E-carceration: AI powered #surveillance

"We occasionally end up with products that can be dangerous to you, or to society in general, which we believe to be the case with Amazon-owned Ring and its relationship with law enforcement."

"We would like to remind you that there are many, many alternatives. Ring cameras are cheap and ubiquitous, but contributing to a just society is also a factor in keeping your family safe."

Why Wired doesn't recommend Ring Cameras.

@evacide #Stalkerware is the name for #Govware aka. #Surveillance #Malware that should be illegal with no exceptions!

I like how @maia is dismantling those shit providers...

You go for a walk. Every car along the way, whether parked or passing, recognizes you by your face, your gait, etc. They follow your every move, record which stores you enter and leave, which homes you visit, who you talk to and what you talk about. And that's just the cars. All that data is then gathered and correlated with millions of other data sources.

This is the world we're creating. #Surveillance

"The UK government will concede it will not use controversial powers in the online safety bill to scan messaging apps for harmful content"

To be honest, I expected this to happen in spite of troubling statements from gov't. Relieved to see they finally started to get it. Bad news though: Online Safety Bill even without that clause is still a crappy legislation that should be discarded.

So storj.io is a file datastore company.
On its website is a link to a "Canary" to indicate if they've been compelled to provide gov't access:

Does this mean what I think?

@scatty_hannah Personally, I think "supervising a kid's online access" is a facist idea in that it's a lazy cop-out of teaching #MediaLiteracy and most likely gets used and abused for #Censorship and #Surveillance instead of "protecting Children"...

But then again people in the USA get summoned before court for letting their kids walk or bike to and from school...

Well this is a helluvan interesting story more than a propane tank exploring.

Most fascinating to me is... They have their own #surveillance system.

I saw the videos of the fire and explosions but missed this story when it came out.

Multiple explosive devices' used in bombing at encampment outside Seattle hospital

Oh look, #X aka formerly #Twitter is working on "internet by passport". Another "brilliant" idea by #Musk https://nitter.net/nima_owji/status/1691850092385370483

What could possibly go wrong in future... right? I can imagine authoritarian governments and anti-privacy politicians loving this. #Privacy #Surveillance #OpenInternet #Security #Internet #Tech

Enormous and important research from Adalytics about Google and Youtube disgusting and shameful approach with ad targeting towards children, including online tracking their activity https://adalytics.io/blog/are-youtube-ads-coppa-compliant (+ more from NYTimes report: https://archive.is/T0Ajh)

I wish politicians would actually focus on limiting/forbidding such invasive digital advertising rather than asking for encryption backdoors. #Privacy #Surveillance #YouTube #Google #Tracking #Advertising #Ads

In another unsurprising turn of events, Ru(SS)ian Interior ministry proposed changes that would allow the police to give access to the users' messages before court warrant. https://meduza.io/news/2023/08/16/mvd-rossii-predlozhilo-predostavlyat-politsii-dostup-k-perepiske-rossiyan-do-sanktsii-suda

Why unsurprising? Because they're simply legalising and simplifying this procedure instead of getting court warrant "after the fact". #Privacy #Security #Surveillance #RussiaIsATerroristState

@ncoca yeah, that was expectable....

And the "P.R." #China is a good example to distrust any #Surveillance and making human rights enforceable against the will of the government...

"The minutes of the previously undisclosed meeting reveal that Philp – appointed policing minister by Rishi Sunak last October – and Simon Gordon, the founder of Facewatch, discussed “retail crime and the benefits of privately owned facial recognition technology." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/29/home-office-secretly-backs-facial-recognition-technology-to-curb-shoplifting

How about a simple solution: ban facial recognition cameras in public places? #Privacy #Surveillance #FacialRecognition #UnitedKingdom #Tech

“Greek government ministers have been under spyware surveillance, including when communicating with their European peers, according to the latest findings. But EU institutions insist on considering the matter a national affair.”
