  7. Many of us still treat privacy as a personal habit: stronger passwords, cleaner settings, fewer things shared.

    But privacy is also about power: who gets to know, classify, predict, influence, and decide what happens next.

    The fight for privacy is a fight for rights.

  13. Headline: Meta employees in the US and UK are organizing against corporate software that tracks workers’ keystrokes and mouse activity

    Me: It's pretty trivial to create a script that sends keystrokes. I've done it with VBScript (past) and Powershell (present) to keep Windoze from logging me out of remote desktop sessions. If I was a Meta employee*, I'd send an ongoing shitload of random keystrokes. Good luck figuring that out, jerks

  25. "A new class action lawsuit accuses OpenAI of sharing data including user chat queries and personal identifying information like emails and user IDs with the tech giants — and targeted advertising behemoths — Meta and Google, without obtaining proper user consent.

    Filed yesterday in California, the lawsuit claims that OpenAI’s data-sharing with Google and Meta violates the California Invasion of Privacy Act, known as CIPA, as well as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. It points specifically to OpenAI’s integrations with Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, which are data-tracking and collection tools that facilitate targeted advertisements.

    The data-tracking model described in the lawsuit — often referred to as “surveillance capitalism” — is the business that the modern internet is built on today. And OpenAI, like countless other tech companies, does include language in its privacy policy noting that it does collect, store, and share a range of consumer inputs and personal information."
