Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads

The social media company likewise tracked when #adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
source: wired.com/story/metadata-shows…
Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video #forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s #surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool #Adobe #Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.
I thought they have cyberforensic experts at the FBI ...

Are we about to lose the last pillar of our digital security? #EU #ChatControl
"Given the grave consequences for the lives of many, and especially the most marginalised, it is crucial that everyone’s privacy is ensured, Viktoria Tomova and Chloé Berthélémy write.
If you use encrypted apps like WhatsApp, Signal or ProtonMail, you should be concerned about the potential passing of a new European law.
This draft law threatens to install de facto spyware on each device and spy on your private communications with friends, colleagues, and families even though they are encrypted.
This is part of a wider trend in #Europe, where #police hack entire networks of communications, and where people are being put on trial, detained or questioned for using #encrypted tools or attending digital literacy training courses."
A couple of years ago I wrote a tweet thread about how I'd begun to see people in the crypto and finreg spaces expressing excitement about the traceability of cryptocurrencies.
Thinking back to it as I watch Senators and crypto industry executives talk about how delightfully traceable public blockchains are. No pesky warrant required!

the past ~month or so i've suddenly started seeing a bunch of people in crypto and in the financial regulatory/enforcement world who are unironically excited about crypto because of the financial surveillance it could empower, and that scares the shit out of me
the other day i was listening to a conversation about how "algorithms" could detect criminal activity occurring on public ledgers in real time to automatically alert law enforcement, or be programmed into the money itself to stop transactions.

Dümmer als die Stasi.
Die staatlichen Inlandsgeheimdienste sehen die Bevölkerung als ihren Feind, das ist ganz logisch, denn das ist ihre Aufgabe. Deswegen sind sie grundsätzlich unmoralisch und einer freien Gesellschaft unwürdig und sollten abgeschafft werden. Egal, ob Stasi oder BND, es bleibt sich gleich.
Massenüberwachung und Unterdrückung gehen Hand in Hand. Inzwischen ist Deutschland wieder Spitzenreiter in den Überwachungs- und Unterdrückungsszenarien, die es sich wünscht. Zusammen mit der Wirtschaft soll der Unterdrückungsapparat massiv ausgebaut werden. Unser Glück im Unglück - sie sind zu doof. Wenn man sich der Zukunft und der Freiheit verweigert, wird man untergehen, ich kanns kaum erwarten. Sterbt.

I almost finished editing/adding #surveillance cameras nearby on #OpenStreetMap.
At the moment, there are 25 different public cameras not counting those for traffic and plate identification.
Ten of public cameras are located in our main public park.
This is the surveillance set deployed in our municipality of about 35K people with no security concerns since decades.
In #England, all newborns are to receive a complete genome sequencing. This is advertised as a measure for disease prevention and personalized health services. In times of domestic political authoritarianization and surveillance capitalist data exploitation - in the case of the #British #NHS even in proud cooperation with the militarized tech company #Palantir - such an approach should by no means be viewed only from the perspective of well-intentioned health care but of control and biopolitical regime.
In regards to the developments in the #EU with "health data spaces", biometric mass surveillance and biopolitical authoritarianisation, such practices would also be conceivable outside England.

"Researchers recently caught Meta using an egregious new tracking technique to spy on you. Exploiting a technical loophole, the company was able to have their apps snoop on users’ web browsing. This tracking technique stands out for its flagrant disregard of core security protections built into phones and browsers. The episode is yet another reason to distrust Meta, block web tracking, and end surveillance advertising.
Fortunately, there are steps that you, your browser, and your government can take to fight online tracking."

Nous parlons souvent du #Chatcontrol (#CSAR). Dans ce texte, nous avons résumé pourquoi ce monstre de surveillance que l'UE est en train de préparer, est si dangereux et ce qu'il signifies réellement.
En tant qu'autonomistes, anarchistes et anti-autoritaires, nous devrions lutter contre cela, nous devrions créer une prise de conscience et faire connaître le tout comme un sujet en dehors de la bulle de filtre des activistes d'internet!
Nous vous serions très reconnaissants de nous aider à sensibiliser les personnes et les groupes francophones à cette question.
