Vom Weihnachtsmarkt zum Überwachungsstaat "Die Stimmen aus den Reihen des deutschen Staatsapparats nach einer Ausweitung öffentlicher Überwachung werden immer lauter. Vor wenigen Tagen hat die „Gewerkschaft der Polizei“ (GdP) Terrorwarnungen dazu genutzt, verstärkte Kameraüberwachung auf Weihnachtsmärkten zu fordern. All dies ist eingebettet in eine große Aufrüstungsoffensive....." @surveillance@a.gup.pe https://perspektive-online.net/2023/12/vom-weihnachtsmarkt-zum-ueberwachungsstaat/ #Überwachung #Staat #Herrschaft #Privacy #Videoüberwachung #Antireport #Polizei

New level of enshittification unlocked. Some of the jobs I'm applying for are now adding my email from my job application to their marketing emails to buy their services. I'm noticing more often submitting a job application now requires you to accept a fucking Terms of Service before you can submit it. :blobcatangery: #enshittification #jobsearch #privacy

@perlman@indieweb.social Ok, to show I am not just talking either, here is a #reticulum protocol analysis with focus on #privacy Including comparison to other projects. The TLDR is: #RNS is reasonably good hiding identity from services, but leaks metadata on network level. https://codeberg.org/MarSik/reticulum-audit/src/branch/main/reticulum-source-privacy-flaw.md I tried to back up all my claims and reasoning with links and sources. But feel free to call me out on any inaccuracy as the final text is rather long and I might have missed something. #tor #i2p can check me too.

US lawmakers introduce bill to require warrants for government data searches

Seems like a good bill despite being introduced by Boebert. Does this have a chance of passing? We’ll see. Could be worth contacting your reps. Not sure what sane person would be against this honestly.

Google has announced plans to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the developer of Claude AI. The previous record was $13 billion from Microsoft into OpenAI. Amazon had already given Anthropic $4 billion. Three tech giants are now financially tied to the three leaders of the frontier AI race. Independent players at this level have effectively disappeared. Computing power is controlled by the same cloud providers. Training data flows from platforms owned by the same corporations. Talent is recruited by whoever has the deepest pockets. This is not competition. This is structural monopoly. Anthropic markets itself as a safety-first AI lab with Constitutional AI. The question remains: who writes the constitution? A private company now dependent on Google and Amazon. Corporate oversight of "safe AI" is not neutral academic process. It is the definition of allowable knowledge through the lens of business interests. When you talk to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, your conversations are stored on corporate servers. Official reason: improving models. Default setting: data collection. You can opt out if you find the buried setting. Most users never will. The alternative is not utopian. Open models like Meta LLaMA 4 and Mistral AI can run locally on your own hardware. Ollama and LM Studio provide one-command installation. Local AI means no data collection. No corporate control. No surveillance. Frontier models are more capable. But for most daily tasks, open models are sufficient. The question is not technical. It is structural. And the window for keeping AI as a public good rather than a corporate asset is closing. https://newsgroup.site/google-40-billion-anthropic-ai-monopoly-open-source/ #AI #Monopoly #Google #Anthropic #OpenAI #Microsoft #Amazon #OpenSource #Privacy #LocalAI

By 2026, over 130 countries representing 98 percent of global GDP are developing or implementing Central Bank Digital Currencies. This is not just digital cash. It is a fundamental restructuring of the relationship between state and citizen. Unlike physical cash, which remains anonymous and decentralized, CBDCs are the opposite. Fully transparent. Fully controlled. Fully dependent on whether your actions are approved by authorities. The most dangerous feature is programmable money. Specific mechanisms already being tested or discussed include expiration dates for currency, spending restrictions on specific categories of goods, geographic limitations on where funds can be used, and instantaneous disconnection from the financial system without court proceedings or appeal. China's digital yuan serves as the pilot project for global control. Operating across 25 cities. Seven trillion yuan in transactions. Tied to identity through passport, phone number, and facial recognition. Already used to block accounts of protesters. Already linked to social credit scores. The European Central Bank is piloting the digital euro with a 3,000 euro holding limit. Offline functionality means delayed synchronization, not true anonymity. Denmark has already removed mandatory cash acceptance. Sweden is moving in the same direction. Canada's 2022 Freedom Convoy showed what is possible: bank accounts frozen by government order. With CBDCs, that operation takes milliseconds and requires no judicial approval. Cash is being systematically phased out. CBDCs are being systematically phased in. The window for maintaining financial privacy is closing. #CBDC #Privacy #DigitalTyranny #Surveillance #Cash #DigitalEuro #DigitalYuan #FinancialFreedom https://newsgroup.site/cbdc-digital-tyranny-central-bank-control/

This London trip has reminded me that it's almost impossible to navigate around quickly with any other map app beside Google Maps. There used to be a privacy frontend for it... But that no longer seems to be the case with the death of DivestOS Is there anything else like that out there? I hate having Google Maps on my otherwise deGoogled phone but I can't do without it. #AskFedi #Privacy @privacyguides@mastodon.neat.computer
