It's really time to get as many people as possible out of those toxic ecosystems...

Mozilla is clearly loosing its way, this is sad to watch. I guess the forks which remove the online advertising measures will become more popular.

They're trying a come back... of course they added layers of security to pretend it's all solved and shiny. They totally ignore the social implications or if something like this even needs to be done. At least one can remove it... for now...

It was to be expected that complaints against Mozilla could happen in Europe. They've been asking for it lately...

People are gasping in horror with Larry Ellison's latest claims... but really they should realize he's not dreaming big. All of that is already here in one form or another. Maybe it was time to protest years ago?

There, now this seems like a real thing... your phone recording you while you're not aware for advertisement purposes. Nice surveillance apparatus. Thanks but no thanks.

Very neat piece, shows quite well the problems with Chat Control like laws. It's been postponed this time, but expect it to comeback somehow.

It was already hard to trust this company, but now... that clearly gives an idea of the kind of monetization channels they're contemplating.

This is a worrying trend we see in law enforcement a bit everywhere. It's a bit too convenient to make such requests even though it is unconstitutional.

It's not the regulation which brings the banners, it's the company insisting on tracking us.

Still a long way to go but definitely a move in the right direction.

Some more insights on the extent of the companies snitching to Facebook.

Very welcome complaont, Meta is trying to workaround the GDPR to increase paid accounts. Can only hope they get fined and that this shady practice disappear (they're not the only ones doing this).

Looks like Microsoft is really catching up fast for its surveillance apparatus to be on par with Google and Meta.

What could possibly go wrong? Panopticon 2.0 here we come.

There's definitely a problem here. The lack of transparency from the involved companies doesn't help. It's also a chance for local and self-hostable models, let's hope their use increases.

Definitely one of the worrying aspects of reducing human labor needs for analyzing texts. Surveillance is on the brink of being increased thanks to it.

Welcome in France, a country scared of its own population where the police uses facial recognition illegally. But don't worry, we can expect attempts to make it legal in the coming months or years instead of addressing the problem. Will it make it less shameful? I don't think so.

Clearly consumer products are going the wrong way in term of privacy...

A longer account of a seminar showing the amount of people and arguments against chat control. The EU commission is pretty isolated in this madness.
