#snooping — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, Canada! 🇨🇦 In a stunningly stealthy move, our northern neighbors have decided to sign a #UN #cybercrime #treaty that's about as transparent as #maple #syrup on a foggy morning. It's as if someone told them that the best way to fight cybercrime is to snoop on everyone—bravo, #privacy champions! 🙈🔍

🔔 Oh no, Ron's at it again! Apparently, we're all going to be "shocked" by what the #NSA is doing with Section 702, but let's be honest, the real surprise would be if they weren't #snooping. 🙄 Now, back to pretending this is news! 📢

This is a new era of surveillance

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

A man always is to be himself the judge of how much of his mind he will show to other men; even to those he would have work along with him. There are impertinent inquiries made: your rule is to leave the inquirer uninformed on that matter; not, if you can help it, misinformed; but precisely as dark as he was!

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-22), “The Hero as King,” Home House, Portman Square, London

🚨 BREAKING: #Xcode is a Snoopy McSnoopface, constantly phoning home like a clingy ex. 🤳 Apparently, Objective-C and #JavaScript are faster than #Swift, who knew? 🙄 But wait, turn off the internet and magically, Xcode stops dragging its feet. So, disconnect from WiFi to speed up builds—because living in the 90s is practical, right? 💾

"Facebook snooped on users’ Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal"

Das ist vorsätzliches Umgehen von Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und eine illegale Überwachung/Spionage. Wer Meta/Facebook noch in irgendeiner Weise vertraut, der sollte sich gut überlegen, was Vertrauen für ihn bedeutet.
