Much of old media are just a wing of the advertising industry for who forced identification is a commercial windfall specifically because it is targeted at abolishing online privacy.

#auspol #privacy

Old media woefully ill-suited to covering privacy in Australia, distracted by gimmicks and side issues while a new legislated mass surveillance regime goes largely unnoticed and unchallenged.

Here we go again. Uk government issues a new order for Apple to decrypt data it can’t decrypt by design. Why the fuck is our government so determined to fuck up everything fucking thing it touches? Locking pensioners up for holding bits of cardboard. Digital id cards. Porn licenses. Websites blocking the uk rather than comply with stupid rules. No wonder Starmer’s the least popular PM in history (and we had Liz Truss as PM)

Seeing share.google links instead of real URLs?

Google started masking shared links from its Android app, hiding the actual URL and adding extra tracking.

How to disable:
1. Open the Google app
2. Profile → Settings → Other settings
3. Turn off "Shorten links to web pages"

Now you'll share real URLs, unmasked and without extra tracking.

Ted Cruz blocks bill that would extend privacy protections to all Americans

The Texas senator blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from collecting and selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.

i heard last night that imgur was blocked, but i was a bit drunk so i didn't verify it

until this morning, when i actually needed to use it

oh my good god, it is blocked
#OnlineSafetyAct strikes again
and it makes me angry that out of touch MPs are blocking websites on the internet that are not even remotely the problem

#OSA #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol #OSA2025

In search of positives I decided that all the proposed censorship and monitoring coming to the internet will benefit me personally. When UK bans me from logging in and using social media, when EU bans me from using chats, I'll have much more time for myself and my family. I'll learn all the things I always wanted to learn, visit places i wanted to visit, read ALL the books and play with cats. #OSA #UK #EU #ChatControl #privacy #censorhip

The EU Council is again pushing “Chat Control,” a proposal to scan all private messages—even those protected by end-to-end encryption. 🔍

If passed, providers like Signal may exit the EU. 📵
Client-side scanning = mass surveillance. 🕵️
Privacy for journalists, activists, and everyday users is at serious risk. 🛡️

#ArtificialIntelligence apps generating fake nudes, amid other #privacy concerns, make “ #sharenting” risky
Parents have debated the risks and benefits of publishing pictures of their children online for decades but #sharenting” became norm. 1/4 parents do NOT share photos of children because of concerns that online predators and companies may harvest their personal data
