  8. There's only one city in America that isn't on Google's Street View. Documentary filmmaker Chris Parr set out to map it, using North Oak, Minnesota's byzantine rules and the help of a drone. His experience shows who gets privacy in America, and who doesn't.

    DHS BUILT A FACE SCANNING APP. YOU MIGHT ALREADY BE IN IT.

    They came to his workplace armed with guns, gas canisters and artificial intelligence. He fought back with his quick wit and street smarts.

    What happened next is a preview of what routine face scans could look like on American streets, in this special France 24–Mother Jones report.

    Abdikafi Abdurahman Abdullahi, known as Kafi, is one of the few people willing to speak publicly about being subjected to the Department of Homeland Security’s new facial recognition tool, Mobile Fortify.

    The Somali-American engineer-turned-Uber driver was waiting for a fare in an airport rideshare lot on January 7th, just hours after Renee Good was shot and killed by federal agents. As he watched a video of her death on his phone, there was a knock on his car door. Outside stood roughly a dozen ICE agents, demanding proof of his citizenship.

    Kafi, who is Black and Muslim, refused to show his ID, arguing he was being racially profiled. Instead, he began filming, and his unflappable, mischievous comebacks transformed his video into a viral sensation.

    The Department of Homeland Security officially acknowledged the existence of Mobile Fortify in January. But by then it had already been used over 100,000 times in American communities, according to recent court filings.

    “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society that we have always professed to abhor here in the United States,” warned ACLU attorney Nate Wessler

  10. Naomi Brockwell's latest video argues a pragmatic approach to privacy is wrong. I agree with her 100%. I believe the same people who argue that true privacy is impractical are the same people who believe "AI" is inevitable. They are driven more by convenience than values.

    Dare to be inconvenienced.

    Privacy is a right.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think you have to change everything at once and every step you take to improve your privacy is a win. Everyone has a different threat model. You should care about the data that is harvested at your expense.

  16. The "privacy" you think you have in Malaysia is an illusion.

    Authorities have a legal backdoor into your entire digital existence. Under Section 249 of the Communications & Multimedia Act (CMA), police can demand your passwords, PINs, or biometrics during an investigation.

    Here is the creepy part: Refusing to unlock your phone IS the crime itself.

    They don't need to crack sophisticated encryption; they just crack you with the threat of immediate arrest for "obstruction." You become a criminal just for trying to protect your data dignity.

    And it's getting worse. The incoming #Pindaan2025 amendments propose escalating penalties for non-compliance up to a staggering RM1 MILLION fine or 5 YEARS in prison.

    This isn't about fighting crime; it's an infrastructure designed to force compliance through state-sanctioned fear. Your digital mind is yours only until they ask for it. Wake up.

  20. "AI" (clickbait llm companies), cloudflare, docker, nfts, cryptocurrencies(with extremely minor caveats), cloud storage, flatpack, saas, etc... Are all the same disease to the computation ecosystem. Hardware must be subservient to software else it is a tool against users instead of for users. We are losing the pressure to develop software that undsrstands the hardware it relies on and pressuring hardware to be usuable by out of house developers. We are bowing when we should be punching. To be clear, you do not control software on hardware you can't touch. You can't trust how your software is being interpreted if you can't check the interpretation. Fight the corpos, fight the binary blobs, fight the containers, or surrender to centralization.

  21. See!? All that stress and fuss for nothing. If you're on Windows 10, you've got another year to figure things out. Who knows, Microsoft may even extend it again.

    So now you have time to buy that Windows 11 compliant DRM machine to go all-in on that CoPilot Ai surveillance, or plan for a more private alternative, like Linux maybe!

  22. Do you want your #government to see and know everything about you? #palantir does, and they have built the tools to track your every move, post, and all your friends - The company’s software enables law enforcement and government analysts to connect vast, disparate datasets, build intelligence profiles and search for individuals based on characteristics as granular as a tattoo or an immigration status. It transforms historically static records – think department of motor vehicles files, police reports and subpoenaed social media data like location history and private messages – into a fluid web of intelligence and surveillance. These departments and agencies use Palantir’s platform to assemble detailed profiles of individuals, mapping their social networks, tracking their movements, identifying their physical characteristics and reviewing their criminal history. #Surveillance #SurveillanceState #GovernmentOverreach #privacy #RightToPrivacy #anonymity #RepublicansDidThis #GOP

  23. "Anyone entering the US—from citizens to temporary visa holders—can potentially have their phones or electronics searched by CBP staff. Across the country, border zones typically fall outside of Fourth Amendment protections that require warrants for devices to be searched by officials."

  24. "Phone searches at the US border hit a record high: Customs and Border Protection agents searched nearly 15,000 devices from April through June of this year, a nearly 17 percent spike over the previous three-month high in 2022."
