Wie Berliner Aktivisten Smartphones "entgoogeln"

By default, #Thunderbird automatically blocks images in your emails from being displayed -- because many of those images may contain tracking code.
(Sometimes these images are tiny "tracking pixels" you may not even see).
Take your protection one step further by installing #uBlock Origin to block all kinds of unwanted content in your RSS feeds -- it's now an official Thunderbird Add-on: addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/t…

Are AI tools really as smart as creative writers? 🧐 It looks like we will soon know for sure. In any case, AI and its influence on our societies must be watched closely: After all the tools were trained with human writers content who they are now supposed to replace.

Is #Gmail killing independent email?
"Is it okay that Gmail has the power to decide whether a business is sending spam or not?"
Gmail has rigged the email game imo. It makes running a self-hosted email server hard, even after properly configuring DKIM, DMARC, and SPF.

Stay strong: Desperate governments worldwide want to downright criminalize #privacy and #encryption now, using laughable pretexts like #cybersecurity causing #childabuse to literally put everyone on the planet under a permanent wiretapping mandate like we're common criminals by default.
Smartphones are especially susceptible to surveillance, and among those devices we have the least control over instead of corporations merely renting them to us: It's time for that to change!
Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices.
TL;DR: Don't turn it on.
The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.
We analyzed the network traffic when the app syncs the secrets, and it turns out the traffic is not end-to-end encrypted. As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers. There is no option to add a passphrase to protect the secrets, to make them accessible only by the user.
Why is this bad?
Every 2FA QR code contains a secret, or a seed, that’s used to generate the one-time codes. If someone else knows the secret, they can generate the same one-time codes and defeat 2FA protections. So, if there’s ever a data breach or if someone obtains access .... 🧵

Whole Foods, owned by Amazon, now has biometric handprint scanning to pay for your groceries.
When I expressed my concern, the feller behind the counter said, “It’s just like the biometric scanner on your phone…”
“Um, no, it’s not,” I replied. “Because THAT biometric data is on MY device, not yours.”
He shrugged in response.
I don’t advise you to go this route, friends. Not until there are more legal standards and protections in place to protect consumers.

Microsoft Authenticator prompts the user to accept sharing analytics during the first launch. The prompt only dismisses when the user taps on "Accept." In fact, the app starts sending analytics even before accepting the privacy statement.🤦♂️
In this video, we downloaded the authenticator app from the App Store and we opened it as we monitored the iPhone network traffic. While the app was showing the permission prompt, we captured at least 3 calls made by the app sending diagnostics to Microsoft. The app sent 14 KB of analytics even before accepting the prompt.
The message on the prompt actually says that Microsoft needs to collect diagnostic data in order to keep Authenticator secure and up to date. 😵💫
