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

Timely and needed statement as fights against cryptography are emerging again.

Definitely very important as our privacy is attacked once more...

Good reminder on how the W3C works and what it evaluates. If Web Environment Integrity would become a "standard" it'd likely be more of a "de facto" thing because a major player shoved it everyone's throat.

This is an excellent and needed work of contextualization. Ten years after, looking back at how the Snowden Revelations impacted the internet and the work done by the IETF. It also shows there is plenty more to do...

As if we still need people to be convinced... apparently we do. So just in case we need a well built argument about it, this post does it.

The "Apple is better at privacy" argument was looking really like a fallacy to me. And indeed, it's getting clearer that it was greatly exaggerated...

Looks like a very comprehensive guide on the topic. I wish they produced an epub version as well. :-)

The difference between words and actions. A good reminder for those who still think that the Apple ecosystem is more virtuous regarding privacy than the Google one. Think again.

So talking about the devil being in the details... That confirms profiling is still very much in the picture (unsurprisingly) but more disturbing:

• this has implications which creates new venues for easier fingerprinting (so extra risks!)
• this is in fact not that hard to cross-reference cohort and user identity (oops, wasn't it main initial motive to prevent this?)
• thus, this will help with monitoring behavior changes over time

And of course that's to be added to the fact that targeted advertising is very much not going away. FLoC or third party cookies... pick your poison I guess?
