  1. I’m into tech, and that’s why AI surveillance feels so dark.
    Cameras, phones, cars, apps, location data, and servers are already everywhere. Connect all of that to AI, and it can see, hear, search, compare, and remember at a scale what NO human ever could.
    AI doesn’t have to be evil to become dangerous. It just needs enough data and the wrong control. #AI

  21. Android’s openness is facing a major change.

    The Keep Android Open campaign says Google’s planned 2027 developer verification requirements could restrict apps from being installed unless their developers register with Google.

    The campaign’s open letter has been signed by 71 organizations from 23 countries, including F-Droid, GrapheneOS, KDE, EFF, FSFE, Nextcloud, and others.

  25. RE: ieji.de/@GalacticGoddess/11736

    As we learned with the "Dirty Deal" (Chat Control 2.0) as well as the US's GUARDIAN Act:

    Always be critical of bill revisions and proposed deals. Just because governments might make these bills marginally less shitty, doesn't mean we can declare victory.

    We can only declare victory when these bills are defeated (or at least 100% defanged).

  26. Reminder: All these proposed "internet safety" measures (under 14/15/16 social media bans, age verification, client side scanning, OSA copycat laws, etc.) are ineffective, if not outright counterproductive at protecting minors and the public at large.

    The true purpose of these measures are follows:

    For Governments:

    -Ensure that things like Arab Spring, the 2020 George Floyd Protests, and the surge in Pro-Palestine sentiment can never happen again.
    -Censor evidence of war crimes and corruption.
    -Get rid of anything they personally find weird/icky (furries, LGBTQ+ community, voting rights resources, mental/reproductive health resources, etc.)

    For Corporations (Meta, OpenAI, AAA gaming publishers, etc.):

    -These giant companies know they are rotten to the core. But rather then introspect and improve, they want to ensure they're the only game in town (or at least ensure everyone else dies with them).
    -Profit from selling even more personal data

    Call your region appropriate representatives! Sign petitions! Participate in protests! Let governments and corporations know we don't want any of this!
