@pluralistic Loving your latest book _The Internet Con_! But I can't find the TikTok logo in the **quadrants of evil** chart (upper right corner), p.36, or "off the charts" on the inside back cover. Am I missing something?

Background: The text mentions that TikTok is "off the charts" on the inside back cover. The inside back cover is a blank page.

You owe it to yourself to watch the video and/or read the transcript. Highly recommended. Brilliant journalism.

"Nobel-winner Maria Ressa on how the future of journalism and democracy are linked."

"And it is about to get worse, because you now have generative A.I. coming in, so you're going to get industrial-grade propaganda coming at you, and you won't be able to tell the difference from fact and fiction."

Join the Global Encryption Coalition's Steering Committee in calling on Ministers in the Council of the EU to reject all scanning proposals inconsistent with the principle of end-to-end encryption, including client-side scanning and upload moderation, as it will create serious security and privacy risks with global implications:

Palestinians are under a mass #surveillance. When a Palestinian's rating rises above a certain threshold, Israeli intelligence officers add them to the kill list.

@chloeraccoon @patterfloof As in folks love to say you’re the produce being sold but you’re actually too valuable to sell. If you’re my user (the person I, as a Big Tech corporation, that I use), then I’ll never sell you. Oh no, I want to own you forever, exploit you myself, and rent access to you so others can exploit you also. I run a people farm. And you’re the livestock.

Hi @potus why aren't you moving to an own #independent #mastodon instance? Or to a non #surveillance #hypercapitalistic instance?

Google: you should trust us because we’re the most intelligent people on earth.

Amnesty International a lancé une pétition contre la technologie de reconnaissance faciale en France, déployée sous le prétexte des Jeux olympiques. À signer et à relayer si le cœur (et le cerveau) vous en dit 🙂

"A l'occasion des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques de Paris, la France a légalisé la vidéosurveillance algorithmique. Concrètement, des caméras dopées à l'intelligence artificielle vont passer au crible, en direct, vos moindres mouvements pour détecter des situations "anormales". Une loi votée en procédure accélérée, sans véritable débat public. Avec l’adoption de cette loi, la France devient le premier Etat membre de l’Union européenne à légaliser, à titre expérimental, ce type de surveillance. Il s’agit d’un véritable tournant qui ouvre la voie à l’utilisation de technologies encore plus intrusives comme la reconnaissance faciale...

Alors, nous demandons, dès maintenant aux parlementaires d'adopter une loi interdisant la reconnaissance faciale à des fins d'identification dans l'espace public. Seule une interdiction totale, sans exceptions, permettra de garantir la préservation de nos libertés individuelles et collectives. Agissez avant que la reconnaissance faciale ne devienne notre réalité en France."

Confiscating migrants' mobile phones deprives people of access to the Internet and support networks.

It isolates people being held by the UK State and restricts their ability to exercise legal rights in the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.

This follows a previous Home Office policy to seize mobile phones and extract data onto the Project Sunshine #surveillance database.

Despite the practice being ruled illegal, the government is at it again.
