  11. ⚠️ Human brain is the subject of much research and investigation, but we don't get a lot of information about the extent to which neurotechnological advances can/ has become a security threat for our mental privacy and autonomy.

    🌏 Transparency and public disclosure about neurotechnological advances is a public service that ALL governments must undertake.

    🦺 Time to start an open discussion about safety threats from neurotechnology.

    L'UE travaille activement sur le règlement relatif aux expulsions. Des descentes de police similaires à celles menées par l'ICE dans les domiciles privés et le port de bracelets électroniques pour les personnes sans papiers pourraient devenir réalité si le règlement est adopté en l'état, avertissent des experts et des organisations de la société civile.

  21. Inkbird is een bedrijf wat thermometers en wifi schakelaars maakt en veel meer.

    Ik gebruik hem niet meer vanwege de toenemende hoeveelheid data die het kastje verzamelt en verstuurd.

    Gevraagd wordt om je huis en kamer indeling in te voeren.
    Wie woont er thuis?
    Kun je ook je biometrische gegevens invullen aub

    Nou nee, aan en uit dat moet je doen

    All the news said the tech will now be rolled out across the entire country but none cited that either. #Palantir is trending on #Bluesky for their data leaks, so I wanted to clue you lot in to this as well.
