The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)

Canadians, pay attention: Bill C-2 is a quiet threat to your privacy and civil liberties.
With so much happening around the world, it’s easy to miss what’s going on in our own backyard. But Bill C-2, now in the House of Commons, deserves your attention.
It lowers the threshold for law enforcement to access your private data—without a warrant. All it takes is "reasonable suspicion."
What kind of data?
* Internet and cellphone metadata
* Your location and activity logs
* Information shared across borders with foreign agencies
All accessed more easily under vague “exigent circumstances”
As a person who’s been accosted based on “reasonable suspicion” due to…. existing, I’m concerned that this bill expands surveillance powers and erodes due process protections that Canadians have long relied on.
I keep seeing arguments like, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.”
Let me be clear: that’s not how rights work.
Free societies are built on the principle that the law protects the innocent—not that we must prove we have nothing to hide.
If you're concerned (and you should be), reach out to your Member of Parliament. Let them know you oppose C-2 and support real protections for Canadian privacy and civil rights.
On June 3, 2025, the Canadian government tabled Bill C-2, omnibus legislation that, if passed, would introduce a wide array of new federal agency and law enforcement powers, and would significantly reform substantive and due process laws in Canada fo…

#Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 6 Weeks—Forget Chrome And #Android
Long story short is that Google has made updates to its advertising ecosystem essentially _permitting_ the fingerprinting of devices for use in targeted advertising. In their words they are going to be “less prescriptive with partners in how they target and measure ads.”
Doesn’t mean fingerprinting wasn’t happening before, just that Google is giving the green signal to the rest of the ecosystem to do so… and will likely use this to maybe replace third-party cookies.
Massive E-Learning Platform #Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen #AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.
Udemy will train generative AI on classes developed/users contributed on its site. It is opt-out (meaning, everyone was already opted in) with a time window... and opting out may "affect course visibility and potential earnings."
Udemy's reason for the opt-out window was reportedly because removing data from LLMs is hard. IMO, that would be the reason for making it opt-in, but here we are...
