I feel this needs to be repeated The annoyance of cookie banners doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data. No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.Simple. My websites have no cookie banners, because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors. Yours shouldn't either. #Privacy #Cookies #PrivacyLaw

@ilumium Where would be the profit in that?

@thibaultamartin I'm part of their userbase and I wouldn't mind if they were useful features that advance open source AI. Some of the stuff they've done, like llamafile, is useful in that respect.So far all the _browser_ features I've seen that have shipped were half-baked, buggy, and without a clear user story, and I've disabled them all.The "AI Window" concept sounds like they're trying to reinvent Open WebUI. That's a very high bar to clear.

It's incredible to me how we gave up on so many aspects of privacy in the past five years. Things that we were taking for granted not long ago. Now, some think it's totally normal to record others without their consent in any contexts. People feel entitled to others' images and personal lives, incessantly demanding access to it. Everyone needs to share everything publicly online or be deemed suspicious, and excluded. This has greatly errored the fabric of social relationships and trust in our societies. There is so much we need to do to heal this culture and the damages that have been done and continue to be done. We need to treat each other with respect. Genuine respect as human beings. And consent, true consent with true choices, is at the center of that. #Privacy #HumanRights #Consent

Chat Control is one of the most important issue for human rights and democracy in the West right now. There is little time left to fight back!If you don't know what it is: read this article If you are in the EU: Contact your MEPs NOW If you already contacted your MEPs: Contact your local media TODAY to ask them to report and inform on the dangers of Chat Control. If you are not European: Spread the word! Talk about it on social media. Contact your local media. Contact your representatives to share your concerns about similar proposals and the loss of privacy rights. This would affect you too!This is an urgent matter. We cannot let the West slip in this authoritarian dystopia. We must stop Chat Control #ChatControl #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy #DigitalRights #EUpol #UKpol #USpol #CanPoli

Prepare your Tails in advance, you might need it soon.#Privacy #Safety

Hey @protonprivacy it would be nice if you could update your website. Given that both of us fight for #privacy and #opensource, we must not use the same marketing tactics like Big Techs do.

Our governments are about to decide whether 450M Europeans deserve privacy - or not.Help ensure your country says NO to Chat Control: Call you local representatives!Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. #privacy More on how to stop Chat Control: https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism

This is what many people (including myself) suspected would happen with these LLM SaaS services — that they would become spyware.And, not just that, but — that they would take spyware to another level.“OpenAI admitted that it's scanning users' conversations and reporting to police any interactions that a human reviewer deems sufficiently threatening.”https://futurism.com/people-furious-openai-reporting-police#AI #LLM #OpenAI #Privacy #Spyware

Denmark just passed a groundbreaking law: citizens now own the copyright to their own face, voice, and body.This is a major win against AI deepfakes and unauthorized digital identity use.

'#Ad Blocking is Not #Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German CourtThere’s little doubt that online businesses reliant on advertising revenue are negatively affected by increasing use of #adblocking solutions.Yet it’s thanks to abusive and invasive #ads, and threats to #privacy due to incessant online tracking, that #adblockers became so popular. https://torrentfreak.com/ad-blocking-is-not-piracy-decision-overturned-by-top-german-court-250819/

Age verification is creating an information desert.The Online Safety Act sets every UK user to child as default.Teenagers? Blocked. Adults? Content denied unless we do age checks with unregulated companies.It's not just porn! News on Gaza and Ukraine is being scrubbed from view, threatening #freedomofexpression as well as #privacy https://www.404media.co/uk-users-need-to-post-selfie-or-photo-id-to-view-reddits-r-israelcrimes-r-ukrainewarfootage/#OnlineSafetyAct #onlinesafety #OSA #palestine #gaza #ukraine #reddit #ageverification #ageassurance #censorship #ukpolitics #ukpol

Stop using Big Tech to organize your protests! They're part of the authoritarian surveillance and oppression as well. Replace Meetup/Facebook Groups with Mobilizon: https://mobilizon.org Replace Google Docs with CryptPad: https://cryptpad.fr Replace Google Map with Organic Maps: https://organicmaps.app️ Replace YouTube with PeerTube: https://joinpeertube.org Replace Gmail and Google Calendar with Proton or Tuta: https://proton.mehttps://tuta.com️ Create a simple html website with no tracking and no cookies, and post links to it everywhere, including paper posters and stickers.We can organize without Big Tech. We have done it for centuries before! #Protest #Democracy #DigitalRights #HumanRights #Privacy #MassSurveillance
