Wir haben auch den offenen Brief "Das universelle Recht, jede Software auf jedem Gerät zu installieren" des #fsfe unterzeichnet, um die Idee zu unterstützen, #Geräte von #unsicherer oder #privatsphärenfeindlicher Software zu befreien. Wir zahlen für die Geräte und sollten dann nicht ein Objekt für #Data Mining und Datenanalyse dieser Unternehmen werden.

"Frantic individual efforts to swat away digital intrusions will do too little. What’s needed, for all Americans, is a full legal and political reckoning with the reckless manner in which digital technology has been allowed to invade our lives. The collection, use and manipulation of electronic #data must finally be regulated and severely limited. Only then can we comfortably enjoy all the good that can come from these technologies."

Fucking hell, as some of you have pointed out in the comments, also, it’s tied to my router. I have the same router I had in Malmö. If this is not a GDPR violation, I have no idea what is.

So Mozilla – Defender of Privacy™ – is storing my location history, tied to my router, without ever having gotten consent from me to do so.

This is a fucking scandal.
