So day 2 of testing out #Vivaldi as my main web browser and so far it is going pretty well. It's chromium based so visiting websites obviously works fine. The mobile browser feels responsive and has lots of options including a built in ad and tracker blocker. Installing websites as web apps works great. I know they did it because Vivaldi accounts already existed, but I kinda like that the encryption password for my bookmarks and such is separate from my Vivaldi account password.

Testing shows that if you block an iCloud account in iMessage, the account can still annoy you by sharing their location with you. Even though the account is blocked, you'll get a FindMy notification and the blocked account is immediately added to your FindMy list and you're one touch away from sharing your location with this blocked contact.
Note that the redacted text in the screenshots can be an email address tied to the sender's iCloud account. If the attacker uses an email familiar to you such as your.friendName@something, you might mistakenly share your location.
Cher Scarlett reported this issue to Apple and got the "it's not an issue" response.

"Quand bien même les autorités accepteraient le coût énorme en termes de vie privée d’un tel système, la vraie question est de savoir s’il fonctionne correctement ? « Non », tranche le chercheur qui cite deux autres études, une l’université de Georgetown et l’autre de son équipe à l’Imperial College, montrant la facilité avec laquelle ces algorithmes peuvent être déjoués. Grâce, une fois de plus, à l’intelligence artificielle."

Smartphones richtig verschlüsseln

"Was ist BFU und AFU und warum sollte das Smartphone im Falle einer Beschlagnahmung bestenfalls ausgeschaltet sein?

Mit fast jeder Hausdruchsuchung kommt ein Durchsuschungsbeschluss, der die Beschlagnahmung quasi aller technischer Geräte beinhaltet. Die mit Abstand wichtigste Waffe gegen diese Maßnahme der Repressionsbehörden ist es, keine belastenden Daten auf den Geräten zu speichern. Dennoch finden sich auf diesem immer irgendwie - zumindest teilweise - wertvolle Informationen für Cops und Staatsanwaltschaft, weshalb die zweite Waffe die bestmögliche Verschlüsselung ist.
Auch diese ist nicht unknackbar und auch diese kann nicht verhindern, dass das Gerät schon zuvor mit einem Trojaner infiziert war oder anderweitig abgehört wurde. Dennoch sollten wir es den Cops so schwer wie möglich machen."

@aral @batalanto Oh just what is "privacywashing" anyway? Or " #privacy ?" These terms are contested, and difficult.

Maybe we should give them all up. We think "data protection" applied to "personal information" is much more useful.

With consent, we can support #innovation fueled by data without being hamstrung by vague, expansive worries about "privacy!"

interesting move by #Brave in releasing an #API for their #SearchEngine with an emphasis on it's use in training #AI. I expect this to be a controversial move, imho, it rubs a bit against the grain of the #privacy / #security centric ethos of the Brave ecosystem.

@aral @ellenor2000 It can be hard to tell what is satire with the " #privacy -conscious," who we think can be somewhat tiresome. But we think our message is clear. When you have to face the real world, you have to compromise---including on core values, sometimes. You have to work with the system, /collaborate/ with it as it exists today. All funding is dirty, in the end, isn't it? We can't really afford to discriminate.

Reading about governments different digital strategies, or lack thereof. So many go to #bigtech for their systems, like #M365 with risk of lock-in and privacy violations.

Others, like Schleswig-Holstein, develop digital strategies based on principles of #privacy and #environmental impact and the use of government funds and data in the public interest instead of giving it to the tech giants. Actual fundamental policy-building in the digital arena.

In today’s world, AI systems are used to decide who gets hired, the quality of medical treatment we receive, and whether we become a suspect in a police investigation. While these tools show great promise, they can also harm vulnerable and marginalized people, and threaten civil rights. Unchecked, unregulated and, at times, unwanted, AI systems can amplify racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination.

The Algorithmic Justice League’s mission is to raise awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with empirical research, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policy makers, and industry practitioners to mitigate AI harms and biases. We’re building a movement to shift the AI ecosystem towards equitable and accountable AI

Reuters, slyly making a comment on the effectiveness of most fines to companies the size of Amazon:

“FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya told Reuters the settlements should send a message to tech companies that their need to collect data was not an excuse to break the law. ‘This is a very clear signal to them,’ he said.

“The fines, totaling $30.8 million, represent a fraction of Amazon's $3.2 billion first-quarter profit.”

Also, feeling safe and like your privacy is respected is absolutely 100% a part of #UX.

Disrespecting and/or disregarding user #privacy is an insanely fast way to instantaneously decimate user experience for a large portion of your user base.

It also brings you a bunch of negative PR and repels a good deal of existing and prospective users essentially forever, no matter how good your product may be otherwise.

We all have preconceived notions about #privacy on our desktop operating systems. But how much data does #Windows, #macOS, and even #Linux really collect?

Let’s look at all the things they know about you, what they do with the data, and how you can disable most, or all of that:

An interesting #privacy proposal for partitioning `:visited` links history: https://github.com/kyraseevers/Partitioning-visited-links-history. "On the user's end, this will mean that the browser styles links as `:visited` if and only if they have been visited from this site and frame before."
