#mobile-privacy — Public Fediverse posts

I remember a time decades ago when NSW was considered a police state where crooked cops was a systemic problem. It doesn’t look like it has changed much. Worse, the police now tramples on common law rights…

“The October 2022-enacted digital evidence access order regime provides that police can obtain a DEAO when executing search and crime scene warrants, and if the subject of the order refuses this, then it’s an offence carrying up to 5 years prison time. And as the section containing this criminal offence notes, this measure overrides the common law right against self-incrimination.

However, once NSW police officers have obtained access to a suspect’s phone, they don’t simply scroll through the owner’s latest social media posts, as rather, they employ a device and software developed by Israeli digital forensics company Cellebrite that once connected to a civilian’s phone downloads its entire content, including all deleted messages and images.”

How good are ‘panick buttons’, those that wipe a mobile clean as the push of a button? Not that I’d necessarliy consider it on my mobile, but you never know, right? I can’t see Police powers being roled back anytime soon, quite the contrary, expansion of those powers seems inevitable while #Minns is in charge.

Moje dane są wreszcie moje.

Rzeczywiście, pełna decentralizacja wymaga tu ustępstw, ale moje podejście to świadomy wybór:

DeepSeek – używam tylko do zaawansowanych zadań (obliczenia, kodowanie), bez danych prywatnych, z wyłączonym treningiem modelu i bez skanowania dokumentów
Facebook/Messenger – Facebook stopniowo zamieniam na Mastodona, ale znajomi jeszcze tam są, więc Messenger niestety pozostaje
Przeglądarki – zarówno Quiche jak i Brave to WebKit pod spodem, ale przynajmniej Quiche jest transparentny

Dodatkowa warstwa ochrony: Wszystkie aplikacje mają wyłączone śledzenie, dostęp do lokalizacji i Siri. Dodatkowo używam NextDNS do filtrowania na poziomie DNS.

To nie jest idealne, ale każdy krok w kierunku privacy ma znaczenie. Kompromisy są nieuniknione na iOS, ale świadomy wybór i wiele warstw ochrony to rzeczywiście robi różnicę.

Ich versteh nicht, was alle haben. 🤷
GrapheneOS läuft bei mir einfach. Alles. Kein Rumgebastele – nur ein OS, das genau das tut, was ich will, ohne mich zu tracken oder zu bevormunden.
Was die da hingezaubert haben ist unglaublich. Android, wie es sein sollte – sauber, schnell, respektvoll.
Wer noch zögert: einfach machen. Bestes Upgrade, das ich meinem Handy je gegönnt hab. 🔒

Friendly reminder
Your keyboard touches every word before any app does.

Gboard processes most typing locally, but still collects usage data and sends info when cloud features are enabled.
Open source keyboards like FUTO, FlorisBoard, and Heliboard keep everything on device and are easier to audit.

Privacy tools don’t solve everything.
They reduce risk and improve defaults.

@spocko The future prediction definitely doesn't apply to me.
My telephone is on the desk - I never have it with me, am I the only one?
