@Jakra Good question. But remember that the #car maker as data processor doesn't need to be the one who *collects* the data. All they need is a unique #identifier to create a profile and then "enrich" it with personal data they buy from other sources.

Combine this with constant location #surveillance, driving habits, and the analysis of conversations held inside the car and this #profiling might just be worth more than the companies make by selling cars.

" #chat - #metadaten (wer kommuniziert wann mit wem etc.) ergeben bei der Nutzung von #whatsapp ein umfassendes und aufschlussreiches Beziehungsnetz ( #socialgraph ). Aus #facebook- und #instagram - Likes lassen sich nicht nur unmittelbare #interessen und Vorlieben der jeweiligen Nutzer ablesen, sondern auch weiterführende #informationen ableiten, wie z.B. Alters- und Einkommensklasse, Familienstand oder die sexuelle Orientierung. In Kombination können die einzeln gewonnenen Informationen mit dem Beziehungsnetz und Eigenschaften von engen Kontakten abgeglichen und ergänzt werden, was zu noch tieferen Einsichten und einem noch aussagekräftigeren Gesamtbild führt."

Zollgesetz schafft Massenüberwachung
"Mit der vorgeschlagenen Totalrevision des Zollgesetzes soll eine neue Form der #Massenüberwachung in der #Schweiz eingeführt werden. Die Logik des Gesetzes ist, eine Fülle an Daten, welche bei der Grenzüberschreitung von Personen, Waren und Fahrzeugen anfallen, zu speichern, im Rahmen von Risikoanalysen und Profiling auszuwerten und an weitere Behörden weiterzugeben, ohne dass der Zweck genügend eng gefasst ist."

A deep dive into the #Python internals for the sake of #profiling, motivated by our work on the #wasm pprof profiler wzprof.

CSS fingerprinting:
Paper "Fashion Faux Pas: Implicit Stylistic Fingerprints for Bypassing Browsers’ Anti-Fingerprinting Defenses"

"... modern fingerprinting attributes can be implicitly inferred in a purely JavaScript-less approach
... significant complications for potential countermeasures ..."

@StillIRise1963 @blogdiva @Steve @AnarchoNinaWrites I initially avoided it because #FTP, but it turned out to be a solid critique of #AI, #profiling, and the #PoliceState, with a side of #BioMech.

We recently came across a rather peculiar situation after a user reported that #nodejs #profiling data was missing.

Read on the blog what unexpected things the @v8js runtime does and how we managed to fix @parca Agent to still profile #nodejs workloads!

Parca Agent v0.22.0 just dropped, which includes fixes to be able to profile #nodejs. Grab it while it's hot!

Study finds that over 50K tickets were reported (but not actually written) for white folks by CT troopers. Number likely much higher, they say! Whole bunch of cops trying to hide their racial profiling. Over-written article, don't read the 2nd half, it's a repeat w/ graphs.

Fedizens, beware of CloudFlare instances like this one asking eerily #personalQuestions.

Or *any* instances, really.

In the early days of #Falsebook there was no shortage of #questionaires like. People thought it fun to spill all to get a cute #avatar. Its called #profiling and was popularised at the start of the #neoliberal, postmodern, #corporatist experiment in the #1970s — they mailed them, then.

Know history, don't let them repeat it.

#Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges

"A stark example of how digital footprints will be utilized in a post-Roe America
[...]
A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents."
