#Apple #VisionPro #EyeTracking #Privacy #Surveillance: "The specific privacy implications of eye tracking have received much attention by both researchers and in the popular press. At a basic level, eye gaze can indicate our general level of interest in what we look at. Eye movements can be used to infer a person’s age and gender, as well as medical conditions, fatigue, or other impairments. While there may be other ways for companies to learn this information, gleaning these insights from eye data is problematic because of how involuntary many of our eye movements can be.
We often don’t realize how little control over our eyes that we have. Companies may argue that eye tracking should be treated as analogous to mouse movements, but we don’t realize how little control over our vision we truly have. Eye movements are also harder to disguise. For instance, my mouse was hovering over my desktop menu when I originally typed this sentence. My eyes? They’ve not just fixated on the last letter I typed, but have darted over to my television and plenty of other places I cannot consciously recall."
There is another issue with Ring security cameras which apparently allows attackers to take them offline with not much effort.

There's a lot I could write about the inaccuracies here, but I will say there's a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of aggregation that's applied in our case amongst other issues.

I received an account confirmation email from TikTok -which I absolutely did not try to create. I unblocked their servers from my private DNS server, clicked the "not me" link and filled out their form.
Today, they get back to me wanting screenshots of my email profile.
Uhh, no. I told them no. Not even after hell freezes over. I don't know how that will be received but if it's badly, what can I do from there? This is beginning to piss me off.

#USA #PublicHousing #Surveillance #Privacy: "Well, in many cases, I've found the residents are not aware of the cameras or any kind of policies around them. And most of the cases I found the housing authorities haven't really kind of laid out policies around how they are going to use these cameras.
So I think what you could see for going forward is more of a dialogue about, you know, what should we allow these cameras abused for with should they not be allowed to use for. But yes, the consequences can be very severe when people lose their home in public housing. Oftentimes, they end up homeless because public housing, they're often at the end of the rope, and they don't have any other options. That's why they are living in government subsidized housing.
And when they are evicted from their home, they often not only are homeless, but their future opportunities for employment and housing are severely diminished."
#XR #VR #AR #AI #Privacy #DataProtection: "Extended reality technologies (XR), which include Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), are rapidly maturing and becoming more prevalent to a wider audience, especially as the pandemic drives more people to virtual activities. This technology provides the promise to entertain and educate, to connect and enhance our lives, and even to help advocate for our rights. But it also raises the risk of eroding them online. The headsets and devices can gather deeply personal information about you and the world around you, and the XR services often store this data within their servers. And by introducing artificial intelligence to XR, the privacy and security hazards are augmented, too, as the devices and services gather and analyze data at an unprecedented level."
#Snowden #MassSurveillance #Surveillance #NSA #Privacy: "The legacy of Snowden’s leaks is mixed. Bulk interception and surveillance hasn’t stopped, despite there now being greater transparency and more oversight. “There are a few more safeguards, but mostly it continues,” Caroline Wilson Palow, the legal director at Privacy International (PI), told me. The greatest legacy of Snowden’s leaks are the legal challenges they have made possible. Until these revelations, it was nearly impossible to bring a legal case challenging state surveillance. There have now been several successful lawsuits."
#USA #GeofenceWarrants #Surveillance #Privacy #PoliceState #Geofencing: "The unexpectedly bipartisan efforts against geofence warrants provide a rare glimmer of hope that perhaps the fight against invasive surveillance could be a more collaborative one. Conservatives and progressives alike both worry about the dangers of government overreach enabled by dragnet searches like those facilitated through geofence warrants. And while protecting Americans from surveillance abuses has rarely been a legislative priority, geofence searches are so offensive to the Constitution that this campaign could provide a playbook for bringing both parties together on other privacy issues."

You presume innocence just because #Apple is seems an outlier among big tech. What is more likely: that Apple alone is unique in its strategy and goals, or that it’s better at doing fishy things surreptitiously? I say we can’t be reasonably confident it’s the former.

@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.
With regard to the growing controversy about #RightsCon sponsorship, we would cite @aral, a #privacy advocate, who came to his senses on similar issues. We couldn't agree more! There's nothing wrong with support by Facebook or Google!

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.
The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill threatens to weaken our data rights.
Our report into data privacy during the pandemic points us in the other direction: we need stronger protections and accountability over our data. #DPDIBill
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

“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.”
