Mullvad VPN (mullvadnet@mastodon.online)'s status on Thursday, 09-Jan-2025 03:38:19 JST Mullvad VPN

A classic ad in today’s New York Times. It’s a message to all companies, in all industries, all over the world: minimize your data collection, because collected data is data that eventually leaks.

1. A tiny black car silhouette on a warm gray background. Text in a white box at the bottom is split into 3 paragraphs, with the title "Think small" The text reads: Cars are not just cars any more. They don't just take us from one point to another. They also memorize it. They know our daily routes. They have a map of our lives. They know where we work, where our favorite bakery is, and which physiotherapist we go to. They know when we meet upcoming business partners. They know if we’re having an affair. They know the way to our doctors, lawyers, psychologists, lovers, and friends. They know the address of people living under a secret identity. They know where journalists meet their sources. They know when whistleblowers blow the whistle. They know the people working for the government. They know where they go after work. They know some of their secrets and vulnerabilities. The car companies say the data is anonymous. But if one car spends a lot of time outside your home at night and then goes to your work the day after, it's probably yours. We need to think small when it comes to collecting data. Because data that exists is data that eventually leaks. Think it over. This is followed by the Mullvad VPN logo in black and white.
