Oh nice. For a test project I installed a #telegram app on a tablet with an empty #adressbook only to find out that it send out that information to obviously every Telegram user that had my number in their adressbook. How illegal...
And that happened BEFORE I could adjust any settings during the setup. I dont think I just missed that, but that is a big fail. It's been a while, but does #Signal do the same? I hat such practice.

⚠️Warning to all Fediverse Admins: the data scraper @Awakari@activitypub.awakari.app is back!🤬
Not sure how many times we have to teach them this lesson!!
I am once again calling for #Fediblock for this data scraper. This is the 4TH TIME they've created a new instance because of our blocks.
So I am making this the 4th time they'll be blocked. Don't let folks sell your data without consent!!! Block them ASAP!

The European data protection group noyb @noybeu filed a complaint against #X / #Twitter last year for violating the #GDPR:
👉 noyb.eu/en/gdpr-complaint-agai…
As determined by noyb, the company collects sensitive data such as political views and religious beliefs by monitoring clicks, likes and responses to posts on its own platform.
Felix Mikolasch, data protection lawyer at noyb: “After we filed our first complaint in this matter, the EU Commission has already confirmed to stop advertising on X. However, to put an end to this in general, we need enforcement against X as a platform used by many others.”
In our petition

we pointed out the #DataProtection problems with the major platforms and thus recommend the use of #Fediverse services at #universities.
