Fight chat control: Mullvad really nails it with their new campaign!

Chat control is one of the worst EU plans to date and opposition is HUGE. Mullvad VPN has now launched a great campaign to fight for democracy.

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. 😵‍💫

When #GooglePlay introduced privacy labels, I was very curious to see how they managed to get reliable data about the #privacy properties of Android apps. I know first-hand how difficult and time-consuming privacy audits of #Android apps can be. Now Mozilla has taken a closer look, and it seems #Google doesn't even have reliable data.

Today I learned that when you "edit" or "correct" a message in #XMPP, the original message is still technically stored on the server or device. It's the client side that understands that the new message is an edit of the previous message, and "displays" it as such. But, if you send a password or something sensitive, "editing" the message after it has been sent might not remove the actual contents of the original version of the message, so make sure you use #encryption too.

#privacy #security

A screenshot of an edited message being displayed in the conversation view of the Dino XMPP desktop client. The message reads, "Disregard this message", and on the right the message encryption selection box is opened to read Unencrypted, OMEMO and OpenPGP.
This is a screenshot of the database entries for a message sent via Dino. These messages are stored in plain text by Dino, despite the fact they were encrypted in transit by OpenPGP. Message 2363 was the original message, 2364 was the edit made. Only message 2364 is displayed in the conversation view, but both versions of the message are stored in the database.

A German court rules in favor of imposing strict guidelines about how #DataAnalysis tools like #Palantir software #Gotham can be used by police. The court ruling also warned against the inclusion of data belonging to bystanders.

What does this mean for your data #privacy and how can you limit the amounts of data collected from and about you? tutanota.com/blog/posts/palant…

The #Go team is considering to add telemetry to their compiler/toolchain:
github.com/golang/go/discussio…

As if that alone wasn't horrible enough, they want to make it opt-OUT.

I can't think of a reason why opt-OUT would be acceptable ... in any case.

This comment sums it up nicely 👇

deanellis: Enabled by default means you believe that what I do on my computer is your business unless I choose otherwise. This should be self-evidently "wrong", because what I do on my computer is absolutely not the Go team's business unless and until I choose to make it your business. It does not matter whether knowing “what I do” makes your job easier, or is somehow "useful" to you. It does not matter if you find an implementation that is somehow technically "legal". It does not matter if the proposed implementation of telemetry itself is sound and reasonable. None of that changes the simple fact that what I do on my computer is not, by default, ever any of your business. [That this is even under consideration raises a number of questions regarding Go's leadership and future direction.]

If you're looking for #privacy, the absolute best option is probably setting up your own #homeserver, but if you don't have the technical know how, the time, or the inclination, the next best thing is a #NAS!

These little things let you store files, photos, host websites, run containers, backup your computers, run office suites, all with simple GUIs, and can be cheaper than cloud storage.

Let's take a look at why you probably need a NAS at home:

SUPL-Server nutzen Android-Systeme, um die GPS-Positionsbestimmung zu beschleunigen. Stellt sich heraus, dass die Domain "supl.vodafone.com" nur ein CNAME für "supl.google.com" ist. 🤦

Man meint also, man würde einen etwas datenschutzfreundlicheren SUPL-Server nutzen, aber am anderen Ende hockt dann wieder Google. 😑
