According to a study by @kasnder (author of the app "Tracker Control")

"… 85% of apps
from 2017 could send data to Alphabet/Google, compared to 89% in 2020. Apps
still widely send personal data to tracking companies based in a third-party country
without an ‘adequate’ level of data protection, particularly to those in the US …"

It’s time to start using a privacy focused browser! 👩🏻‍💻🔐

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is forcing Apple to give users a default browser choice.

Which default browser did you pick and why? 💻

D., der erwartet, dass die keine Grundsätze beachten. Und meinen, die neuen Daten für alles nutzen zu können.

Dürfen Kundendaten ohne explizite Einwilligung der Betroffenen verkauft werden? Scheinbar ist dem manchmal so:

#sadly you're not getting a similar response here as on #x. I actually put the entire text of your #metatag description into a #google #search...

On top was a link to your #app on #googleplay 🙄

BUT... I scrolled though many results... you're #NOT there... I mean serious, just not there.

Your #Mastodon account comes up well before anything remotely #tuta...

#discrimination comes in so many forms... seems people who speak the #truth are always beat down.

In the US property sale data is publicly available, exposing homeowners. 🏠

New regulations make #anonymous LLC ownership of houses impossible - which many Americans used to protect their #privacy.

Tiny Privacy Tip for Application Developers 🔒✨

Every piece of data you
collect on others with your application becomes a liability to you.

You are responsible for
safeguarding and keeping track of every single piece of personal data you collect.

This is a heavy responsibility.

Especially if you collect and store a lot of data.

A much easier approach is to collect only what is absolutely necessary and delete it thoroughly as soon as it is not necessary to keep it anymore. You will save yourself so many headaches adopting this practice right from the start in your software development.

Remember: You can't be liable for the data you simply never had.
This is the easiest path for you,
and the safest path for your users.

You are right, I was doing that myself years ago before Microsoft went into the cloud with their "Home Use Program" (HUP). It's good to inform and warn people, but we'll also have to accept that many people just don't care about #privacy.


I would use #Outlook only in a business context. Then it's corporate data, and the company can decide to share it with #Microsoft or not. Having 813 "partners" which use your private data while you use Outlook for your private emails, sounds like a #privacy nightmare.


Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #privacy

happy birthday #tuta and I wish more years to come always encouraging and defending #privacy as it's best. It's been an amazing year for me in the process of #degoogling and switching to tuta was the very first smart step. Cheers !!


Random strangers getting paid to 'relay' YOUR texted login codes from THEIR phone numbers.

Privacy & security nightmare fuel.

Industry is turning away from texted verification because they are insecure... so what is #telegram thinking?
