Privacy is a human right that should be granted to everyone, no matter the reason. But for millions of people around the world, data privacy is also crucial for their physical safety. For people in extreme situations, privacy can literally mean life or death.

Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.

Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.

But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.

@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.

Sure, they might have your previous data.

But you know what they *don't* have?
They don't have your *future* data.

It's never too late to start improving your data privacy online. Every small step helps.

Chatted with a homeless guy today, he mentioned various serious illnesses he had. I asked if he had seen a doctor and received treatment for them, he replied of course, why wouldn't he? From tone of his voice it was an obvious thing to do, he seemed surprised I asked.

This is how healthcare is supposed to work, it is a human right even for people with nothing. It's supposed to be like calling the fire brigade if there's a fire, pros deal with the problem and no one worries about the bill. It's shocking to hear Americans being denied this right, and being lied to about the reasons why by their government.

If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing as a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

If we want to understand and prepare for (insofar as possible) what's coming now in the US, I think we'd be wise to study societies that have deliberately decided to step back in time by dismantling progressive breakthroughs in areas like human rights.

This DOES happen. It has happened throughout history and right to the present.

Well, not the happiest intro but I’l cut/paste this here while I still remember then add a proper intro spoons allowing..⬇️

Please #boost and share to other platforms spoons allowing.

Seems I’m desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the article below is me.

My story: thecanary.co/global/world-anal…

More info on how to help:: buymeacoffee.com/halcionandon/…

I’ve tried every level of government and they simply won’t help. Please ask people if they have a spare room or somewhere to go. Maybe you have somewhere?

Is anybody a #DisabilityAdvocate? #SocialWorker? Need help.

Please don’t give me contacts for domestic violence orgs. They don’t help disabled people with housing & only offer counselling. Also, that list of disability advocates going around for #Melbourne #Australia (where I am) is outdated - there aren’t any in my catchment. So I’m looking for volunteers with some background.

Accessibility is not a loud, one-time event; it's a quiet revolution. It's also isn't about quick fixes or public shaming.

it's about the power of ongoing action like watering a plant – splash it once, and you'll make a mess; nurture it daily, and you'll watch it thrive.

"for the first time, Commissioner Jourova publicly admitted at yesterday's EDPS summit that encryption would need to be broken for Chat Control to become effective."

Freedom in technology must include freedom from technology.

We must not create societies where the price of admission is owning a device controlled by one of two trillion-dollar US corporations.

We must safeguard people’s access to public services and the everyday necessities of life via alternate methods.

Technology should always be a progressive enhancement.

Do not let Silicon Valley privatise your access to modern life.

Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:

* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLette… and still open for additional signatures.

* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.

This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (wired.co.uk/article/europe-bre…).

Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.

While everyone is distracted by a billionnaire in a submarine, the #UK Parliament is voting on the final stages of the #MininumServiceLevelsBill. This will effectively make it illegal for anyone in what ministers consider "essential services" to strike. It removes a basic human right and is one of the most draconian laws of its kind in the world.
Below is the #TUC take on it after the Lords kicked it out the first time.

Elokapina - Extinction Rebellion Finland regrets and finds it shameful that the Sámi Parliament Act revision was effectively killed yesterday by Constitutional Law Committee.

This makes Sanna Marin's government a third Finnish govt which fails to revise the current law. The law has been condemned e.g. by the majority on the Sámi Parliament, the UN Human Rights Council and UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

“TikTok poses an unacceptable national security risk due to its extensive data harvesting being combined with Beijing’s apparently unchecked access to that sensitive data.” – Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

This is true.

Now replace TikTok with Facebook, Snapchat, <insert Silicon Valley Big Tech corporation or startup here> and Beijing with Washington, DC and…

This is also true.

“EU GDPR enforcement against Big Tech is paralysed by Ireland’s failure to deliver draft decisions on cross-border cases. Ireland’s failure to uphold the GDPR has allowed surveillance to remain the default business model of the digital world.”

The UK could pull out of Europe’s human rights framework after last-ditch legal rulings blocked the government’s plan to relocate asylum-seekers to Rwanda.

“I am evil, our government is evil, the people who voted for us are evil and we will ensure nothing prevents us from carrying out the evil we were elected to do” said home secretary Priti Patel when asked for comment.

#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.

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.
