«Clicking "reject cookies" might not actually do anything: Google, Microsoft, and Meta largely ignore cookie opt-outs, independent audit says» …and then they complain that users reduce their spying by tracking banners such as @ublockorigin, @noscript@mastodon.social, @privacybadger@mastodon.social or/and @libredirect@fosstodon.org?! 🍪 https://www.techspot.com/news/112073-clicking-reject-cookies-might-not-actually-do-anything.html #cookies #google #microsoft #meta #web #ignorance #optout #click #block #spying #rejectcookies #cookieblocking

Russian government hackers are targeting Signal and WhatsApp users in a “large-scale global” campaign, two Dutch agencies warn. The Netherlands’ Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) and the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) accused “Russian state actors” of using phishing and social engineering techniques to take over accounts on the messaging apps. @Techcrunch@flipboard.com has more: https://flip.it/KYMZLt #Tech #Spying #WhatsApp #Signal #Technology

The US govt is building a new tool to circumvent filters after gutting a genuine project. "While freedom.gov is ostensibly also an “internet freedom” project, it does not propose to preserve privacy – instead, it appears to funnel users into an opaque, central system controlled by a US government agency.' Linked to ICE. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/19/us-builds-website-that-will-allow-europeans-to-view-blocked-content #Spying

When you want to spy illegally on your neighbour Israel can help. And it's been tested on Palestinians. You see how easily the Palestinians can be targeted and killed. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/israeli-startup-builds-zero-click-spy-tools-for-western-intelligence-agencies/ar-AA1VYpt6?ocid=socialshare #israel #security #spying #hacking
