Currently you have the right for a person to review automated decisions if you think there's been an error under UK GDPR.
But computers make mistakes... Are we destined to repeat the mistakes of the Post Office Horizon scandal?
We mustn't weaken rights over AI in the UK Data Bill.

Open Rights Group
The UK government plans to embed AI in public services.
To achieve it, they want to take the brakes off automated decision-making by sacrificing our rights.
And, from Meta to Palantir, Big Tech is eyeing up the personal data bounty from the UK State.

Sigh. Albertson’s has changed their app so there is no longer a way to bypass sharing location in order to pick up a curbside order. (You used to be able to tell them you would arrive around 3:40 pm, etc. and then press a button that says “I’m here”.)
I don’t have to have an abuse case to argue against this. I hate this normalization of surveillance. I can write to the corporation and protest, but most people will just go along with it.

Important Reminder for Signal Users :signal:🔒:
If you activate the new Username feature, you might want to go to:
Settings > Privacy > Phone Number and make sure to select "Nobody" in "Who Can See My Number".
You can also select "Nobody" in "Who Can Find Me By Number" if you prefer that people who get your phone number not know if you are on Signal or not.
This is valid for both Mobile and Desktop.

Are there any #Windows11 users running #24H2 that can confirm whether #Recall has been installed on their system or not?
This article about #Windows appears as if it has been installed on all PCs with the #24H2 release, and not just #Copilot+ PCs, which should be a #privacy concern to be aware of if you're currently using it.

Tiny Privacy Tip for Developers 🔒✨
Data deletion is an important
process for privacy, safety, and respect of consent. It should always be:
1. User accessible :blocky_white_cursor:
2. Done thoroughly 🔎
3. Completed shortly ⏳️
4. Permanent :nes_fire:
Unless there is a legal reason for not doing so, this should be a default feature for every software and services storing users data.
Let’s work together to make sure one day it is.

German court says victims of massive Facebook data breach can be compensated #cybersecurity #hacking #news #infosec #security #technology #privacy https://therecord.media/german-court-says-victims-facebook-breach-compensation

Is this nuts?
Simpler and equal secure way?
Creating a #freebsd #openbsd "security/tor" gateway in the cloud, so I can connect with all my Browsers/Apps/Services (Desktop & Mobile) from everywhere and route my traffic through it?
And to pump it up, I also would install a #headscale server, so I could tunnel my traffic to the VPS via Tailscale privately.
Client ---> ===TailsScaleTun===----> Jail ---> security/tor----> Destination

This is why you should always be an advocate for #privacy, #encryption etc. You should not fall for ”protecting the children” for governments or private corporations storing data from you they have no business storing.
Because at some point there will be a fascist government, and it will use the same mechanisms against everyone which opposes it.
