Sea Shepherd Global caught two super #trawlers with their massive nets deployed plowing through a mega pod of over one hundred fin #whales as they fed on #krill off the South Orkney Islands, #Antarctica #fishing #dragNets

#Police are able to search your #location months back without a warrant using a tool called Fog Reveal.

"It relies on advertising identification numbers, which Fog officials say are culled from popular cellphone apps such as Waze, Starbucks and hundreds of others that target ads based on a person’s movements and interests, according to police emails. That information is then sold to companies like Fog."

Avoid ad-supported apps as much as possible, especially for navigation where you have to give it your location. Don't give location permission to apps that don't really need it. Uninstall apps that ask for permissions they shouldn't need. And ideally, just don't install that app in the first place. Who the fuck needs the Starbucks or McDonald's app?

I use Magic Earth for navigation, but I also have a Garmin GPS navigator that isn't even capable of sharing my location except when I update it by plugging it into my computer, at which point it asks me whether or not it can upload my location history.

There are indeed #dragnets, yes. And they are #cheatingHumanity.

The big CDN are akin to cancer.

One could legitimately label such #CDNs as #CancerDeliveryNetworks.

We say enforce a cypherpunk law that blocks any entity that owns more than 1million IPv4 (20bits) or more 32million IPv6 (25bits).

Noone needs more than that. If a business/ISP can't be viable with 33 million computers for ppl to talk to they need to disappear.

Its deeply troubling that systems like Tor and i2p have existed for over a decade yet no one has had the guts to promote them strongly. We've had #netNeutrality destroyed, #dragNets built, #techGiants crush #independentMedia, and respected #certificateAuthorities exposed for issuing faulty #encryptionKeys...

What more do we honestly need!?

But when we try to suggest the alternative, many act like its too extreme. The #sleepwalking is real.
