Hidden AliExpress audio tracking: Scripts run on the homepage before any login, and blocking them leaves the site working. That weakens the strictly necessary exemption. Who is liable in the EU? https://ppc.land/hidden-aliexpress-audio-tracking/ #Privacy #DataProtection #EURegulations #CyberSecurity #OnlineShopping

now why would a premier international logistics company, with EU roots, want to send your shipment details to Facebook among others?

I am certain this could have EU-GDPR consequences, including fines. Or are they only doing this to exploit people in developing countries, without a strong data-protection framework?

Para quienes estamos en el fediverso, cada vez pesa más la idea de que no todo lo que guardamos debería terminar siendo analizado, monetizado o expuesto. Y con las fotos eso se vuelve todavía más sensible, porque no solo hablamos de recuerdos: muchas veces también contienen metadatos, lugares, rostros, rutinas e incluso información que preferimos mantener lejos de miradas ajenas.

Por eso me gustan los servicios y aplicaciones FOSS y Ente Photos no es la excepción, porque no somos el producto, y cuando un servicio te respeta, es razonable, transparente y acompañado de software de calidad, no veo el problema en adquirir dicho servicio.

Sus precios me parecen razonables para lo que ofrece: 50 GB por $2.49, 200 GB por $4.99 y 1 TB por $9.99 al mes. Además, Ente ofrece 10 GB gratis de base, y su programa de referidos da 10 GB extra tanto a quien invita como a quien se registra/suscribe con el código. Así que, usando mi código YAKSHA, tendrías: 10 GB base + 10 GB por referido = 20 GB desde el inicio. Nisiquiera tienes que pagar por el servicio, incluso a mí personalmente me costo llenar esos 20 GB de espacio, Animate que de todas formas no tienes nada que perder.

Recuerda Código YAKSHA en la sección Configuración -> Referral para que tengas los 20GB desde un principio.

#TikTok’s #international revenues surged to $9.1 billion in 2025, driven by growth in the UK, Europe, and Latin America. However, the company faces mounting #legal and #regulatory challenges in #Europe, including potential fines totalling tens of billions of dollars related to data privacy and compliance with the #DSA. These challenges include a $7.4 billion fine from the Irish #DataProtection Commission and ongoing investigations from the EU and UK. https://www.forbes.com/sites/iainmartin/2026/08/20/tiktoks-international-revenues-boom-to-91-billion-despite-looming-europe-fines/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Say a platform has the typical "add someone to the team" feature. Say Alice puts in Bob's email so he becomes part of the team and Bob gets the invitation via email.

Would the platform be breaching GDPR by collecting Bob's email without Bob's consent? Or is that considered legitimate use?

I'm thinking of the case where there is a breach in the platform, and Bob, who never accepted the invitation, wonders why his email is in the breach.

"Vehicle surveillance giant Flock Safety has told the public for years that its technology “cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals.” It has now built a system that does both, an artificial intelligence tool for police that can identify drivers and track vehicles by their patterns of movement alone, WIRED has learned.

Drawing on a network of cameras that logs the movements of drivers in more than 6,000 communities, the tool can pick out potential witnesses by how often their cars pass through a neighborhood, or surface a driver’s “associates” from the cameras they pass together. Because the system also reaches police case files, 911 dispatch logs, and commercial identity records, those plates can be turned into names, home addresses, and relatives. It can search for people in an area drawn on a map based on nothing more than a physical description.

The software, originally called Nightshift and more recently renamed OS Investigate, ships with 69 prewritten prompts that officers can select, review, or edit, and then submit to the AI. Officers can also input prompts of their own.

The suggested prompts sit in a cache of more than 450 files that WIRED found on Flock’s own website, served by its login pages to anyone who loaded them. The code describes 45 tools at the AI’s disposal, giving it access to plate scans and camera metadata, arrest records, case files, dispatch logs, ballistics results, and commercial databases that contain Social Security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives and associates."

#GitHub may have a data #leak...

Yesterday I got a spam message sent to my dedicated GitHub email address. "Dedicated" means I only use it to log into GitHub. The option to "Keep my email addresses private" is active.

As far as I can tell, I'm not leaking this email address anywhere myself. A Google search turns up nothing.

Soooo, is it just me, or is there anyone else who got the impression there's something wrong?

Maybe the recent #outage is related?
