subject to this: it.ubc.ca/services/teaching-le

Google started mining words on the Internet a while ago.

“Google says AI systems should be able to mine publishers’ work unless companies opt out | Artificial intelligence (AI) | The Guardian”

A good move, but only one step. Still not as good as where of course we choose exactly what we want our feed to look like with no algorithm. :mastodon:

TikTok’s content algorithm will soon be optional in Europe

An example of simplistic thinking about the ethics of privacy in action: It is publicly available therefore not private.

theguardian.com/technology/202

But the ethics of privacy should take into account not merely whether information is accessible, but what others *do* with it. By e.g. making this Toot public I am not giving everyone permission to do whatever they want with it. Some uses may still violate my privacy.

I suspect I know the answer, but is there a privacy - friendly URL shortener out there?

the fucking labour party, mate...
i was a member during jeremy corbyn's tenure & cancelled in 2020 (before i moved to ) when kid starver won the leadership. since then, there's been a data breach (over which i sent an angry email, 'cause i'd asked them to delete all my details) &, yesterday, i received an email for a twee, bloody tea party. WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS ON A DATABASE THAT IS USED TO CONTACT PEOPLE? i'm fucking fuming.

So you’ve heard of ChatGPT and are interested in using ChatGPT safely in your business.
Great!
I wrote this for you.

TL;DR

- Businesses can come to an agreement with OpenAI where data is strictly used via API only and data will not be stored.

- Users can opt-out of having their content used to improve OpenAI’s services at any time by filling out a form.

So just asked me if I wanted to create a post with some photos I had downloaded onto my phone. It was album artwork I had uploaded to use with some music tracks, they weren't even in my main DCIM album, but evidently, good ol' has scoured my entire phone looking for pictures. That's not creepy at all! And people are falling over each other to join SMH :blobcatglance:

Everyone appears to be afflicted with a condition known as Shiny New Toy Syndrome/Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS).

Barely a week ago, Bluesky was the talk of town. Only to be dropped faster than a man runs after hearing the pregnancy test results, by the latest fad - Threads. 🤷 🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤷🏼‍♀️

"Any US resident who clicked on a Google search result from Oct. 26, 2006, to Sept. 30, 2013, can file a claim for a piece of the settlement." That amount would be around $7.
