Hello! We’re a tiny and independent two-person not-for-profit based in Ireland. We are building the Small Web. No, it’s not web3, it’s web0.Small Technology Foundation
Not sure about why Linux isn't mentioned in the article, but I'm a bit happier about using #Firefox today.

#SurveillanceCapitalism Spreading In #Schools, Sidelining Role Of #Teachers.
My Take: putting children under 24/7 monitoring, is harmful to natural development + #autonomy.
Ex: intense security (like recent proposal to add armed taser drones + force children to train with them) may do little more than put kids in more fear.

How Surveillance Capitalism Is Spreading to Schools

This issue summarises the issue and suggests a good solution (to have an option to override just the color-scheme setting without disabling fingerprint resistance in general).

Right, so there is such a thing as going too far… this should at least be a configurable option so that folks who want web sites to adapt to their system light/dark mode settings can have that.
There’s a line between protecting people and being paternalistic. And I can’t believe I’m the one having to say this but privacy isn’t the only concern when designing (e.g., in this case you might be overriding someone’s accessibility preferences).
What would Firefox be if it was private by default?
It would be LibreWolf.

If a company actually cared about your privacy and wanted to advertise its products, could it do so ethically? We have been thinking about this issue heavily at Purism.
We value people’s privacy and want to protect it not just with our products, but with how we market our products. Let us know, we are counting on your feedback!

Last week, the Belgian government launched a proposal that would ban Signal. What's going on?European Digital Rights (EDRi)

Global Privacy Control — Take Control Of Your Privacy
Exercise your privacy rights in one step via the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) signal, a proposed specification backed by over a dozen organizations.globalprivacycontrol.org
We have NO IDEA what type of ppl w/be in power (or incorp this) in the future.
Too many ppl reflect only on today.
Gifting MASSIVE total control tech, over all humans, using combined #AI + #Biometrics + Mass #Surveillance + fusion centers.
Corporate interests. Discreet power struggles.
Anything short of a full ban today is (at best) a hope future leaders will care more about your children's freedom than they do donor profits & digital dictatorship dreams.
Hah, when I wrote that six years ago, it was meant to be a warning, not an instruction manual 🤷♂️

Well it’s always good to know what the privacy-washers are saying. Know your enemy and all that.
Also good to know who doesn’t mind having their legitimacy in privacy and human rights used to launder the likes of Google and Meta.
All very enlightening.

What do I mean by “the Trump era William Barr justice department “think of the children” playbook?”
EU Commission’s latest attempt to backdoor your privacy tries the Trump era William Barr justice department “think of the children” playbook.
No one thinks we shouldn’t do everything in our power to combat child sexual abuse. Some of us just don’t want to destroy the fundamental human right to privacy (and every other human right that’s based on it) in the process.

"LfDI expects schools to offer pupils alternatives to the MS365 #cloud service for #school operations by the summer vacations in 2022.
From the coming school year, the use of MS 365 at schools must be terminated or its data protection-compliant operation must be clearly demonstrated by the responsible schools."
This is how the SA of Baden-Württemberg starts its press release stating that M365 is not #GDPR compliant and it must be discontinued.

One of my favorite app is @AntennaPod! Similar to #NewPipe, it's acts like a well organized RSS feed for podcasts. No ads & you can download the podcast onto your device. Favorable, if you're #privacy conscious.
Here are the podcasts I listen to (in no particular order):
• Jocko Podcast
• @optoutpod
• Pretend
• @surveillancepod
• The Privacy, Security, & OSINT Show
• The Underworld Podcast

I never did an #introduction!
Hi, I'm Max. I live in #NYC and do #journalism at PCMag where I cover #infosec, #security, and #privacy. I also write reviews of #VPN and professionally complain about #capitalism. I'm the Unit Chair of the ZDCG #union and moonlight as a #labor organizer. If you want to learn about how to unionize your workplace, plz DM me. I play #banjo badly and think about #medieval literature. I'm spending too much money on #fountainpens.

My #introduction:
I did two years of engineering school and two years of journalism. I'm a geek who loves to tell a story.
I make #comics, #illustrations & #paintings. I do a lot of #memoir work, kids books (#kidlit), and speculative #fantasy.
I've spent about 15 years in the world of #infosec (thank you, day job!) and I do a lot of writing and podcasting in this field. I'm not an expert but I am a nerd for #tech and #privacy.
Links are all in my profile if you want to learn more. I'm not gonna spam you.
