Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now! – Threema
This Wednesday, June 19, 2024, the #EU Council could be voting on the controversial #ChatControl bill. Should it pass, the consequences would be devastating: Under the pretext of child protection, EU citizens would no longer be able to communicate in a safe and private manner on the Internet. The European market’s location advantage would suffer a massive hit due to a substantial decrease in data security. And EU professionals like lawyers, journalists, and physicians could no longer uphold their duty to confidentiality online. All while children wouldn’t be better protected in the least bit. On the contrary, Chat Control could have a negative impact on minors in particular.

Threema
Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now!
With its legislative proposal known as “Chat Control,” the EU Commission is trying to establish an unprecedented mass-surveillance apparatus of Orwellian proportions in the European Union. If EU citizens don’t stand up for privacy now, it may be too late.

#Liberty Cannot Exist Inside a #Panopticon
Liberty is not possible in an omnipresent surveillance Panopticon because part of being at liberty is having one's #privacy secure. USA's Fourth Amendment to the Bill of Rights is based upon this very idea. After seeing Oracle's Ellison in the WH on day two, I thought it appropriate to make this 30-min. mini doc to explain a brief history of the Panopticon and what it really is: a machine that can be used to modify the behaviors of those inside of it in any way its controllers see fit.
As EFF's Schneier said, "Too many wrongly characterize the debate as 'security versus privacy.' The real choice is liberty versus control."

SOCIAL MEDIA SPIES EXPOSED: PROFILES VANISH AFTER
https://www.mintpressnews.com/social-media-spies-exposed/290506/
A network of hundreds of former agents of the CIA, FBI, and other three-letter agencies, as well as high State Department and NATO officials working at social media giants, such as Facebook, Google, TikTok, and Twitter. These individuals are overwhelmingly concentrated in politically sensitive departments, such as trust and safety, security, and content moderation, meaning that these ex-spies and intelligence officials are helping to influence what billions of people around the world see, read and hear (and deciding who is promoted and who is suppressed).
Social media is not a neutral global town square, but rather a battleground being silently fought over. Over the past decade, the U.S. national security state has infiltrated major social media platforms, in a successful attempt to manipulate the public debate and influence what the world sees and does not see. This influence operation dwarfs any schemes of which official enemy nations are accused.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.

AI Can Now Easily Unmask Your Secret Online Life (Even If You Use a Fake Name) | it's FOSS
Imagine this: You're on Reddit, Hacker News, or some forum, posting with a silly username like GamerCat2025 or SecretCoderX. You think you are anonymous, and no one knows you and so you can freely express your thoughts.
Well, a brand-new research paper just blew that idea apart. It's called "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs" which is a fancy way of saying "figuring out the real person behind a secret online name".

Nekogram APKs Accused of Hidden Spying Code | One Jail Break
A new investigation by security researcher Repinek is raising alarm over Nekogram, a widely used third-party Telegram client, with claims the app’s Android builds may include covert spying functionality. The report alleges that released APKs contain hidden code capable of collecting and silently transmitting sensitive user data.
The core concern isn’t just privacy, it’s trust. According to the findings, the behavior identified in compiled APKs does not exist in the project’s public source code, suggesting users may be installing something materially different from what developers publish on the Nekogram GitHub.
