We must protect privacy, even in the face of cryptocurrency crime. As governments crack down on one of the most notorious tools for criminal money laundering in the cryptocurrency world, I’m worried about the ramifications.

Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.
You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole. #privacy

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently investigated how Philadelphia narcotics cops not only allegedly failed to disclose their use of video surveillance in arrest reports or to prosecutors, but also that the video footage at times proved officers were lying when they testified. We talked to the founder of the nonprofit Surveillance Technology Oversight Project about what these new video systems can do and the privacy and other issues they raise.

Visiting websites in this 'modern' time is a paradox: standard Web technologies are better but most commercial websites are pretty terrible—not only because misinformation abounds online, but also because of Big Tech's personal data farming that puts us all at a disadvantage.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ORG has complained to the Information Commissioner's Office (UK) about Meta's changes to their privacy policy.
Meta's plans to take users’ information to 'develop and improve AI' appear to violate GDPR in a number of ways.
We say privacy over profits!

Pleased to announce the launch of Surveillance Watch, an interactive map and resource that documents the hidden connections within the opaque surveillance industry: https://www.surveillancewatch.io/
By mapping out the intricate web of surveillance companies, their subsidiaries, partners, and financial backers, we hope to expose the enablers fueling this industry's extensive rights violations, ensuring they cannot evade accountability for being complicit in this abuse.

JSR's law of data: if you collect it, they will come.
Investigators will eventually identify any consumer product that persistently records peoples' activities.
One day, they'll show up, requesting access.
If the data is consistently helpful, they'll stop asking & start demanding.
Once this happens enough the company will probably create a law enforcement portal to simplify access & save customers the trouble...

"Internet Privacy Is Now A Defense And The Other Side Has The Ball"
There's a whole group of privacy advocates who debate the best ways to keep themselves 'protected' on the Internet. Here's my warning.
You can lock down your private interactions with the internet and reduce your exposure to bad actors, but you have zero control over companies who have collected your most personal information.
My take here:

Great interview with @Mer__edith in @WIRED from @agreenberg talking @signalapp, #surveillance, #privacy and #sustainability
"Signal is a nonprofit because a for-profit structure leads to a scenario where one of my board members goes to Davos, talks to some guy, comes back excitedly telling me we need an AI strategy for profit. Or another one of my board members comes in, gets really nervous that our revenue model, whatever it is, isn’t bringing in something that meets our goals and says, “Well, maybe we can start collecting metadata. Maybe we can reduce the focus on privacy, because of course our primary objective function, as a traditional for-profit, is revenue and growth.” And privacy in an economy powered by surveillance will necessarily hamper those."
