Windows Device Identifier Helped FBI Trace and Arrest Alleged Scattered Spider Member

A Microsoft Windows device identifier known as a Global Device Identifier (GDID) proved critical in linking 19-year-old Peter Stokes to a string of ransomware and extortion attacks tied to the Scattered Spider hacking collective.

Footage Shows #Cop #Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After #Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

source: 404media.co/footage-shows-cop-…

Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

Footage Shows Cop Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

A Florida police officer met a woman on a TV set, surveilled her for weeks, stalked her, and nearly caused a head-on collision while chasing her to pull her over.

Are the next steps through the courts?

If the Data Retention Directive (Directive 2006/24/EC) couldn't survive _Digital Rights Ireland and Others_ (C‑293/12 and C‑594/12), surely this is in many ways many times worse?

Google is apparently testing a new reCAPTCHA method that prompts you to turn on your device's camera to prove you are human by scanning your hands.

I assume this will eventually be mandatory, just like the current reCAPTCHA.

"Age verification" should be called by its real name: ID verification—a new form of mass surveillance.

Parents already have effective tools to protect their children online: parental controls, screen time limits, or no device at all.

More surveillance won’t fix social media’s harms. Instead, let’s hold big tech accountable for the toxic algorithms fueling addiction, manipulation, outrage, and polarization.

Canadian legislation called the Lawful Access Act would give the government broad new powers to compel technology providers to build #surveillance tools into their systems. Canada has also been negotiating a cross-border data-sharing agreement with the United States that would require Canada to change its laws to allow US law enforcement to directly issue demands for personal data held by Canadian technology providers. thewalrus.ca/trump-wants-to-ta…

Working with bots

@lupo made an interesting discovery:

At least for German media, someone - if not Wsocial itself - is using bots to promote the so-called social media in the readers of newspapers & other media outlets in the letters to the editors / commentary section

This is not what fairness or transparency looks like

Die erste Begegnung mit einem Mann mit Ray-Ban-Meta-Brille hatte ich mir anders vorgestellt.

Es war beim Decathlon an der Kasse. Ein Mitarbeiter hatte diese Brille auf. Ich habe ihn darauf angesprochen. Da sie aber scheinbar nicht an war (es leuchtete keine Lampe), kann ich ja auch rechtlich nichts machen.

Auf die Frage, wofür er die Brille denn braucht, wich er aus: "Zum Musikhören." - "Für Private Zwecke."
Dann fing er an, im Gesicht zu zittern.
Ich bat ihn, seinen Vorgesetzten zu sprechen.

Der meinte auch, er könne seinen Mitarbeitern nicht vorschreiben, was sie für Brillen tragen.

Aus meiner Sicht gehört so etwas verboten.

"What is described by the term surveillance publishing outlines a development in which major scholarly publishers, but also other suppliers like database providers are mutating into data cartels that are not satisfied with the exploitation of the publication as data model but are expanding into ever more areas of the research life cycle as well as service and administration processes."

"Higher education is becoming more and more blind to its very own mission, instead the Merchants of Doubt are gaining momentum and science is slowly moving closer to the fantasy-industrial complex, where tech oligopolies and authoritarian disseminators of alternative facts are increasingly converging."

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

“My fear is that W Social is just another for-profit Big Tech startup that happens to be based in the EU. We don’t need that. We don’t need more European surveillance capitalists and people farmers. We need ethical alternatives working for the common good.”

#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!

Ok so, having a @protonprivacy plan running until April 2027 gives me the time to test and evaluate other options.

I'm giving @thunderbird desktop app a go, and I've seen they have an iOS app in the making (by the end of the year).

I actually secretly hope that, by then, I'll have freed myself from Apple services, but who knows. I'm not a fan of Google–Android tbh. Alternatives?

Sometimes I think I'd rather live in a cave.

Fascism 2.0

‚The grip of Big tech is not merely a matter of financial domination or caste privilege. It structures an authentic (techno-)fascism. A global system far more resilient than an oligarchy. This power does not seek to convince, but rather to neutralize all dissent at its root. Through attentional capture and algorithmic invisibilization, it imposes a perpetual and globalized present that freezes inequalities and seeks to confine existences within a permanent biopolitical order….‘
