Locked In, Locked Out - Apple's Walled Garden Should Come With Liability

Apple locks five operating systems against any independent audit while claiming its review keeps users safe. If nobody can verify what apps do with our data then the liability should be Apple's.

Using Claude to reclaim privacy by replacing mobile apps

Mobile apps have ignored privacy law for two decades. With Claude Code and a local docker server I am replacing them with private PWAs that keep everything on my own network.

"Ihre Sicherheit hat höchste Priorität!"

Wenn dem mal so wäre, dann würde die #Sparkasse keine Tracking-Tools nutzen, schon gar nicht wenn sie aus den Staaten, wie beispielsweise von Google, kommen.

#Sicherheit und #ePrivacy geht Banken meiner Meinung nach am A.... vorbei.

"Sie verwenden die S-pushTAN-App auf einem Gerät mit veraltetem Betriebs­system. Ihre S-pushTAN-App wird deshalb ab dem 17.08.2026 nicht mehr unterstützt. Bitte aktualisieren Sie Ihr Betriebs­system oder verwenden Sie ein aktuelleres Gerät."

So so, liebe #Sparkasse , aber mein Tablet mit Google-freiem LineageOS darf ich auch nicht nehmen, da eure App auf Google angewiesen ist.

Ihr habt es auch irgendwie nicht mit #Datenschutz und #ePrivacy oder?

Liebe @heiseonline Redaktion,

es gibt weitaus gewichtigere Gründe als eine " #Reichweitenangst " für mich, warum es (leider) immer noch eher ein älterer Verbrenner als ein neues eAuto wird.

Neben den Anschaffungskosten sind es vor allem #Datenschutz und #ePrivacy warum ich mir wohl im Rest meines Autofahrerlebens kein Elektrofahrzeug zulegen werde.

Oder kennt ihr ein neues Auto, das ganz ohne "nach Hause telefonieren" auskommt?
In dem ich keine Rundumüberwachung "geniesen" muss?

On va finalement avoir droit au traitement de fond de la plainte que NOYB avait déposé auprès de l'autorité de protection des données sur la bannière cookies du site de la VRT.

Celle-ci avait été classée sans suite pour des raisons de procédure, nous privant d'une décision importante pour l'exemple.

Ce niveau de rebondissement..

Envie de travailler sur votre site internet cet été ?

C'est l'occasion de refaire le point sur certaines pratiques quand vous partagez ou collectez des données personnelles via le site.. et plus globalement.

ou quand tu commences à écrire un truc pour expliquer des choses à un client, et puis ça part en vrille, et puis ça finit en blog..

J'espère que ça sera utile pour faire des connexions concrètes entre obligations RGPD et vie réelle.

Chat Control 1.0 is moving back towards EU law, but it is not final yet.

It would again allow some providers to voluntarily scan private communications for child sexual abuse material and suspected grooming. Parliament seeks to exclude end-to-end encrypted messages; the Council must now accept or reject that amendment.

Child protection matters. So do privacy, encryption and due process.

🔻 Today's vote on #ChatControl 1.0 marks a disappointing step backwards.

The European Parliament has approved the revival of the interim #ePrivacy derogation, despite having rejected a virtually identical proposal only a few months ago.

Die Reaktivierung der Chatkontrolle 1.0 ist ein massiver Angriff auf vertrauliche Kommunikation und ein demokratiepolitisches Armutszeugnis.

Kurz vor der Sommerpause, im Eilverfahren, trotz massiver Kritik und ohne überzeugenden Nachweis der Verhältnismäßigkeit wird der Weg für die anlasslose Durchleuchtung privater Kommunikation erneut freigemacht.

Kinderschutz wird hier als Vorwand missbraucht, um Grundrechte auszuhöhlen. Das ist unverantwortlich und gefährlich.

CSA Survivor Pleads with EU Officials to block Chat Control vote

A child abuse survivor urges MEPs to reject Chat Control — mass scanning won't protect children, and it breaks the encryption survivors need to safely report abuse.

The United Nations runs Google's ad-tech on its own website, without consent, while telling the rest of us to account for AI's footprint

The UN demands AI accountability while running Google ad-tech, analytics and tracking on its own website - with no consent and a measurable, avoidable carbon cost.

The Maltese police have opened a criminal investigation into adtech surveillance, and the defendant is my own health insurer

A national police force has, for the first time to my knowledge, opened a criminal investigation into the deployment of adtech surveillance to a person's device without consent. It has taken eighteen years.

CIPA and the Environmental Crimes Directive: why forensic web evidence just became the most contested thing in privacy litigation

Google quietly removes the on-device AI privacy assurance from Chrome's Settings UI

Google has quietly removed the privacy assurance from Chrome's on-device AI Settings UI. The sentence promising that the model runs locally without sending data to Google's servers has been deleted, and the toggle moved out of the System block to reduce the chance the change is noticed. There are three plausible reasons for tha…

Google's "Boss" of Chrome gaslights on unlawful Nano push

Google's Chrome boss Parisa Tabriz tells the press that users can simply opt out of the unsolicited Gemini Nano install. Google's own Chrome manifest proves the opposite. Chrome reached into the device, flipped the flag, downloaded the 4 GB model and only then surfaced the settings UI after the fact. Opt-out is not the legal standard here — opt-in is. This piec…

The problem with Consent Management Platforms is they are unlawful by design

Every CMP I have looked at in fifteen years sets a cookie before the user has consented to anything. That is a direct breach of Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, restated by the CJEU in Planet49 (C-673/17), and reinforced by the Belgian decision against the IAB TCF. This piece explains, step by step, what a lawful consent…

1/4 ⛔ The Council has failed to reach an agreement on the #DataOmnibus.

A group of Member States — including Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Austria — pushed to postpone the discussion and blocked agreement on the latest Council text.

🚦 After months of negotiations, it seems that powerful corporations are succeeding in putting pressure on the Council to weaken #GDPR and #ePrivacy protections even further.
